After a two-week break for international competition, club football is back, and the new season of La Liga has already gotten off to an exciting start with a handful of matches.

Atletico Madrid will be visiting Valencia’s stadium on the same day as Athletic Club will be playing against Cadiz. Real Madrid will be playing home to Real Sociedad at the Santiago Bernabeu, but the matchup that appears to have the potential to be the most interesting of the group is the one in which Barcelona faces off against Real Betis.

Due to injury, Ronald Araujo and Pedri, two of the most important players on Xavi’s team, are temporarily out. Even if neither of the two has been named to the squad at this time, there is still a chance that they may take part in the first encounter of the Champions League against Royal Antwerp. The match will take place on October 1.

Ilkay Gundogan was unable to play due to an injury that he sustained during the international break; nevertheless, he was able to make a full recovery in time to participate in this exciting match. Although it is possible that the German may not start the game, it is extremely likely that he will take part in the game in some capacity after being substituted in.

Fermin Lopez, a midfielder for Barcelona Atletico, was given a suspension, but Unai Hernandez, Marc Casado, and the outstanding Lamine Yamal made it from the young team to the main squad.
