Unseen audience

(actual piece under the cut, Mozart Piano Concerto 23)

It was late evening, the only ray of sunshine entering the room was a subtle line coming from the curtains. Almost close curtains, like the window that let new and fresh air make its way in the room. The moment he saw that line of light in the dim room, a music played in his head. A single piano note, followed by another one and then by another, creating a melody so well known. That melody fascinated him since the first time it reached his hears.

Everything felt immediately calmer that day, like the world was at peace forever. The urge to walk near the piano was strong, so he went and sat, starting to gather the courage to let his finger move on the keyboard. For some reasons, the thought that it was not the right moment to play music was stuck in his head. That melody matched his humor. To pour out his feelings meant to recognize them; there were no coming back from that assessment. Even if the piece he was meant to start was a calm and peaceful melody, nonetheless it concealed a sense of loss, intimacy, and pain. If it came across your mind without thinking about it, it means something, it must, isn’t it? So just start.

With that voiced thought, he started. The first touch, and then, after some time, the second. You know the exact moment when you must press the following key. The flow will tell you. Trust music, become a unicum.

If a moment ago he was reluctant to start playing, there was not any reluctance anymore. It felt liberatory indeed, his finger dancing the purest of all things. How long had he longed to play; but he was simply not aware. The moment finally arrived out of necessity from the deepest of his heart. As he continued to play, he remembered how much he enjoyed playing music. As a kid he just felt amazed by how so many different sounds could come out from the piano, and by the infinite combination of notes that generate beautiful melodies. The act of creating. Shaping. He thought of his cousin, now a Silent Brother, and wished they could play together. No, he wished he was there with him. He wished he had stayed a little more after the attack at the Institute. The sound continued, and it made him realize that he somehow knew that Jem could understand him. He could tell him how he felt at the thought of his sister with a broken heart, how he desperately wanted to be useful, how he felt guilty for everything he had done, actions that made Cordelia reluctant to ask for his help eventually.

He was there, playing alone in the room, silence his only companion. Now he remembered the last time he played in front of people. It was that party organized by that one shadowhunter family, where he showed up late and saw that everyone, his sister included, was quite in high spirit and decided to match the atmosphere. No one would notice my improper aria, he believed, while directing the body toward the piano, except that someone did, and got scolded for that. He smiled at the memory. His mind went to the person who arranged the composition, a piano concerto. From what he could remember, it was composed in occasion of a public event in Wien. There must have been a lot of people. Now, and in general, he did not desire to be surrounded by a particular large audience. For him, to play for someone he held dear, or for someone who simply appreciated music, was everything he could ask for. As soon as he was arriving at the end of the adagio, like before, not a sound but a figure of another person shaped in the back of his mind. There were concerns and sensations toward that person he could not express with words, but the music that came through his fingers from the piano...maybe could alleviate his sorrow. Alastair decided to indulge a little more, and resumed the melody, one more time.

Late in the evening was not the best time to have a walk, or at least not when it was too cold outside. Still, the only thing he felt he could afford doing, without having to feel the heaviness of the countless questions that run thorough his head, was walking. The question was why, declined in a lot of different outcomes. Why things turned out like this when everything seemed to be adjusted. Why did I believe there was a chance? Why did he say it was not possible? Whydidn’t I insist? Why the way he hurts me the most is always with words?

He wanted to talk to him, at the Institute, but the last time he attempted to look at his face he knew better it was not the case, because the sorrow and discomfort around his face told enough of his state that even if he tried to have a conversation, he would have leaved. Not that he did not understand: the worry for his sister and mother probably occupied all his mind. He let got that time, again. He did not encounter him since that day. His walk brought him near the house of that person anyway.

Notes came from the distance. What he heard where timid sounds that seemed to come from far, far away, but which were nearer than one could imagine. Something in the style of that music made it unique, as if the person that was playing was unmistakable. The person’s house was at his sigh, and he came nearer. There was no doubt, it was him playing the piano. The window was slightly open, but he could not see inside because of the curtains. The melody was refined and elegant, so delicate. He thought of Mozart, though her was not sure this was also one of hi pieces. He abandoned himself to the sound of the piano, leaning on a wall near the window, looked up, gazing at the sky. He traveled thanks to that music of his. He saw moments of the past. Alastair standing up at a gathering, looking around, apparently sure of himself, his eyes the only sign to deceive his insecurity. He saw that time when those same eyes softened when they were both standing at the entrance of an estate, making him realize, or convincing him even more, that Alastair was more than what his fellow seemed to consider. He was indeed more, and he wanted more of him. For now, all he could have, was this precious moment. There was a moment, during the flow of the music, he felt like he could hear his voice saying You were everything I could not dare to hope to desire. You accepted me when I thought everything was lost. I am here, listen, I pray you. He let himself indulge in the sound, allow it to enter and warm his heart. For some time, Thomas felt this moment was the right place in the world he had to stay.

By the Angel, you play so well, I would remain hours here, just to listen.

The music ended with an ultimate gentle note, leaving Thomas’s eyes fixed to the sky. It took some minutes for him to recompose, before realizing he had shed tears, now on his cold cheeks. Eventually, they would dry as he resumed walking the street, distancing himself from a place he desperately wished to have a chance to enter.

The Rocket Ship

It's a well-observed fact that the strange ones tend to find one another.

We all have heard of cliques in high school (or even earlier) that, over the course of life, individually discover themselves (and often, then, each other) to be queer, neurodivergent, or some other kind of not-normative. Many of us belonged to them.

This is the story of my friend KV and how we fell into mutual weirdness.

KV and I met for the first time in daycare, just before I aged out at ten years old. They were half a year younger than me, and a grade lower in school. (They, like myself at the time, were not out as nonbinary; I didn't know anyone who used singular they pronouns or who was out as nonbinary, or even what that meant, until I was well into adulthood.)

We were fast friends, possibly because neither of us had bonded particularly well with any of the other kids at daycare. Maybe one or two would acknowledge and chat with us at breakfast, but most of our recreation time was spent just the two of us, playing imaginative games among the playground equipment.

The next year, I aged out of the daycare, and KV aged up into the same middle school I attended. I frequently made time to visit their locker between classes, and we grew closer.

One catalyst for this closeness was a number of musicals we performed in together. The first was a local production of Children of Eden which had open casting for children, and which was being directed by a mutual friend of our families. Both of us were accepted into the production.

As the children's cast for this play was only needed for two scenes or so, there was plenty of time to screw around doing whatever we wanted to do (so long as we were quiet about it). There, one of our playground games solidified into a full-on roleplay of sorts, an unending game in which the two of us took the parts of anthropomorphic cat people sent by a rocket ship from the planet Meowmix in the Eukanuba galaxy, in order to complete a long-term recon mission.

It suited our (to this day undiagnosed, but very much present) autistic traits. What autistic person hasn't at least once felt like a different species, trying to learn the culture and habits of Earth's dominant lifeform? We simply made a canon of it, and developed that canon everywhere.

We even had a secret substitution code, full of words that meant other things. "I'm going to buy a pineapple," they would say, before slipping off to use the restroom.

"I'll keep an eye out for sprinkles," I'd reply, and begin to covertly sweep the area for cops/untrustworthy adults/mall security… for some reason.

It was the sort of game that could truly be an artificial context for anything else.

Mostly, though, it tended to be an artificial context for our profound isolation and loneliness, even if we never dared break character long enough to say so to one another. If our alien characters talked about being misunderstood and missing home, it meant we never had to admit to being estranged from our cohort. I, for my part, didn't even admit to myself what emotions we were loading off onto our game.

Besides, our 'Cat-Human' counterparts had something we did not, when it came to that topic: hope of a return to 'normalcy'.

I could write for hours about our game, and all the fun and weird things we got up to. (For a while, our thing was giving individual nickels [which we called 'engravings of Thomas Jefferson'] to random mall-goers, just for the thrill of human interaction, and to see how they would react. Once, one dude gave us an 'engraving of George Washington' in return, for a profit of 20 cents!)

Instead, though, I'll tell you about the ostensible end of the game.

It was another play we were in together, some two years after the first. Both of us had tried out for middle school 'children's' roles in the high school's yearly musical, and gotten our parts. Mine was a major speaking role; theirs was a chorus part. Even so, I still had few enough scenes that we had time to play in between.

Things went pear-shaped, though, in a way I didn't expect. On the first night of the show, KV was dealing with unexpected and intense stage-fright. I walked onto the backstage floor from the back entrance, and half a dozen other kid actors were surrounding them, trying to talk them down from what I now know was either a panic attack or an autistic meltdown. (Maybe both! Hell knows I sometimes can't tell the difference in my own.)

I told all the other actors to back off and give them some space, and then I moved in to check on them. They were speaking rapidly and almost incoherently about there being too many humans in the audience, and how they weren't ready to be seen. They were talking to me as if still in the game.

And I, twelve-year-old that I was, and in an empathic panic on their account, didn't understand.

I didn't know that they were communicating their emotions about the impending performance in the only way they knew how (that being, through the game we had both used for so long to frame our emotions). I thought they were confusing the game with reality. I thought that they were legitimately convinced they were a humanoid cat alien and that the Earthling audience was dangerous.

And with about twenty seconds to go before our scene, I was pissed. They picked now to play a stupid game?

I snapped on them. "It's not real, KV. You're not a freaking cat person. You're a human, and you already committed to doing this show. No one here is dangerous. There's just you, and you've done plays with a way bigger audience than this, before."

I didn't stop to think that this role was much more intricate than most they had performed before. Or that it was much closer to home, with their father leading the pit orchestra below, and likely with their entire extended family watching. Or any of the other reasons they might have had on this particular night that I couldn't know about. It didn't even occur that I was taking away their last support in the face of sheer panic.

In my opinion at the time, they were just being childish. And I let them know it, as viciously as I could manage in fifteen seconds. Then I pushed them into the lineup, went to my own spot, and seethed.

Really, I thought, how dare they try to use our game as a way to avoid responsibility?

We didn't talk much for a while after that.

Thankfully, it was a short while, and -- somehow; I have no idea how -- we eventually came up with a new game. Somehow -- I have no idea how -- we fell into a solid friendship again, if a slightly more formal one.

After all, we had to hold the fort; both of us were the topic of bitter rumours, usually about our sexualities and what we did with them. (Oddly, despite us both being rumoured to be lesbians, no one ever rumoured that we were together. I suspected it was because of the class year difference, but it's more likely because we each had closer friends that filled the rumour role better.)

At any rate, things moved along, all the way past my graduation from high school. Even then, I frequented the school football games, just to hang around the band, in which they played the saxophone. (This irritated KV’s father, the band director, to no end! haha)

And one night, at a house party one of our mutual friends was hosting, they verbally pulled me aside. We moved to an out-of-the-way porch swing in a darkened corner of the yard. For a while, we just played catch-up; there had been something of a lull in our friendship, just on account of scheduling. And then,

"There’s something I wanted to tell you. I'm a lesbian."

We were both silent for a moment.

"I know," I eventually admitted. Because I did; there had been too many hints for too long. Even beyond just rumour.

This, in retrospect, was a fucking shitty way to respond, but they took it in stride. After another silence, they prodded me further. "And what do you think about that?"

"I think it's a sin. But I still care about you, and this doesn't change my opinion of you."

Again, a shitty thing to say.

"Well," they said. "It's just... how I am."

I really can't overstate how unfailingly kind and polite they were to me, when I very much did not deserve it. Maybe they were trying to salvage the friendship. I don't know for sure. For my part, I just assumed that being gay meant you weren't trying hard enough. After all, I was attracted to girls, too, and I wasn't gay. Right?

Not that I said that to them. We didn't really hang out much after that, and they soon moved away for college.

College, and then the subsequent year and a half spent living away from my family, had an enormous impact on my views toward many things, but sexuality in particular. Eventually, I was able to apologise, some time after I got kicked out of my parents' house for coming out as bisexual. (Surprise!) We discovered at that point that we had both drifted away from Christianity in favor of eclectic paganism.

We've been oddly in step, that way.

When I told them recently that I was nonbinary, they told me that they were as well. Later, when they came to town, we got Mexican food and had a long talk, during which we discovered that we are both neurodivergent, and in some extremely similar ways… which caused us both to drop out of college.

We each finally got a cat, which we'd both been wanting for years.

Halfway through lunch, KV said one of the most weirdly intimate things I've ever had said to me: "If there was anyone on Earth I was drift-compatible with, it'd be you."

It was blown away for a second or so; that's like admitting to a form of soulmatedom. But then… I got it, y'know?

Because, honestly, there's no one I've been more understood by than them, even if we sometimes had to create a new language to make it happen.

I wish I got to see them more frequently. I feel like I can appreciate them now in a way I didn't know how to before. I haven't been the best friend to them; in fact, I've been downright abhorrent at times. But I think I can make it up, now.

MOZARTEUMORCHESTER SALZBURG Y REINHARD GOEBEL

NEW MOZART

Incluye la grabación en primicia mundial de una versión para orquesta de la famosa "Gran Partita" de Mozart por Franz Gleißner. A la venta el 24 de septiembre.

Consíguelo AQUÍ

Con "Nuevo Mozart", el director de orquesta Reinhard Goebel, el "incansable descubridor" (Rondo), muestra una vez más los tesoros que se siguen descubriendo en los archivos musicales: En su nuevo proyecto "Nuevo Mozart" con la Mozarteumorchester de Salzburgo, aborda tesoros musicales que giran en torno a la música de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. El primer álbum ya presenta una grabación en primicia mundial: la versión orquestal de la serenata "Gran Partita" KV 361 de Mozart. La "Gran Partita" para grandes conjuntos de viento y cuerda fue arreglada por el compositor bávaro y experto en Mozart Franz Gleissner (1761-1818) en una versión orquestal y publicada en 1800 como "Sinfonía concertante" Op. 91.

También merece la pena descubrir en "Nuevo Mozart" el raramente grabado Concierto para violín en mi bemol mayor K. 268, atribuido a Mozart. Mientras tanto, es seguro que el Concierto para violín en mi bemol mayor fue escrito por un desconocido contemporáneo de Mozart, a pesar de los numerosos paralelismos musicales con éste. Sea quien sea el verdadero autor, la nueva grabación bajo la dirección de Reinhard Goebel con la violinista Mirijam Contzen como solista es en cualquier caso un enriquecimiento del repertorio, ya que sigue habiendo una falta de atención a los conciertos para violín de los contemporáneos de Mozart. Quienquiera que haya escrito esta obra en vida de Mozart ha conseguido crear un concierto muy exigente en cuanto a la técnica de interpretación y que, al mismo tiempo, brilla con una cualidad que recuerda a Mozart de lejos.

Reinhard Goebel

El Süddeutsche Zeitung lo venera como un "icono de la música antigua", y el New York Times lo aplaude como una "luz en un mar de mediocridad". Reinhard Goebel está especializado en el repertorio de los siglos XVII y XVIII. Es un especialista de renombre mundial en la práctica de la interpretación de la época, tanto para conjuntos de música antigua como para orquestas modernas, y una fuente inagotable de conocimientos sobre las joyas del repertorio. Reinhard Goebel dedica principalmente la temporada 2019/20 a su proyecto de investigación y música de larga duración El mundo de Beethoven. La primera grabación de este proyecto, que presenta Conciertos para violín de Franz Celement, recibió el premio Opus Klassik en 2020.

Mirijam Contzen

La violinista germano-japonesa Mirijam Contzen está muy bien considerada por el mundo musical internacional como solista, músico de cámara, directora de festivales y profesora en el campo del violín. Sus muchos años de intensa colaboración con Reinhard Goebel reflejan su marcado interés por las discusiones interpretativas profundas. Juntos exploran con interminable interés el repertorio olvidado de la época moderna, como los conciertos para violín de Franz Clement, Thomas Linley y Franz Lamotte. En las próximas temporadas Mirijam Contzen actuará con la Orquesta Sinfónica de la WDR, la Deutsche Radio Philharmonie Saarbrücken, la Orquesta Sinfónica de Birmingham, la Orquesta del Festival de Budapest, la Orquesta Sinfónica de Munich y la Orquesta de Cámara de Berna. También es una invitada habitual en festivales de renombre como el Festival de Salzburgo, el Festival de Música de Rheingau y el Festival de Verbier.

Mozarteumorchester de Salzburgo

Con su inconfundible cultura sonora, la Orquesta del Mozarteum se ha convertido en una de las principales orquestas austriacas en los 180 años de su notable historia. En su fundación participaron nada menos que la viuda de Mozart, Constanze, y sus dos hijos. La música del genio de Salzburgo está prácticamente inscrita en el ADN de esta multipremiada orquesta. Recibe el mayor reconocimiento en todo el mundo por sus interpretaciones de Mozart y es tenida en la más alta estima por artistas del más alto calibre. El mejor Mozart - en Salzburgo todo el año

Tại khai mạc hôm nay tại New Delhi trong số 34thứ Đại hội đồng ISO, nhà phát triển tiêu chuẩn quốc tế lớn nhất thế giới, Giáo sư KV Thomas, Bộ trưởng Bộ các vấn đề người tiêu dùng, thực phẩm và phân phối công cộng của Ấn Độ, cho biết: công cụ bảo vệ quyền lợi người tiêu dùng.

ISO bắt đầu hoạt động vào năm 1947 và Ấn Độ, với tư c��ch là thành viên sáng lập, kể từ đó đã cung cấp hai Chủ tịch và Phó Chủ tịch của tổ chức. Đây là lần thứ hai Cục Tiêu chuẩn Ấn Độ (BIS) tổ chức Đại hội đồng ISO. Lần cuối cùng là vào năm 1964, khi ISO có 50 thành viên quốc gia. Ngày nay, tổ chức này là một mạng lưới các viện tiêu chuẩn quốc gia của 163 quốc gia.

Chủ tịch ISO, Tiến sĩ Boris Aleshin, trong bài phát biểu khai mạc nhấn mạnh tầm quan trọng của công việc nhóm liên quan đến những đóng góp của ISO đối với các mục tiêu của một sự kiện quan trọng sắp tới vào năm tới, Rio + 20. Trong số các hoạt động khác, Rio + 20 sẽ xem xét tiến trình phát triển bền vững đã được đưa ra tại Hội nghị thượng đỉnh Trái đất năm 1992. Ông nói: Từ năm 20 năm sau Hội nghị thượng đỉnh Trái đất, ISO có thể chỉ ra rằng đã phát triển nhiều công cụ thiết thực để giúp đỡ quốc tế cộng đồng giải quyết những thách thức của sự bền vững. Đồng thời, vẫn còn rất nhiều điều có thể và đang được thực hiện.

Tiến sĩ Aleshin đã chỉ ra các ví dụ về các tiêu chuẩn ISO được công bố trong những năm gần đây hoặc đang được phát triển nhằm giải quyết các thách thức bền vững khác nhau như trách nhiệm xã hội, thông tin và an ninh xã hội, ứng phó với biến đổi khí hậu, hiệu quả năng lượng và tài nguyên tái tạo, thiết kế và vận hành tòa nhà bền vững, công bằng và mua sắm hợp đồng minh bạch, dịch vụ nước, công nghệ nano, hệ thống giao thông thông minh, quản lý an toàn thực phẩm và tin học y tế.

Trong vài năm tới, ISO sẽ có thể đưa ra các tiêu chuẩn về các chủ đề chính như dấu chân carbon của sản phẩm, quản lý tài sản, tiết kiệm năng lượng, quản lý nhân sự, trạm tiếp nhiên liệu khí tự nhiên cho phương tiện, gia công, an toàn cho các điểm tham quan công viên giải trí, và khí sinh học.

Tóm lại, Tiến sĩ Aleshin cho biết: ISO ISO không phải là tổ chức duy nhất đóng góp cho sự phát triển bền vững. Tuy nhiên, điều làm cho ISO trở nên đặc biệt là đó là nơi mọi người từ doanh nghiệp, chính phủ và xã hội dân sự cùng chung màu sắc và cùng nhau thực hiện các giải pháp toàn cầu, thiết thực cho thách thức toàn cầu đối với hành tinh của chúng ta.

Tổng thư ký ISO, Rob Steele, trong báo cáo của mình trước Đại hội đồng, đã tuyên bố: Bên trong ISO, chúng tôi có một tổ chức với một lịch sử đáng tự hào và một tiềm năng đáng kinh ngạc cho tương lai. Chúng ta cần phản hồi theo cách đơn giản hơn, nhanh hơn và tốt hơn so với trước đây, sử dụng tất cả các kỹ năng, kinh nghiệm và uy tín của tên ISO để đáp ứng nhu cầu của khách hàng của chúng tôi. Chúng ta cần sử dụng bất cứ nguồn lực nào có sẵn để làm điều này và giờ là lúc để làm điều đó.

Trong những năm tới, tôi hy vọng mọi người sẽ có thể chỉ ra Đại hội đồng này như một điểm bùng phát đánh dấu thời điểm ISO di chuyển quyết định để đáp ứng những thách thức toàn cầu và đạt được sứ mệnh và tầm nhìn của tổ chức này.

Đại hội đồng ISO lần thứ 34 đang có sự tham dự của 340 đại biểu đến từ 112 quốc gia thành viên ISO và 10 tổ chức quốc tế hoặc khu vực. Các mục chính trong chương trình nghị sự bao gồm các lợi ích kinh tế của các tiêu chuẩn và truyền đạt những điều này bằng phương tiện truyền thông mới.

Hội nghị diễn ra vào ngày 21 và 23 tháng 9 với phiên mở đặc biệt kéo dài một ngày vào ngày 22 tháng 9 để thảo luận với các đại diện của ngành công nghiệp Ấn Độ về chủ đề, ngành công nghiệp và tiêu chuẩn – Thúc đẩy đổi mới và xây dựng lợi thế cạnh tranh. Chương trình ISO hoàn chỉnh diễn ra trong một tuần với các cuộc họp quản lý liên quan và phiên họp kéo dài một ngày rưỡi dành riêng cho các nước đang phát triển, chiếm hai phần ba số thành viên ISO.

LA LIGA PREVIEW: Here is the lowdown on Barcelona, Real Madrid and rest of top-flight teams

The League may have had a problematic time off the field struggling with selling British TV rights and draw up a full list of competitions, but the action after that returns again tonight.

The summer window in Spain has also raised all sorts of bizarre stories and unexpected twists and there are still a few weeks left with a deadline of 2 September.

The main points of discussion were Atletico Madrid and The legal dispute of Barcelona about Antoine The transfer of Griezmann, the final move of Eden Hazard to Real Madrid Nabil Fekir's shock decision to join Real Betis and Valencia and retain their boss Marcelino Garcia Toral after a turbulent summer.

Although the window remained open, the focus now returns to football and it promises to be one of the most intriguing seasons of recent years.

The race for the title is a call for everyone with Athletic and Real who spend a lot of money to close the gap in Barcelona, while the battle for European places could be between six or seven teams.

There are also some familiar faces with the return of Osasuna, Mallorca and Granada, all of whom hope to beat the drop after having experienced several relegations in recent years.

Prior to the season opener on Friday night when Athletic Bilbao hosted the defender of Barcelona, which ITV announced they would broadcast on Thursday in the UK, Sportsmail give you an in-depth understanding of how each of the 20 sides of the top flight is set and everything you need to know prior to the new campaign.

La Liga returns Friday – can Barcelona retain the title of this campaign?

LA LINKS ON TV IN THE UK

ITV4 show competitions from the opening three weeks of the new season, starting on Friday evening :

Athletic Bilbao v Barcelona – 8:00 pm Friday, August 16

Barcelona v Real Betis – 8:00 pm, Sunday, August 25

Villarreal v Real Madrid – 20:00, Sunday 1 September [1945905]

Athletic BILBAO

Head coach: Gaizka Garitano

Transfers in: Peru Nolaskoain (Bilbao Athletic, promotion), Inigo Vicente (Bilbao Athletic, promotion), Asier Villalibre (Bilbao Athletic, promotion), Gaizka Larrazabal (Bilbao Athletic, promotion)

Transfers from: Mikel Rico (Huesca, free), Alex Remiro (Real Sociedad, free), Xabi Ethxieta (Getafe, free), Sabin Merino (Been anes, free), Other Iturraspe (Espanyol, free), Peru Nolaskoain (Deportivo, loan), Andoni Lopez (Elche, free), Inigo Vicente (Mirandes , loan), Markel Susaeta (released)

Last season: 8th

With such restrictions on the transfer market, Athletic Bilbao always faces a tough fight to improve last season's performance.

Inaki Williams was impressed by last season and will repeat this campaign from his repetitions

Gaizka Garitano recently defended the club's policy of only signing Basque players and said: & # 39; It is different if you play not only for money, not just for victory titles, but also for our sweater, for our values, for our families, friends, it is something special in the world. & # 39;

Bilbao has somehow managed to make ends meet and possess a talented team. After capturing the future of Inaki Williams, who was affiliated with Manchester United this summer, Garitano will hope to be able to deliver European football to a club that has starved of it in recent seasons.

Finish was a huge improvement over the previous campaign, almost degrading them and Gartian will strive to keep pushing Bilbao in the right direction.

Key Man: Inaki Williams

The Spaniard Becomes Bilbao's main scoring threat and will try to pursue his form for the final campaign after placing the best 13 La League season goals.

ATLETICO MADRID

Head Coach: Diego Simeone

Transfers in: Hector Herrera (Porto, free), Ivan Saponjic (Benfica B, £ 450k ), Renan Lodi (Club Athletic Paranaense, £ 18m), Felipe (Porto, 18m), Kieran Trippier (£ 20m, Tottenham), Mario Hermoso (Espanyol, £ 22.5m), Marcos Llor (Real Madrid, £ 27 million), Joao Felix (Benfica, £ 114 million)

Transfers from: Antoine Griezmann (Barcelona, £ 108 million), Lucas Hernandez (Bayern Munich £ 72 million), Rodri (Manchester City , £ 63), Gelson Martins (Monaco, £ 27m), Luciano Vietto (Sporting Lisbon, £ 6.75m), Bernard Mensah (Kayserispor, £ 3.25), Felipe Luis (Flemish, free), Diego Godin (Inter Milan , free), Andre Moreira (Belenenses SAD, free), Juanfran (Sao Paulo, free), Hector Hernandez (CF Fuenlabrada, loan), Nehuen Perez (FC Famalicao, loan), Axel Werner (San Luis, loan), Nicolas Ib anez (San Luis, loan)

Last season: 2nd

Diego Simeone has spent a lot of time this summer and expectations will be high. Joao Felix has attracted attention especially in the preseason and Athletic wants him to play a major role in this campaign to fill the void that Antoine Griezmann has left.

Despite bringing in eight new faces, the concern for Athletic will be that they have also lost some experienced members of their team this summer with people like Diego Godin, Juanfran and Felipe Luis leaving free.

Traditionally a well-oiled machine that prides itself on clean sheets, you can expect more from the same from Athletic, which this summer has reinforced more than anywhere else at the back.

£ 114 million man Joao Felix has had a brilliant preseason season and becomes Atleitco & # 39; s most important player this term

They could also welcome an additional addition through the door as James Rodriguez's protracted move from Real Madrid for the deadline of 2 September would have been completed.

Atletico only had the only trophy to celebrate the final installment after he lifted the European Supercup, but the goal this season will undoubtedly win one of the big winning games.

Key Man: Joao Felix

You can't sign for £ 114 million and don't expect you to be the best dog's club.

After Griezmann's departure, the responsibility for the young Portuguese international lies in his shoes. If something is wrong, he should have no problems.

BARCELONA

Head coach: Ernesto Valverde

[1945902] Transfers in: ] Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid, £ 108 m), Frenkie de Jong (Ajax, £ 67 m), Grandson (Valencia, £ 23 m), Junior Firpo (Real Betis, £ 16 m), Emerson (Atletico Mineiro, £ 10 m), Marc Cucurella (Eibar, £ 3 million), Moussa Wague (Barcelona B , free)

Transfers from: Malcolm (Zenit, £ 36m), Jasper Cillessen (Valencia, 31m), Andre Gomes (Everton, £ 22m), Paco Alcacer (Borussia Dortmund, £ 19 m), Denis Suarez (Celtic Vigo, £ 11 m), Emerson (Real Betis, £ 5 m), Marc Cardona (Osasuna, £ 2 m), Segi Palencia (Saint-Etienne, £ 1.8 million), Thomas Vermaelen (Vissel Kobe, free), Douglas (Besiktas, free), Adrian Ortola (Tenerife, free), Marc Cucurella (Getafe, loan)

Last season: 1st

It's fair to say that Barcelona is in front and in the mid den has stood as the co me to the greatest stories of the transfer window this summer. After finally capturing Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid in a £ 108 million controversial deal, the Catalan giants still don't look like they are stopping to end Neymar & # 39; s sensational return to the Nou Camp.

Who else would be the most important man of Barcelona than the unstoppable Lionel Messi

But as you look past the drama, Ernesto Valverde has quietly enjoyed a good window. The Barcelona boss has added depth to the full back with the addition of Junior Firpo from Real Betis, while Grandson is replacing Jasper Cillessen, as Marc-Andre Stegen & # 39; s understudy has a goal.

So far, Frenkie de Jong looks like he has played his entire career in Barcelona and is seamlessly integrated. However, their preparations for the season took a knock when Lionel Messi sustained a minor injury during training just days after returning, so Valverde will hope and get his talisman back as soon as possible.

Key man: Lionel Messi

Who else?

Even if Neymar returned this summer, Barcelona will continue to rely on the little Argentinian who will ridiculously give you 30-50 goals in all competitions.

CELTA VIGO

Head coach: Fran Scribe

Transfers in: Ivan Villar (Celtic Vigo B, promotion), Jorge Saenz (Valencia, loan), Santi Mina (Valencia, free), Joseph Aidoo (Genk, £ 7.2 million), Denis Suarez (Barcelona, £ 11.6 million)

Transfers from: Dennis Eckert (released), Nemanja Radoja (released), Robert Mazan (CD Tenerife, loan), Gustavo Cabral (Pachucha, free), Facundo Roncaglia (Osasuna, £ 225k), Andrew Hjulsager (KV Oostende, £ 450k), Emre Mor (Galatasaray, loan fee £ 540k), Mathias Jensen (Brentford, £ 3.42 m), Maxi Gomez (Valencia, £ 13 m)

Last season: 17th

Celtic Vigo cam dangerously close to dropping last season and only a disaster averted after an inspiring second half of the season.

They may not be one of the favorites to go down, but Vigo can have a hard time again during this period. Maxi Gomez, who scored 13 important goals in La Liga last season, will be a big miss.

The Uruguayan played an important role in beating the drop but left earlier this summer for only £ 13 million to Valencia. Denis Suarez is a solid asset, but the Spaniard has found it hard to find his best shape and stay fit in recent years.

If he can reach the level he is capable of, there is no doubt that he will be a big player for them. But it is in attack where you fear that Vigo can be exposed. They lack firepower and the pressure will lie on the aging of Iago Aspas to deliver an abundance of goals again this time.

Key Man: Iago Aspas

Yes, he is still around and still popping targets for Celta Vigo. Only the 20 goals for him last season. There is no doubt that Vigo's hope will be on the Spaniard. But at the age of 32 it will become clear whether he can stay fit or not.

Iago Aspas is the go-to man of Celta Vigo, hoping that Denis Suarez can have the real impact

ALAVES

Head Coach: Asier Garitano

Transfers in: Lucas Perez (West Ham, £ 2.07 m, Joselu (Newcastle, £ 2.02 m), Ramon Mierez (Tiger, £ 2.01 m), Luis Rioja (Almeria, £ 1.8 m), Saul Garcia (Deportivo La Coruna, free) ), Tachi (Atletico Madri d B, free), Aleix Vidal (Seville, loan)

Transfers from: Antonio Cristian (Fuenlabrada, free), Carlos Vigaray (Real Zaragoza, free)

Last season: 11th

For a previous season it turned out that Milds would cause a shock by finishing in the top four.

However, a disappointing conclusion of the campaign meant that she ended up at the mid-table, and they now have a new coach at the helm in Asier Garitano, who replaces Abelardo.

Many of Alaves & # 39; s most important campaigns were only on loan to the club, and people like Takashi Inui, Borja Baston and Jonathan Calleri have all left.

Alaves responded by bringing in two attackers who were struggling to make a big impact in the Premier League – Lucas Perez and Joselu. They also loaned Aleix Vidal, previously from Barcelona, to Seville.

It may turn out to be a difficult season for Alaves, with much depending on whether their new strikers can run to the ground.

Key Man: Lucas Perez

Perez collected only four league goals in his spells in England with Arsenal and West Ham.

The 30-year-old, however, will have great expectation to impress Alaves when he returns to La Liga.

During a loan period with Deportivo La Coruna two seasons ago, Perez scored nine times in La Liga, and he will try to improve that number because he wants to play a major role for Alaves.

Lucas Perez struggled a major to make impact for Alaves

EIBAR

Head coach: Jose Luis Mendilibar

Transfers in : Edu Exposito (Deportivo La Coruna, £ 3.6 m), Quique (Deportivo La Coruna, £ 2.97 m), Pedro Bigas (Las Palmas, £ 2.7 m), Roberto Alabe (Atletico Madrid B, £ 2.52 m, Takashi Inui (Real Betis, £ 1.8 million), Esteban Burgos (Alcorcon, free), Roberto Correa (Cadiz, free), Alvaro Tejero (Real Madrid), Asier Benito (Bilbao) Athlet ic, free), Ruben Lobato (Oviedo Vetusta, free)

Transfers from: Joan Jordan (Sevilla, £ 12 m), Ruben Pena (Villarreal, £ 7.2 m), Marc Cucurella (Barcelona, £ 3.6 m), Pablo Hervias (Real Valladolid, £ 900,000), Pere Milla (Elche, free), Unai Elgezabal (Alcorcon, free), Jose Antonio Martinez (Granada, loan), Asier Benito (Ponferradina, loan), Roberto Olabe (Albacete, loan), Nano (Cadiz, loan)

Last season: 12th

Eibar has become somewhat predictable, with last season they returned to the midtable end.

A 12th place followed by 9th place and 10th in the previous two campaigns, with the expectation that they will end up in a similar position again this time.

The departure of midfielder Joan Jordan is a blow, but Edu Exposito, who became a member of Deportivo La Coruna, should be able to tuck in quickly.

Experienced coach Jose Luis Mendilibar remains in charge and his side must be able to easily avoid relegation.

Key Man: Charles

He is perhaps 35 years old, but Charles was very impressive for Eibar last season, as he scored 14 goals in La Liga.

Eibar will hope that the attacker can continue to find the net for at least one more campaign.

]

Charles may not be younger, but he still knows always where the back of the net is

ESPANYOL

Head coach: David Gallego

[1945902] Transfers in: Matias Vargas (Velez Sarsfield), £ 9.45 million), Fernando Calero (Real Valladolid, £ 7.2 million), Other Iturraspe (Athletic Bilbao, free), Andres Prieto (Leganes, free), Bernardo Espinosa (Girona, loan)

Transfers from: Mario Hermoso (Atletico Madrid, £ 22.5 m), Aaron Martin (Mainz, 5.4 m), Hernan Perez (Al Ahli , free), Roberto (West Ham, free), Alvaro Vazquez (Sporting Gijon, free), Oscar Duarte (free)

Last season: 7th

Espanyol did quite well last season because they finished in seventh place in La Liga and earned a place in the Europa League qualifiers.

However, the departments of some important players in the summer can hit the club hard.

Mario Hermoso, for example, joined Atletico Madrid, and as a result Espanyol can be considerably less resilient at the rear.

In addition, if they eventually make progress in the Europa League, this may prove to be a hindrance to their domestic form, with manager David Gallego, who has replaced Ruby, facing a difficult task.

Key Man: Marc Roca

Roca, a product of Espanyol & # 39; s academy, delivered a number of consistent performances last season.

This campaign, with several players going further, the defensive midfielder may have more difficulty taking responsibility if Espanyol appears to be enjoying an impressive campaign.

Roca was connected to Bayern Munich earlier this summer, but chose to stay with Espanyol. If he continues to perform at such a high level, he will certainly not be long before there is more speculation about his future.

Highly regarded midfielder Marc Roca could be a crucial figure for Espanyol this campaign

GETAFE

Head coach: Jose Bordalas

Transfers in: Enric Gallego (Huesca , £ 5.4m, Faycal Fajr (Caen, £ 1.35 million), Jack Harper (Malaga, £ 1.35 million), Raul Garcia (Girona, free), Xabi Etxeita (Athletic Bilbao), Marc Cucurella ( Barcelona, loan), Allan Nyom (West Bromwich Albion), not disclosed

Trans fers from: Roberto Ibanez (Osasuna, £ 1.8 m), Jack Harper (Alcorcon, loan), Gaku Shibasaki (Deportivo La Coruna, free), Alvaro Jimenez (Albacete, loan), Miguel Rubio (Fuenlabrada, loan ), Ignasi Miquel (Girona, loan), Mathieu Flamini (released), Chuli (released)

Last season: 5th

Getafe got a place in the Europa League group stage after being on last season fifth place in La Liga ended

They want to push this campaign even further and have designs to reach the top 4.

Coach Jose Bordalas will have to manage his team carefully so that his most important players do not get too exhausted by the Europa League.

However, Getafe has a talented team and is unlikely to be pushovers when confronted with La Liga & # 39; s leading lights.

Key Man: Jorge Molina

Molina was a key factor behind much of Getafe & # 39; s impressive displays last season, as evidenced by the fact that he scored 14 goals in La Liga.

The sharp shooter managed to achieve 62 percent of his effo rts on goal, because he caused numerous problems for the defense.

Even at the age of 37 he has shown no signs of delay and this campaign will be fruitful again.

The 37-year-old Jorge Molina was impressive last season and will want to be in again catch the eye

GRANADA

Head Coach: Diego Martinez

[1945902] Transfers in: Darwin Machis (Udinese, £ 2.7 million), Domingos Duarte (Sporting Lisbon, £ 2.7 million), Yan Brice (Seville, £ 900,000), Fede Vico (Leganes, £ 225,000), Roberto Soldier (Fenerbahce, free), Neyder Lozano (Elche , free), Yangel Herrera (Manchester City, loan), Jose Antonio Martinez (Eibar, loan)

Transfers from: Adrian Castellano (Numancia, £ 270,000), Sergio Pena (FC Emmen, free), Pablo Vazquez (Badajoz CD, free), Jose Antonio Gonzalez (Cordoba, loan), Alberto Martin (released), Fran Rico (released), Nicolas Aguirre (released), Raul Baena (released)

Last season: 2nd, Second Division

One of the newly promoted games, Grenada returned to La Liga after two seasons.

They hope to get it sooner than their last top flight campaign, when they ended up at the bottom of the table.

In particular, there have not been many large departments from Granada this summer, and coach Diego Martinez has earned a lot of praise.

However, it will still be very difficult for his party to prevent him from leaving immediately.

Key Man: Roberto Soldado

Former Spanish striker soldier accompanied Granada this summer for a free transfer after his departure from Fenerbahce.

With a lot of La Liga experience, the 34-year-old will be trusted this season by Granada.

Last season, Soldaat scored six league goals in 21 games for Fenerbahce, but he hopes he will be able to score more often for Granada.

Roberto Soldier will are excited to impress Granada after joining the club on a free transfer

Leganes [1945904]

Head coach: Mauricio Pellegrino

Transfers in: Martin Braithwaite (Middlesbrough, not disclosed), Juan Soriano (Sevilla, loan), Aitor Ruibal (Real Betis, loan), Aitor Ruibal (Port B, not disclosed), Andre Grandi (Madrid International , free), Sabin Merino (Athletic Bilbao, free), Alex Martin (Real Madrid Castilla, free), Roberto Rosales (Malaga, £ 1.08 million), Juan Munoz (AD Alcorcon, £ 1.35 million), Jonathan Silva (Sporting Lisbon, £ 2.7 million), Kenneth Omeruo (Chelsea, £ 4 Million)

Transfers from: Mamadou Kone (Deportivo de La Coruna, loan), Dani Ojeda (Albacete, loan)), Andres Prieto (Espanyol, free), Ezequiel Munoz ( Lanus, free), Nabil El Zhar (Al Ahli Sports Club, free), Fede Vico (Granada CF, £ 225k), Gerard Gumbau (Girona, £ 450k), Luciano (Gremio, 900k)

Last season: 13th

Now starting their fourth consecutive campaign in La Liga, Leganes wants to build on last season when they finish 13th – their highest position ever.

They made the news in September by beating Barcelona 3-1 and moved permanently to Martin Braithwaite after being impressed during a loan period.

season it would not be surprising if Leganes ended up at the mid-table again. However, they have a difficult start because they host Atletico Madrid.

Keyman: Youssef En-Nesyri

He played a crucial role for Leganes last season and scored nine goals in La Liga.

That led to interest in the Moroccan from a large number of clubs, including Brighton.

Leganes rejected an offer of £ 18 million from the seagulls, leaving En-Nesyri frustrated and whether he remains interesting to see if the commitments of the 22-year-old remain the same.

Youssef En-Nesyri was the subject of interest from Brighton after an impressive season

Levante

Head coach: Paco Lopez

Transfers in: Ruben Vezo (Valencia, £ 4.5 m), Sergio Leon ( Real Betis, £ 3.6 m, Gonzalo Melero (SD Huesca, £ 3.2 m), Carlos Clerc (Osasuna, free), Oscar Duarte (Espanyol, free), Jorge Miramon (SD Huesca, free), Hernani ( Postage free, Borja Mayoral (Real Madrid loan)

Transfers from: Ruben Garcia (Osasuna, £ 2.7m), Chema (Nottingham Forest, 450k), Esteban Saveljich (Rayo Vallecano, £ 270k), Pedro Lopez (SD Huesca, free), Jason (Valencia, free), Pepulu (Tondela, loan), Ivi Lopez (SD Huesca, loan), Raphael Dwamena (Real Zaragoza , loan), Koke (Deportivo, loan)

Last season: 15th

Get up with a jumble of the season, but will bring some confidence in the season after relegating Majorca rivals in their last friendly match have been defeated. It will be important that they start quickly with matches against Real Madrid and Real Betis that come within the first month.

They comfortably defeated the drop last season, kept floating seven points and will come out to maintain their position in the top flight.

Ze hebben wat opwindend talent, met name aan de bovenkant van het veld en zouden genoeg moeten hebben om de prestatie van vorig seizoen om op te blijven herhalen.

Key man: Roger Marti

13 De competitiedoelen zijn voor iedereen een behoorlijke terugkeer, maar het feit dat Marti zo vaak in een worstelend team de achterkant van het net heeft weten te vinden, maakt het nog indrukwekkender.

Levante genoeg over hen om punten te verzamelen, zelfs Marti schiet niet, maar als de 28-jarige vorm kan vinden zoals vorig seizoen, moeten ze weer veilig zijn.

Roger Marti wordt beschouwd als de belangrijkste speler van Stand-up na zijn overvloed aan doelpunten

RCD Mallorca

Hoofdcoach: Vicente Moreno

Transfers in: Lumor (Sporting Lissabon, lening), Aleksandar Sedlar (Piast Gliwice, gratis), Josep Sene (Leonese Cultural, gratis), Alex Joy (Real Betis, gratis), Aleksandar Trajkovski (Palermo, gratis), Aleix Febas (Real Madrid Castilla, gratis), Pablo Chavarria (Stade Reims, gratis), Igor Zlatanovic (Radnik, £ 1,17 m), Martin Valjent (Chiev o, £ 1,35 m), Ante Budimir (Crotone, £ 1,98 m)

Transfers uit: Carlos Castro (CD Lugo, lening), Sergio Buenacasa (SD Ponferradina, lening), Enzo Lombardo (Racing Santander, lening), Pablo Valcarce (SD Ponferradina, lening), Bryan Reyna (Barakaldo CF, lening), Stoichkov (Alcorcon , lening), Franco Russo (SD Ponferradina, lening), Alex Lopez (Extremadura, lening), Salva Ruiz (Valencia, gratis), Fernando Cano (Lleida Esportiu, gratis), Alvaro Bustos (Pontevedra, gratis), Leandro Montagud (Cultureel Leoness, gratis), Pol Roige (GIF Sundsvall, gratis), Alejandro Faurlin (Marbella FC, gratis)

Vorig seizoen: 5e, tweede divisie

Overal boven de onderste drie wil van Mallorca this season just to restore some normality.

Lago Junior will be La Liga new boys Mallorca's biggest scoring threat

In the last three seasons they have been relegated, then promoted and promoted again.

They came up via the play-offs, but unlike in the Championship, it is far from the richest game in football, so Mallorca have had to operate on a shoestring budget this summer.

It's going to be a real struggle for them, but the fact they lost the first play-off leg 2-0 and won the second leg 3-0 to secure promotion suggests they have the mettle to at least put up a good fight.

Key man: Lago Junior

Any side that has just gone up into a new league has to rely on a striker grabbing them enough goals to win matches.

That responsibility for Mallorca falls firmly on the shoulders of Lago Junior this season. He was their top scorer last term, netting 11 times in the league.

The jump to La Liga is a big one, but Mallorca will hope Junior is up for the test and can come close to his tally last campaign.

Osasuna

Head coach: Jagoba Arrasate

Transfers in: Pervis Estupinan (Watford U23s, loan), Raul Navas (Real Sociedad, loan), Jaume Grau (Real Madrid Castilla, free), Adrian Lopez (FC Porto, free), Facundo Roncaglia (Celta Vigo, £225k), Darko Brasanac (Real Betis, £900k), Brandon (Stade Rennais FC, £1.8m), Robert Ibanez (Getafe, £1.8m), Marc Cardona (Barcelona, £2.25m), Chimy Avila (San Lorenzo, £2.43m), Ruben Garcia (Levante, £2.7m)

Transfers out: David Rodriguez (released), Xisco (released), Miguel Olavide (released), Jaume Grau (CD Lugo, loan), Miguel Diaz (CD Tudelano, free), Carlos Clerc (Levante, free), Imanol Garcia (Cordoba, fr ee)

Last season: 1st, Segunda Division

Osasuna raced away to win the Spanish second division and bounce back to La Liga at the first time of asking.

But this season will be very different. They will not experience the winning feeling as often as they did in the Segunda and they must be prepared for that.

Osasuna have been a yo-yo club since their relegation from the top-flight in the 2013-14 season and will be eager to take this opportunity to re-establish themselves as a La Liga club.

First season, just stay up by any means necessary, that will be the goal.

Chimy Avila has a big role to play for Osasuna after proving himself in La Liga last season

Key man: Chimy Avila

Avila was a very smart buy by the La Liga new boys.

The midfielder scored some eye-catching goals last season during his loan spell at Huesca and his overall play is neat and tidy.

He bagged an impressive 10 goals last time around and will be key to Osasuna's chances of survival.

Real Betis

Head coach: Rubi

Transfers in: Borja Iglesias (Espanyol, £25m), Giovani Lo Celso (PSG, £20m), Nabil Fekir (Lyon, £20m), Juanmi (Real Sociedad, £7m), Emerson (Barcelona, £5m), Dani Martin (Sporting Gijon, £4.5m), Alfonso Pedraza (Villarreal, loan)

Transfers out: Pau Lopez (Roma, £21m), Junior Firpo (Barcelona, £16m), Giovani Lo Celso (Tottenham, loan fee: £14.5m), Sergio Leon (Levante, £3.5m), Ryad Boudebouz (Saint Etienne, £3m), Takashi Inui (Eibar, £2m), Victor Camarasa (Crystal Palace, loan), Darko Brasanac (Osasuna, £900,000), Alin Tosca (Gazisehir, free), Alex Alegria (Mallo rca, free), Aitor Ruibal (Leganes, loan), Julio Gracia (Badajoz, loan), Liberto Beltran (Lleida Esportiu, loan)

Last season: 10th

A side with real potential that at times showed just what they were capable of last season.

Betis had a care-free and attractive style of playing but the core of their side has been cut up this summer.

Pau Lopez, Junior Firpo and Giovani Lo Celso, who was instrumental in midfield last term, have all gone on to bigger and brighter things, but you can't help but wonder had Betis kept hold of them that they could have made a real push to break the top six.

As it happens, that is not the case. Fans will be however be delighted by the capture of Nabil Fekir, who decided to join from Lyon despite seemingly having a number of more appealing offers.

Borja Iglesias was prolific for Espanyol last season too, so his signing will add further firepower to their goalscoring threat. The ambition will be to finish in those European places. Whether they can do it or not is another thing entirely.

Key man: Nabil Fekir

It will be interesting to see how the Frenchman takes to La Liga.

Fekir has only ever played in France, so it will be a challenge for him to adapt to his new surroundings. If he can be even half the player he was at Lyon then Betis have got a gem.

He scored a shed load during his time at Lyon and assisted almost just as much for his team-mates. The 26-year-old is Betis' most talented player and will revel in being the star man and their focal point of attack.

The arrivals of Nabil Fekir (L) and Borja Iglesias (R) adds significant firepower to Betis' attack

Real Madrid

Head coach: Zinedine Zidane

Transfers in: Eden Hazard (Chelsea, £150m), Luka Jovic (F rankfurt, £54m), Eder Militao (Porto, £45m), Ferland Mendy (Lyon, £49m), Rodrygo (Santos, £40m), Alberto Soro (Real Zaragoza, £2m), Luca Zidane (Real Madrid Castilla, free), Javi Sanchez (Real Madrid Castilla, free), Jorge de Frutos (Real Madrid Castilla, free)

Transfers out: Mateo Kovacic (Chelsea, £40m), Marcos Llorente (Atletico Madrid, £27m), Raul de Tomas (Benfica, £18m), Theo Hernandez (AC Milan, £18m), Jesus Vallejo (Wolves, loan), Alberto Soro (Real Zaragoza, loan), Martin Odegaard (Real Sociedad, loan), Dani Ceballos (Arsenal, loan), Borja Mayoral (Levante, loan), Jorge de Frutos (Real Valladolid, loan), Sergio Reguilon (Sevilla, loan), Javi Sanchez (Real Valladolid, loan), Andriy Lunin (Real Valladolid, loan), Luca Zidane (Racing, loan )

Last season: 3rd

It all looked so promising for Real Madrid at the start of the summer window as Zinedine Zidane looked to get all of his transfer business done and dusted ahead of the new campaign. Real brought in Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic and Ferland Mendy in what looked to be the new era of Galaticos.

However, their pre-season came tumbling down in an instant when they were truly humbled by a new-look Atletico Madrid side in America. There were complaints that Hazard had packed on the pounds while Real's aging midfield continued to be a thorn in Zidane's side.

The Frenchman is still desperate to bring in Paul Pogba but Manchester United's valuation of the World Cup winner looks to have killed any potential move.

The Spanish giants have often looked disjointed and out of sorts during pre-season and even Marca have stated that the idea of Real winning a trophy this season is 'farcical'. While keeping that in mind, you'd expect Real to challenge Barcelona and Atletico for the league this season given the amount they've shelled out this summer.

Key man: Eden Hazard

Brought in for a deal worth up to £150million, Hazard will be that go-to player whether he starts out on the left or in the No 10 position behind Benzema. Zidane will need to drum out that 'unselfish' characteristic Hazard possesses if he's going to become a goal-machine for Los Blancos.

Real Madrid will expect a lot from Eden Hazard this season after becoming their record signing

Real Sociedad

Head coach: Imanol Alguacil

Transfers In: Alex Sola (Real Sociedad B, promotion), Robin Le Normand (Real Sociedad B, promotion), Aihen Munoz (Real Sociedad B, promotion), Andoni Zubiaurre (Real Sociedad B, promotion), Ander Barrenetxea (Real Sociedad B, promotion), Ander Guevara (Real Sociedad B, promotion), Martin Odegaard (Real Madrid, loan), Alex Remiro (Athletic Bilbao, free) Modibo Sagnan (Lens, £4.05m), Alexander Isak (Borussia Do rtmund, £5.85m), Portu (Girona, £9m)

Transfers Out: Alex Sola (Numancia, loan), Jon Guridi (Mirandes, loan), Martin Merquelanz (Mirandes, loan), Jon Bautista (KAS Eupen, loan), Hector Moreno (Al Gharafa Sports Club, free), Eneko Capilla (Asteras Tripolis, free), Geronimo Rulli (Montpellier, £1.35m loan fee), Juanmi (Real Betis, £7.2m)

Last season: 9th

There will be a notable change for Sociedad this season, with the renovation of their Anoeta Stadium set to be completed.

A major plus for the club this summer was retaining the services of wingers Mikel Oyarzabal.

However, the departure of defender Hector Moreno, among others, could prove to be problematic.

Key man: Mikel Oyarzabal

There was much speculation about Oyarzabal's future this summer, with Manchester City among the clubs to have been linked with him.

However, the winger ended up staying at Sociedad and will be seeking to build upon a hugely impressive 2018-19 campaign, when he scored 14 goals and provided four assists in La Liga.

This season Sociedad are set to again be heavily reliant upon the 22-year-old.

Real Valladolid

Head coach: Sergio

Transfers in: Javi Sanchez (Real Madrid, loan), Jorge de Frutos (Real Madrid, loan), Pedro Porro (Manchester City, loan), Sandro Ramirez (Everton, loan), Andriy Lunin (Real Madrid, loan), Federico Barba (Chievo, loan), Pablo Hervias (Eibar, £900k)

Transfers out: Moises Delgado (Racing Santander, loan), Antonio Dominguez (Algeciras CF, free), Fernando Calero (Espanyol, 7.2m)

Last season: 16th

Ronaldo may have splashed out to purchase a majority share in the club last season, but the former Brazil star's wallet has remained firmly shut this summer.

Despite last season's struggles to beat the drop, Pablo Herbvias has been the club's only permanent signing, moving from Eibar for £900k.

The loan signing of Sandro Ramirez however could prove to be a great piece of business. He may have flopped at Everton and failed at Real Sociedad last season, but the Barcelona academy product has proven he can score regularly in La Liga, having netted 14 times for Malaga in the 2016-17 campaign.

Having scored the least amount of goals last season (32), Sandro's acquisition provides Valladolid's attack with the firepower it has so desperately been lacking. Fernando Calero will be a big loss for them though after the talented defender joined Espanyol. Just staying up will be the goal this season.

Key man: Sandro Ramirez

The pressure will fully be on Sandro Ramirez to score goals this season.

His confidence will be at an all-time low after failing to score a single league goal in 24 games at Real Sociedad last season, but if he can recapture his best form, he could have a sole impact on where Vallodolid end up this term.

Sandro Ramirez has struggled for form but can play a big part in Real Vallodolid's survival bid

Sevilla

Head coach: Julen Lopetegui

Transfers in: Rony Lopes (Monaco, £22.5m), Jules Kounde (Bordeaux, £22.5m), Lucas Ocampos (Marseille, £13.5M), Diego Carlos (Nantes, £13.5m), Munas Dabbur (RB Salzburg, (£13.5m), Joan Jordan (Eibar, £12.6m), Luuk de Jong (PSV, £11.25m), Oliver Torres (Porto, £10.8m), Fernando (Galatasaray, £4.05m), Nemanja Gudelj (Evergrande, free), Sergio Reguilon (Real Madrid, loan).

Transfers out: Wissam Ben Yedder (Monaco, £36m), Pablo Sarabia (PSG, £16.2m), Quincy Promes (Ajax, £14.13m), Luis Muriel (Atalanta, £13.5m), Yan Brice (Granada, £900k), Gabriel Mercado (Al Rayyan, free), Marc Gual (Girona, loan), Giorgi Aburjania (Twente, loan), Ibrahim Amadou (Norwich, loan), Carlos Fernandez (Granada, loan), Juan Soriano (Leganes, loan), Aleix Vidal (Alaves, loan).

Last season: 6th

Big things are expected at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium this season with a new manager in place and £100m spent on new talent.

Sevilla's biggest summer signing Rony Lopes can shine for them in La Liga this season

Returning director Monchi has got straight down to work with 11 new signings to help Julen Lopetegui rebuild his reputation after quitting as Spain manager on the eve of the World Cup for a disastrous spell with Real Madrid.

The Spaniard faces the task of getting the new-look side to gel together as quickly as possible but improving on last year's sixth-placed finish should be achievable.

Key man: Rony Lopes

The attacking midfielder will be desperate to b anish the though ts of last season's nightmare with Monaco and begin a new chapter at Sevilla.

Two years ago, Lopes was linked with just about every major club in Europe after banging in 15 goals. Last season he managed just the four as Monaco narrowly escaped relegation.

Sevilla have clearly seen something in Lopes to splash out £22.5m off the back of such a disappointing campaign and will look to him to be their creative spark this term. A cultured midfielder who is great on the ball, can pick out a pass and has an eye for an goal, he possesses all the attributes to shine in this league.

Valencia

Head coach: Marcelino García Toral

Transfers in: Jasper Cillessen (Barcelona, £31m), Maxi Gomez (Celta Vigo, £13m), Denis Cheryshev (Villarreal, £5m), Manu Vallejo (Cadiz, £5m), Jorge Saenz (Tenerife, £2m), Salva Ruiz (Mallorca, free), Alex Carbonell (Cordoba, free), Jason (Levante, free), Eliaquim Mangala (Manchester City, free), Jaume Costa (Villarreal, loan)

Transfers out: Neto (Barcelona, £23m), Simone Zaza (Torino, £11m), Ruben Vezo (Levante, £4.5m), Jeison Murillo (Sampdoria, loan), Nacho Gil (Ponferradina, free), Aymen Abdennour (Kayserispor, free), Jorge Saenz (Celta Vigo, loan), Santi Mina (Celta Vigo, free), Alex Blanco (Real Zaragoza, loan), Toni Lato (PSV, loan), Uros Racic (Famalicao, l oan), Alex Carbonell (Fortuna Sittard, loan)

Last season: 4th

Valencia survived a turbulent summer which saw the futures of general manager Mateu Alemany and head coach Marcelino Garcia Toral almost leave the club.

Alemany appeared ready to walk away from Valencia and Marcelino vowed he would follow him through the exit doors if he did, but the latter had a change of heart and the two have remained.

Keeping hold of Marcelino was a huge coup for Valencia, considering he led them to a Champions League spot and Copa del Rey glory last term – the club's first trophy since 2008.

Having achieved so much, it will be difficult for Valencia to maintain the high standard, but they have invested well, bringing in the likes of Jasper Cillessen, Maxi Gomez and Denis Cheryshev. A top-four finish will be the expectation.

Keeping hold of their head coach Marcelino was a huge coup for Valencia this summer

Key man: Goncalo Guedes

There's no doubt that Guedes possesses the potential to be a big hitter in La Liga. Since joining Valencia from Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, he has shown glimpses of a world class player but has not performed on a consistent basis.

You can't help but think that this could be the season he finally announces himself as a top player in the league.

There will be less pressure on him to score goals regularly following Gomez's arrival and he is expected to be given a new licence of freedom in an attacking role behind the main striker, which he could really flourish in.

Villarreal

Head coach: Javier Calleja

Transfers in: Ruben Pena (Eibar, £7.2m), Raul Albiol (Napoli, £4.5m), Moi Gomez (Sporting Gijon, £1.2m), Alberto Moreno (Liverpool, free), Andre Zambo Anguissa (Fulham, loan), Enric Franquesa (Villarreal B, promotion), Xavi Quintilla (Villarreal B, promotion), Simon Moreno (Villarreal B, promotion)

Transfers out: Pablo Fornals (West Ham, £24m), Nicola Sansone (Bologna, £6.75m), Roberto Soriano (Bologna, 6.75m), Denis Cheryshev (Valencia, £5.4m), Ruben Semedo (£4m, Olympiacos), Victor Ruiz (Besiktas, £2.25m), Javi Fuego (Sporting Gijon, free), Juan Ibiza (UD Almeria, free), Alvaro Gonzalez (Marseille, loan), Simon Moreno (UD Almeria, loan), Miguelon (SD Huesca, loan), Enric Franquesa (CD Mirandes, loan), Jaume Costa (Valencia, loan), Alfonso Pedraza (Real Betis, loan), Daniel Raba (SD Huesca, loan)

Last season: 14th

Given the talent in the squad, there can be no arguments that last season fell way below expectations.

Although it could have been much worse with Villarreal staring relegation in the face at one point. A strong finish to the season saw them finish comfortably in 14th in the end.

It will be tall ask for them to better that this time around after losing key players such as Pablo Fornals and Denis Cheryshev in the summer window but it would be foolish to label them as mid-table languishers just yet.

They have some highly-rated prospects in Samuel Chukwueze and Santiago Caseres and will have genuine ambitions to crack the top 10.

Key man: Santi Cazorla

You've seen all the videos on social media, he may be 34-years-old and only recently recovered from an injury that kept him out of action for two years, but Cazorla still has plenty to offer.

He pulled the strings in midfield last season and has retained all the flair and technical skills that made him one of the best exports the Premier League has seen.

He even earned a recall to the Spain squad for his performances last season. Cazorla has that rare ability to pull a big moment out of the bag when needed and with another tough season expected, he will have a significant role to play.

Santi Cazorla is Villarreal's maestro in midfield while Samuel Chukwueze could be important
