In the 2024-25 La Liga season, in the eyes of many people, defending champions Real Madrid are the biggest favorites to win the title. If Ancelotti cannot break the curse of not defending the title in his coaching career, he will definitely lose to his arch-rival Barcelona.

However, some people also reminded: When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. Don’t forget Atletico Madrid!

In terms of investment in signings, Real Madrid spent zero money in the transfer market this summer. Mbappe was signed for free, and Enderique's transfer fee of 47.5 million euros was paid in advance. The sale of two young players, Rafa Marin and Latasa, brought in 14.5 million euros, but the net investment in signings was still negative.

Barcelona spent 55 million euros to introduce Olmo, and the proceeds from selling five young players including Faye were less than 40 million euros, so the net investment in signings reached 15 million euros.

Compared with the "two giants of the Spanish Super League" in the transfer market, Atletico Madrid is very aggressive in the transfer market this summer. It introduced 24-year-old Argentine center Alvarez from Manchester City for 75 million euros, 24-year-old English midfielder Gallagher from Chelsea for 42 million euros, 27-year-old Spanish defender Lenormand from Real Sociedad for 34.5 million euros, and 28-year-old Norwegian forward Sørlot from Villarreal for 32 million euros. The total transfer fee of the four transfers is 183.5 million euros. In addition, it also introduced 29-year-old French defender Lenglet on loan from Barcelona.
