With the departure of Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid will look to rebuild a good squad for the future. This season is going to be much of a rebuilding phase for them, with a squad full of young talent looking to be nurtured and inexperience on the bench may cost them a little.

Appointment of new coach Lopetegui who plays a completely different game from Zidane will take some getting used to by the players. They are more likely to compete for a second or third place in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, who guaranteed 25 goals a season. But it would be foolish to rule them out of contention altogether.

FC Barcelona, who have made new additions to their squad this season in the form of Vidal and Arthur to their squad will be stronger than the last season. Even in the last season, they had an almost unbeaten league and with lesser competition this season, they are expected to come out all guns blazing.

Atletico Madrid have become better at League football, They know how to churn out the points. They gave more competition to FC Barcelona is the League than Real Madrid did. Let's hope these two teams give the Catalonian club a good competition to make this season interesting.

Most Likely: FC Barcelona

Quite Likey: Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid

Less likey but have some outside chance: Valencia, Sevilla
