The English Premier League has long been the most popular championship in the world, but during the time of Leo Messi in Barcelona and Cristiano Ronaldo in Real Madrid, the Spanish La Liga successfully kept pace with the English. However, it has been six years since the Portuguese left for Juventus and three since the Argentinian moved to PSG. Although it might be too harsh to say it, the interest in the Spanish championship has significantly decreased globally due to those transfers.’Barca can afford Nico Williams!’Real Madrid and Barcelona are too great to depend on individuals, and even without aces like Messi and Ronaldo, they always have players who attract attention, their trophy quests being thoroughly followed from round to round. However, it seems that in recent years, Spanish football has lacked individuals to talk about widely. Karim Benzema went to Saudi Arabia after winning the Ballon d’Or, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos were nearing retirement, and thus, their playing times had been reduced, and Robert Lewandowski is less effective and attractive than in Bayern Munich. But the new La Liga edition with the young stars Kylian Mbappe, Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, Arda Guler, and Endrick could bring back the old shine to the league in the upcoming season.La Liga is dominating the current Top 5 favourites for the Golden Boy award. 👏🇪🇸1)🇪🇸Lamine Yamal – Barcelona2)🇧🇷Endrick – Real Madrid4)🇧🇷Savio – Girona5)🇹🇷Arda Guler – Real Madrid[@Score90_] pic.twitter.com/mzNvEpzcpx— LaLigaExtra (@LaLigaExtra) June 30, 2024 The France captain will clearly be at the centre of everyone’s attention, given that his move to Real has been awaited for years. One of the best players in the world did not play the European Championship at the expected level and will hence have a lot to prove. Los Blancos’ fans are eagerly awaiting the youngster Endrick. The Brazilian can neither boast of success with his national team at the Copa America, but it is undeniable that he is a fantastic talent and a guy who is capable of contributing immediately. That’s why it will be interesting to see what role he will have under Carlo Ancelotti, given that he is only 17 years old, especially since his competition for the place on the team – apart from Mbappe – are his Brazil teammates Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo.##NAJAVA_MECA_8205948##They expect a lot in Madrid from another young EURO 2024 star – Arda Guler. After struggling with injuries upon his arrival from Fenerbahce last July, his rise began at the end of last season and only continued at the continental tournament. Hence, the Turk also sent a message to Ancelotti that he could rely on him in the coming season. Finally, we must not forget the one who has already been there – Jude Bellingham. The 21-year-old has been the only light in his national team’s gloomy performances at the EURO, and the midfielder deserves the most recognition for England’s advancement to the semi-final.Spanish internationals Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams will also be the reason why the new La Liga season will be eagerly awaited. Reaching the EURO grand final returned La Furia to the place it had in the era of Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, and others, and the two teenagers are among the most deserving of it. Obviously, Luis de la Fuente knows them very well from the youth categories as he trusted them and gave them freedom, managing to get the most out of the teenagers who were the leaders in their clubs.DÚO. 🌟🇪🇸 pic.twitter.com/dfAdhGnHft— LALIGA (@LaLiga) July 6, 2024 Last season indicated that Yamal and Williams would be the new stars of Spanish football, and now we are waiting for the outcome regarding the future of the Athletic Bilbao winger. If he really moves to Barcelona, as the president of the Catalans, Joan Laporta, has hinted, it will be a pleasure to watch him on the wing with his 16-year-old national team roommate as well as with another pair of Barca’s youngsters – Pedri and Gavi.Finally, Atletico Madrid, led by the passionate Diego Simeone, Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad, which had the most internationals in Spain’s squad at EURO, and last season’s biggest surprise, Girona, all cannot be underestimated. The new La Liga season starts on August 15th, and all these stars promise an intriguing competition.
