Although much has been expected from Barcelona and Real Madrid this season -- at both a local and international level -- they both disappointed in the first round of the Spanish season.
Barcelona lost 1-0 against Numancia with an early goal, while, Real Madrid were beaten 2-1 by Deportivo La Coruna at the Riazor stadium, a venue where they haven't managed to win at in several years.
Despite lots of excitement in the transfer market I believe both Barcelona and Real Madrid haven't made good reinforcements, and although they should still do very well this season, they both look significantly weaker when compared to last season.
Barcelona made few important signings, and got rid of two of their key players in Brazilians Ronaldinho and Deco. Even if they are both proven trouble makers, they will always be great players, and it seems that Barca made the wrong decision to release them both.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid lost Robinho on a big-money move to Manchester City, and he will be a huge loss for the side. In truth Real Madrid haven't made any great purchases, and are likely to pay the penalty for this. Julio Baptista's transfer to Roma was also a big mistake.
