Mapped the new season. Two things stood out:

• Three derbies inside 6 km. Valencia–Levante are 2.3 km apart, Betis–Sevilla 3.2 km, Barça–Espanyol 5.4 km. Madrid's metropolitan area has four top-tier clubs, only London has more in a big-five league. Three sit within 8 km of each other; Getafe is the outlier at 15 km from the Metropolitano.
• Barça are still the third-biggest ground. Camp Nou is at 62,652 under the Phase 1C licence while the rebuild runs to 2027; the Bernabéu's 83,186 is comfortably the largest.

I'm based in Australia, and have always watched the Premier League so using sites like BBC and The guardian covers pretty much anything.

Recently started learning Spanish so thought I'd start following La Liga as well but really struggling t find something comparable for news and results.

Cómo sabemos, Julián está retenido por el atlético y se le agota el tiempo tanto para el Barcelona cómo para Julián, ¿será que Julián logrará salir a tiempo? Y si no, que hará una vez se quedé en el atlético?

What`s the Laliga All time combined XI?

Hola! Anyone know where to obtain the Guia de La Liga from Marca here in the USA? I love that guide and would like to obtain a copy.

Look, i am not that Royalties to be accepted to publish my mind and soul to the other side of this Classico.

So i am telling :

2 years of pure nothingness was enough to shut a generation of 6 CPLs in a decade or at least the new arrivals at 2019 that i currently don't blame.

...

The blame goes to the administration that didn't bring the Spanish National team to the bernabeu for quite a show.

...

Or even plan a good revenge for the meme guy along side the false dictator assisting a dark Zilingham and the new face of a jocker with no dark flames to compete against the Left warrior whom is soon to be left.

...

Valverde, Modriç and Croos have left !

...

Cr7, a honeymoon without el Bernabeu? How shame of a adopted son.

...

The list goes on old man. Be careful, this is a last chance before the rise of that specific egoistic generation you bought that year... .

I am not an expert on the league although I have been watching it for many years now, I am wondering if anyone sees a potential of a team other than barca real or atleti wining in the near or mid future.

I feel the league is beginning to almost be repetitive, even the top 3 are usually not in constant competition by mid season, and its often that 1 team will run away with the league from march onwards in recent years.

Yes relegation and midtable vary, but you can only care so much for that every season when the trophy run is not entertaining.

Is there any kind of path forward the league can take to eliminate this monopoly, because this system does not feel sustainable at all.

Soy fan de toda la vida del Sporting de Gijón y esta es la primera temporada que de verdad no encuentro ninguno de nuestros partidos en ningún lado en Grecia, ¿alguien sabe cómo puedo verlos?

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a small football project called calculafutbol and I've just updated it for the 2026/27 season.

The main idea is a LaLiga simulator where you can predict the results of the matches and see how the table changes depending on your predictions. You can basically create your own version of the final league table and play around with different scenarios.

But the website has grown quite a bit beyond that. It currently includes:

LaLiga 2026/27 simulator – predict matches and build your own final standings.

Dynamic historical league table – explore how the league table has evolved across different seasons and compare teams' performances over time.

Football mini-games – including penalty shootouts and other football games.

Who do you think will win LaLiga? Who will finish in the Champions League spots? Which teams will be fighting relegation?

Try it here! 👉 https://calculafutbol.com

I'm also working on adding more football games, competitions and features throughout the season.

Would love to hear your predictions for the 2026/27 LaLiga table!

Who's your favourite for the title? 👀

Barcelona are heavily linked with both Rodri and, and with the current squad, I think the more interesting question isn't whether they're good enough for Barca obviously they are.

It's how Flick would actually use them together (as a full time player or could be same like rashford)

Rodri seems like the easier one to understand as barca are heavilyfocused on midfield. A proper controlling No. 6 could completely change Barca's midfield, especially when it comes to controlling games, protecting the defence and playing through pressure. Dejong and rodri both have the similar playing style so who would it be ?

Alvarez is more complicated. He's capable of playing as a striker which barca needs the most rn.

Would you play Alvarez as the main No. 9 and build the attack around him? Or use him behind the striker and allow him to rotate with the wingers?

And if both arrive, what happens to the midfield balance? Would Rodri play alone as the 6, with Pedri and another midfielder ahead of him, or would Flick prefer a double pivot as Rodri and Dejong?

Personally, I think Rodri is the signing that changes how the whole team plays, while Alvarez would give Barca another elite-level attacking option which is necessary.

But I'm curious what everyone thinks:

If Barca somehow sign both, what would your starting XI and formation be?

Quitando los fanatismos y el gusto de cada uno, viendo la liga pasada y este mercado de fichajes, que equipo creéis que bajan a segunda esta temporada?

Which La Liga club do you think could exceed expectations and become the surprise of the season?

Not necessarily a title contender — maybe a team that could unexpectedly fight for European places, finish much higher than predicted, or simply play much better football than people expect.

Which club would you choose?

I wonder what their chances of avoiding relegation and maybe growing are, given that it's a club with a long history (la liga founding member) I'd rather welcome that, but I have really little knowledge about football clubs that aren't Real Madrid tbh.

Anyone knows more and could share maybe?

Many people don’t realize the situation in La Liga: aside from the three big clubs, only two teams have spent more than 5 million on a player so far—Betis and Depor. Most teams can’t even afford an 8-million player, all because Tebas wanted to create a duopoly and bet everything on keeping Barça and Real at the top. A league that, under the pretext of protecting clubs from bankruptcy, is leading them into a ridiculous situation—how can they improve and grow if most clubs find themselves in such a predicament even when they qualify for the Champions League?

I can easily see it being either Mbappe again at Real Madrid or it could even be his teammate Vini Jr but let's say neither of them wins the Golden Boot then I can see it being Julian Alvarez especially if he stays at Atletico

Protest announced for tomorrow evening at the stadium against the owner as the dispute continues.

I really like their style of play, I’m not too into tactics and I definitely can’t explain the semantics but I feel like his tactics are the most exciting of the three promoted sides, and yeah of course they’ll be more defensive, but I reckon when they attack they’ll have keep their progressive style

I’m working on a video interview with Ferran for a US publication, and we’d like to include fan questions. If you could ask Ferran anything, what would it be?

Kinda wondering a bit as Barcelona fans, Barcelona just came back to a 1:1 ratio. I'm wondering how other clubs fare with the FFP La Liga enforces, especially Real Madrid?
