SK Adda is a platform for the readers to get involved in the daily banter on the most (un)important topics in the world of sports. Comment on the topic of the day on Facebook, if your idea is unique, quirky or a brilliant troll, we’ll publish them. Here are the top comments from yesterday’s topic.
Real Madrid look stronger with Zidane having trust in the youth players, and the crowd not sullying him for choosing the way he wants the team to play. Benitez was criticized for playing Casemiro, who ended up being the rock for Zidane. Barcelona rely way too much on the three forwards.
Any injury or loss of form would affect them badly. It hasn’t happened till date, but it may. If it doesn’t, then better for them.
Real Madrid will win the league and Copa Del Rey this season. Zizou's vision will help them. He showed it by winning the last 12 out of 12 matches last season. Alvaro Morata is back, so there’s a solid replacement for Benzema who was injured for most of last season. Lucas also showed last season that he is the right replacement for Bale.
SK thinks: Bale is going somewhere? Do you know something the rest of us don’t? Lucas Vazquez is definitely a great option off the bench, but I doubt he’ll be replacing Bale anytime soon.
Real Madrid will dominate initially and win the first Clasico. They will have problems against Atletico, and I'm expecting a draw or a narrow win against them. Real have a better chance of winning only if they don't slip up towards the end. Barcelona might win as well if Suarez performs well like he did last season.
Real Madrid will have the upper hand this season, mainly because of Zizou. After taking command of the team he has lost only two matches - one to Wolfsburg and the other to Atletico Madrid. Plus, the very few signings will ensure a better team chemistry between the players and an overall amazing performance by the team.
A similar situation was seen last season with Barcelona, as due to the transfer ban, they played the same team till the January transfer window and were able to achieve the landmark of going 39 matches unbeaten in all competitions (just 3 short of Juventus' record of 42).
I think Barca will complete a hat-trick of La Ligas. They will also do a Real Madrid by winning 2 UEFA Champions Leagues in three years. They have done it before.
I am a Real Madrid fan, but this time it will be Barcelona, because we haven’t had any great transfers till now.
SK thinks: Wow really? I thought Real Madrid showed some maturity in the transfer window for once by not throwing ridiculous amounts of money at players they don’t need. It ought to also help maintain the squad balance both on and off the pitch. But hey, each to their own.
Malaga. This year the Liga BBVA is gonna shock us like EPL last season.
SK thinks: Well now, wouldn’t that be something?
Atletico Madrid are going to destroy Barca and Real Madrid.
When is Saina's match?
SK thinks: Sunday, 14th August, 5:25pm IST. She faces Marija Ulitina of Ukraine. Follow the events of the match with our live commentary on the game at sportskeeda.com
Valencia. Surprise package.
SK thinks: This I’d genuinely like to see.
Real Madrid are going to destroy both the teams.
SK thinks: What about the other 17 teams?
