LaLiga team-by-team preview: How Spain's top sides stack up to Real Madrid, Barcelona

The 2022-23 LaLiga season begins this week! A lot has happened since Real Madrid lifted its record-extending 35th league trophy over eternal rivals Barcelona. Madrid also won their 14th Champions League trophy (another record), but Barcelona aim to topple the champions with some new marquee players.

— LaLiga starts Friday: Osasuna vs. Sevilla (ESPN+, 3 p.m. ET)

While Real Madrid reveled with their silverware and Barcelona got busy by signing in a summer class headlined by Robert Lewandowski, other LaLiga teams and players made their own headlines. Atletico Madrid bid farewell to Luis Suarez, Sevilla saw several stars come and go, and Athletic Club welcomed back a team legend to the bench. The promoted sides (Almeria, Real Valladolid and Girona) will also fight to ensure their stay isn't just for one season.
