Spanish football has been in the limelight this summer, with the national team winning the European Cup and the national Olympic team winning the Olympic men's football gold medal. Spain not only has an excellent youth training system, but the top three La Liga teams have also made big signings this summer, with Real Madrid signing Mbappe, Atletico Madrid signing Alvarez, and Barcelona signing Olmer, who was selected into the European Cup All-Star Team. The new La Liga season will start this weekend, which is full of expectations.

Alvarez helps Atletico challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona

In the past two seasons, Real Madrid and Barcelona won the La Liga championship respectively. As one of the traditional top three teams in La Liga, Atletico Madrid upgraded its lineup this summer and plans to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona in the new season.

Argentine star Alvarez is one of the most promising new strikers. "Little Spider" was officially announced to join Atletico Madrid from Manchester City late at night on August 12. Atletico Madrid also introduced last season's La Liga Silver Boot winner Solov from Villarreal and Spanish national team's main central defender Lenormand from Real Sociedad. Atletico Madrid center forward Morata, the captain of Spain who won the European Cup, moved to AC Milan. Forward Depay and central defender Hermoso left Atletico Madrid after their contracts expired.

The base transfer fee for Alvarez to join Atletico Madrid was as high as 75 million euros, with an additional 20 million euros in floating part, setting a record for the highest price Manchester City has ever sold a player. In the historical ranking of Atletico Madrid's signings, Alvarez ranks second, only behind Felix.
