Teams that can win La Liga 2024:
1. Girona FC
It is shocking to not see the top 3 famous Spanish clubs on the first place. Girona is looking to disappoint the two league Giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona this season. The team currently stands at the top of the points table ahead of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Artem Dovbyk is the highest scorer in La Liga and is greatly helping the team to dominate the league. Sadly they did lose 3-0 against Real Madrid but that did not break their title hopes.
Many experts claimed that their campaign won’t be consistent and last only till the winter transfer during which the top teams will be able to acquire better players who will perform in the league and ultimately help them win the league. The claims do not seem so strong and Girona has a fair chance of winning the La Liga in 2023 ahead of the elites.
2. Real Madrid
Real Madrid is a club that needs no introduction, they have won the domestic league 35 times and hold 14 Champions League titles, the highest in football history. In 2023 they were second with 10 points behind the champions. Madrid is now all ready to take their revenge against their rivals Barcelona and plan to win the league. In a recent El Classico encounter, they won the game 2-1 with Jude Bellingham who scored both goals, he has scored 10 goals in just 11 matches for the team, Joselu is on loan from Espanyol and has also scored 5 goals.
The squad went through a reshuffle this year as top players like Eden Hazard, and Karim Benzema left the team and youngsters like Bellingham, and Briham Diaz were bought by the club, even a new keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga was acquired on a loan from Chelsea, with the team sitting in the second position with only few points behind the leader, they have the highest chances to win the league.
3. FC Barcelona
Barcelona is another top club in the football world, with 27 league titles and 5 UEFA Champions League titles, they are also the current champions of La Liga. The club did go through a rough patch during the 2020-21 seasons where they were hit with financial problems but after the return of their legendary player Xavi as manager of the team, it has been quite successful at least in the domestic leagues.
The club recently purchased Robert Lewandowski who scored 41 goals last season and has already scored 8 this season fulfilling the attacking gap that was left open ever since Messi and Neymar left the club, it was also their first season in 15 years playing without club legends like Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets.
The race is still on for them as they still have the chance to win the league if everything works out for them. Although they will have to watch out for Atletico Madrid as they are very close on the table and are looking very scary in the 2024 season.
