Barcelona

Barcelona failed to get a singley trophy in the previous season, it is obviously a disaster for the team of such stature, so club signed a number of new players during the off-season. Board spent 150 million euros for transfer campaign.

Catalan club got off to a turbulent start in the Champions League - in three rounds team secured one victory, beating Viktoria Plzen (5:1), and suffered two defeats. Club is currently at the 3rd spot in the group.

Celta Vigo

Celta put up an inconsistent performance in the previous season and failed to achieve success in Copa del Rey. During the off-season no expensive transfers were made, but club's board managed to keep the core of the squad.
