El Real Madrid tratará de repetir, aunque lo más destacado durante el verano fue que Barcelona sacó la calculadora en busca de remediar su pésimo nivel en la cancha y también resolver su crítica situación financiera. Por su parte, el Real Madrid ha conservado gran parte de su plantilla con la que tuvo un año casi perfecto. El Barcelona ha tenido problemas financieros en los últimos años y su mismo presidente Joan Laporta ha admitido abiertamente la crisis por la que pasa el club blaugrana, por lo que se han tomado medidas extremas para saldar sus deudas multimillonarias. Sin embargo, para un equipo con la historia del Barcelona, sus aficionados solo se pueden conformar con más trofeos en sus vitrinas y alegrías, algo que ha disminuido desde la salida de Lionel Messi en el equipo. “Yo creo que el Barcelona al final promete y mucho esta temporada. Con un Barcelona armado hasta los dientes para retar el dominio del Real Madrid, la Liga de España regresa este fin de semana en el inicio de la temporada 2022-2023.

Lots of doubts ahead of Barca's La Liga opener (Xinhua)

MADRID, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) -- FC Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez still doesn't know which players will be available when his side kicks off their 2022-23 La ...

Without knowing who will be in the squad, it is hard to predict Barca's starting 11. If the fourth 'palanca' doesn't allow Barca to include all seven in their squad for La Liga, Xavi Hernandez will have to decide who is in and who is out - at least for the opening game. The fourth sale of the club's assets this summer - after a further 25 percent of Barca Studios and 25 percent of the club's TV rights for the next 25 years - means the club meet La Liga's financial fair play requirements to inscribe at least some of their five summer signings, as well as returnees Ousmane Dembele and Sergi Roberto, into their squad.

Dest's Barcelona, Musah's Valencia, and de la Torre's Celta Vigo ... (U.S. National Soccer Players)

Sergino Dest's Barcelona, Yunus Musah's Valencia, and Luca de la Torre's Celta Vigo open the 2022-23 La Liga season this weekend.

With US soccer players in intriguing spots ready to step into the limelight, the new La Liga season is here. De la Torre rose to the occasion at Heracles, where he stood out as one of the club’s best performers in a season that ended with relegation. Musah’s role is almost certain to grow, and Gattuso used the preseason to move the American to the center of the field. The move also makes La Liga more interesting for Americans anxious to see their compatriots thrive in a league that is not often home to much of an American presence. The club is regularly in the discussion for multiple trophies, but last year’s domestic success and Champions League title came as a mild surprise. How can we handicap La Liga or reasonably guess at how Barcelona’s season might go when we aren’t sure who is eligible to play for the club?

The LaLiga season gets underway on Friday, as Real Madrid bid to defend their crown after winning a record 35th Spanish league title in 2021/22.

At the time of writing, LaLiga’s financial-fair-play rules had prevented the cash-strapped-yet-big-spending Catalans from registering any of their five close-season purchases: Andreas Christensen, Frank Kessié, Jules Koundé, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha. It doesn’t appear to be possible to watch ESPN+ on the Disney+ app. As part of the deal, ESPN will also show some Spanish second division games each week.

Barcelona will look to make a perfect start to its 2022-23 La Liga campaign when they welcome Rayo Vallecano to Camp Nou on Saturday.

If it isn’t, the (necessary) amount must be close to that.” Despite efforts to reduce costs and pay down its debt, Barcelona still holds 1 billion euros ($1 billion) in debt and has seen its salary cap slashed by the league in recent seasons. Orpheus Media is run by Catalan businessman Jaume Roures, the owner of Mediapro, a major television company involved in Spanish soccer but whose 2020 broadcast rights deal for the French league collapsed. Barcelona is linked to interest in Chelsea’s Marcos Alonso, who would provide competition for Jordi Alba at left back. Where can I watch it on TV? - Saturday’s match will start at 3:00 p.m. EST for viewers in the U.S. However, the match will not be broadcast on conventional TV channels for American audiences. Instead, the match will be broadcast via ESPN+, which can be accessed via the ESPN app on smart TVs and streaming devices.

There is plenty of interest from several teams around Europe and Barça are listening to offers for Dest, but the player’s camp has made it clear that he wants to stay. Dest is 100% healthy and fit to play, so his absence is not injury-related. This is a clear message from Xavi and the club about their plans for the American, who has struggled to earn consistent minutes since joining the club from Ajax two years ago.

10th min.: Quiet start to this one until Raphinha makes a run into the right side of the Rayo box and goes down on a challenge from the left back. 1st min.: Rayo kick off and they're aggressive from the start with a direct ball, and they're pressing high. 45th min.: Jordi Alba makes a key defensive intervention in the box to clear a cross that was heading to Rayo's Isi Palazon. Five minutes of stoppage time. He doesn't give them a chance to finish out the play and the bench is livid. Barcelona are aggressive, with and without the ball. He tried to make the best of a poor Raphinha cross in the first half, and then he had a chance to be the hero with six minutes remaining, but he could not contort his body quickly enough to take advantage of a rebound allowed by the Rayo 'keeper. That was the best chance of the game. 52nd min.: Another chance for Rayo! Sergio Camello runs onto a ball into space and it's chaos in the Barcelona defense. The Dutch do-it-all player gave Barcelona a lift when he came off the bench to play midfield. To add insult to injury, captain Sergio Busquets was sent off in stoppage time for a second yellow card after a high arm in the face of Rayo's Falcao. Lewandowski was the prize catch of the summer for Barcelona, and he was supposed to help resolve matches like these with opponents interested only in defending and countering. And there are plenty more of these matches left on the calendar.
