This shot Real Sociedad and Villarreal up to top spot but of course these are still early days.

The 2020-21 La Liga season is off to the races! The best word to describe the short off season is...chaotic. Messi almost left FC Barcelona, Suarez transferred to Atl Madrid, Bale was loaned to Tottenham, Hazard came back to pre-season out of shape, and Ronald Koeman nearly brought fellow dutchmen Memphis Depay and Georginio Wijnaldum to FC Barcelona. It’s all leading up to be another exciting season of top flight Spanish football. This week we take a closer look at the current state of the top 4 clubs from last season (2:36) while also previewing Real Madrid vs Cadiz (52:15), FC Barcelona vs Getafe (59:52), and Villarreal vs Valencia (1:05:15).
