World Sports: Barcelona s road to defending the title will not be easy, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have launched a large number of signings to attack the champion

Recently, "Shiyi" talked about the defence of Barcelona this season's title will not be smooth. They said that Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid's big signings this summer will have an impact on the championship.

Although Barcelona defeated Mallorca 3-0 in the first match of the 2025/26 season, head coach Frick was not satisfied. The opponent was sent off two in the first half, and Frick believes the team only played 50%. He made it clear at the press conference that such performance was unacceptable and stressed that the team must do its best.

Frick and his team hope that the team will show high standards from the beginning of the season to deal with big signings from Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. The two teams spent a total of nearly 400 million euros in this transfer window. However, Barcelona's advantage is that they have completed a nearly complete pre-season preparation, while Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid face different preparations for participating in the Club World Cup.

Flick's goal is to accumulate as many points as possible at the beginning of the season, thus opening up the distance from Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. At present, Atletico Madrid lost to Espanyol in its first game, and Barcelona has led by 3 points. In the next game against Levante and Vallecano, the team will strive to win.

Last season, Frick led Barcelona to perform well in the early stages of the league, winning 11 of the first 12 games, but only scored 5 points during the "bad November" period, almost affecting the final championship.

This year, he hopes that the team will continue to maintain a humble attitude and consolidate its position in the league. Despite the difficulties in the market, the team still introduced goalkeepers Joan Garcia and Rashford, and despite Inigo Martinez's unexpected departure, the team still needs to maintain a high-intensity game rhythm.

In the past two seasons, Barcelona has won the championship with 88 points respectively, but the gap between them and the runner-up last season is only 4 points. Therefore, Frick believes that more points need to be won this season, with the goal of exceeding 90 points. For Frick, the road to defending the title has begun.
