La Liga Winner Odds

It's, again, a two-horse race for the La Liga title this season. Last time out, I said it would be Barcelona to win the league and there's certainly a part of me that wants to stick with them again.

However, I think I'm just about leaning towards the title ending up in Real Madrid's trophy cabinet.

The appointment of Jose Mourinho is certainly an interesting one, but he has worked in big dressing rooms throughout his career. Now, we're not on about talented dressing rooms here, but big personalities.

Every member of that Madrid squad wants to play for the best club in the world by being the best in the world, so there can be clashes, as we have seen in recent years.

However, that is why I like the appointment of Mourinho so much. Then you've got Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior coming off of excellent World Cup runs.

Even if Vini departs, you've still got a fantastic attack from just those two, and then you consider the likely signing of Yann Diomande and it stacks up.

Defensively, the additions of Marc Cucurella, Ibrahima Konate and Denzel Dumfries look great, especially at a combined cost of €75 million. Bernardo Silva is another fantastic signing, too.

I think you can say they've improved substantially this summer and that bodes well for Los Blancos' chances this season.

Barcelona are, of course, fantastic and the amount of quality in their squad is ridiculous. However, I think they could be lacking a few goals this season after the departures of Robert Lewandowski and Marcus Rashford.

If anything is to cost them this season, it'll be that. I have just a touch more faith in Real Madrid's squad and that is why I'm sitting on this side of the fence.
