Which teams will compete in La Liga?

Other than the two aforementioned El Clasico participants, the league will be populated by the likes of Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, and the Copa del Rey winners Real Betis. These teams will be looking for more than to make up the numbers and qualify for Europe

Unai Emery’s Villarreal impressed last season as the former Arsenal manager masterminded wins against Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga; while also knocking out Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final stage.

Joining the top-flight for the season is Almeria who won the second division by the virtue of goal difference on the final day. The team tied with them on points was the interesting case of Real Valladolid who is owned by the original (Brazilian) Ronaldo.

Streaming devices for watching La Liga

Here is a comprehensive list of devices for streaming TV on Optus Sport.

La Liga 2023/24 Preview

Real Madrid is the defending champions having amassed an awesome 86-point tally in the 2021/22 season. Karim Benzema and Vinícius Jr led the way at the front with 66 direct goal contributions on their way to lifting the La Liga trophy. Real Madrid will yet again be a force to be reckoned with as German international, Antonio Rudiger has already been confirmed as an incoming transfer.

The future is uncertain for Barcelona with their finances seemingly still in disarray. Ousmane Dembele and Jordi Alba performed well, but the club is yet to fill the void which Lionel Messi left upon his departure to Paris Saint-Germain; as the club relied on Memphis Depay as he finished as the club’s top league scorer with 12.

Add in our Socceroo boys Mathew Ryan and Awer Mabil who turn out for Real Sociedad and Cadiz respectively, and the 2023/24 La Liga season becomes a competition that is not to be missed for any budding soccer fan in Australia.

Must See La Liga TV: Rivalries and Derbies

There are several key rivalries and must-see matches during the duration of the La Liga season, here’s three of the biggest so you can circle the dates, with each sure to impact the standings before all’s said and done.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid (El Clasico)

The biggest rivalry in Spanish football, El Clasico Derby regularly draws upwards of 80,000 of the most passionate fans in world sport through the gates to see La Liga’s two biggest clubs, Barcelona and Real Madrid, go at it, and with a long and storied history, the game always produces an intense atmosphere. Last season Barcelona claimed victory in both fixtures, meaning we should expect a big backlash from Carlo Ancelotti’s men this year.

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid (Madrid Derby)

The Madrid Derby sees the two teams from the Spanish capital of Madrid face off against one another in a local rivalry that divides the city. Historically, Real Madrid has had a stronghold on the derby – unsurprising considering their league dominance. But Diego Simeone has turned Atletico into a real force, and the red and white half of the city has had a lot more to sing and dance about during recent meetings. The title could very well be decided over these two games this season.

Sevilla vs Real Betis (Seville Derby) 

The Seville Derby, as the name suggests, takes place when the two teams of Seville battle it out in one of Spain’s biggest cities. Sevilla has typically had the better over Real Betis, winning nearly double the number of their meetings. Games between the two sides generally bring close to 50,000 supporters through the gate, with the previous two games at Estadio Benito Villamarin recording crowds comfortably exceeding that number.
