As the summer sun begins to fade in European lands, anticipation for the upcoming LaLiga season 2023 is growing considerably. There is no doubt that the 2023/24 season promises to be one of the most exciting to date, with several teams battling it out for the coveted championship title.

LaLiga is one of the most popular soccer leagues in the world, mainly because of the historic rivalry between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid FC. These teams have given us epic battles over the years, and hopefully, this 2023/24 will be no exception. On the other hand, Atlético Madrid wants to return to glory after playing a 2022/23 season with many ups and downs.

Will FC Barcelona be able to defend its championship title?

FC Barcelona, reigning champions, face the new season with a target on their backs. After an extraordinary campaign last season, the question on everyone’s lips is: will they be able to retain the title?

The Catalans have a strong squad of experienced players and young talents. However, their success will depend largely on their ability to maintain consistency, something they struggled to do in previous seasons. Similarly, FC Barcelona is working on the signings of players such as Bernardo Silva and Joao Cancelo following the imminent departure of Frenchman Ousmane Dembelé to PSG.

Real Madrid aims to return to the top

Real Madrid, Barcelona’s eternal rivals, will undoubtedly try to dethrone the champions. Los Blancos had a turbulent last season, but with a revamped squad with the addition of Jude Bellingham, the possible signing of global superstar Kylian Mbappé and a renewed sense of purpose, they are a formidable force. Moreover, their star-studded lineup, combined with the tactical acumen of their management, could allow them to reclaim the LaLiga crown.

Los Colchoneros want to be competitive again

Atletico Madrid are no slouches either. Despite their disappointing campaign last year, Los Colchoneros have always been able to bounce back. With a squad full of talent and the tactical genius of “Cholo” Simeone, they are more than capable of pulling off an upset and winning the title.

Teams that can spring a surprise

Beyond the traditional powers, several teams could be the season’s revelations. Real Sociedad, Betis, Sevilla, and Villarreal have all shown promise in recent years and could pose a major threat to the usual powerhouses.

Real Sociedad, in particular, is a team to watch out for, coming from fourth last season, and there is no doubt that they are coming into this new season with everything. In addition, the team with a young and dynamic squad and a coach who is not afraid to take risks could become the season’s surprise package. Betis also has a strong team; if they can maintain consistency, they could aspire to the top positions.

Sevilla had a 2022/23 season to forget, but the last sensations at the end of the campaign were very good, so maybe the team will be a pleasant surprise in this 2023/24. Moreover, the club has a solid squad and a winning mentality; it can pull off the upset. 

Finally, Villarreal, the Yellow Submarine, has a history of overcoming and, in recent seasons, they have made an impressive leap in quality in Spain and other international competitions. As the summer sun begins to fade in European lands, anticipation for the upcoming LaLiga season 2023 is growing considerably. There is no doubt that the 2023/24 season promises to be one of the most exciting to date, with several teams battling it out for the coveted championship title.
