Preseason is finally over, and real football returns. For Barcelona and Real Madrid, the two biggest teams and rivals in the world, a title is on the line as the two clubs play two matches in four days for the Spanish Super Cup.
Madrid won La Liga and Barça conquered the Spanish Cup last season, and while Los Blancos also won the UEFA Champions League and come into this match as favorites, it would be silly to take Barça for granted.
The Blaugrana did lose Neymar, but they now have a very promising manager in Ernesto Valverde and still have Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez in the team.
