Welcome into the latest edition of ESPNFC. I'm Dan Thomas.

Joined in the studio today by Craig Burley and Shaka Hissot, not long now until the domestic seasons kick off across Europe, including of course La Liga, where Barcelona are looking

to defend their title, but it's Real Madrid who go into the start of the season as favourites,

and we welcome a man who we haven't seen here for a very long time.

Louis Garcia, being lazy, I could ask you my normal question.

Are you surprised that Real Madrid are favourites?

But I won't bother because you obviously will be surprised

because you're a Barcelona man who backed Barcelona last season.

So I'll ask you this.

Going into the start of the campaign, what is your biggest concern about Barcelona?

Well, I guess, Dan, good to see you and be back on the screen with you guys.

I think that once again, we know that Real Madrid when it starts the season is going to be favorite.

The way, the history that this Real Madrid side started with the new managers, a couple of good new introductions into the team. I think that it's still a little bit more to arrive, if not Real Madrid, it could struggle during the season because it's going to be very long. And I think that they have in the squad that they have at the moment, it's not going to be enough to challenge for every single competition. But what we saw in the club World Cup, I think the show was that Chavez already put an impression into this team. It's trying to bring something different, something that so far we haven't seen in the Real Madrid side for quite a long

time, that is that ability to have the ball and to progress and to create a lot of chances

with a lot of pressure in the last third. And that's something new. And for Barcelona, I think

the Hansi Flick needs to address once again that high line. I think the last year in the most

important moment, I think that we all remember the game against Yiltre

and Mila probably it was the most important one. They struggled so much. They were exposed and that those kind of moments where you need to understand what is happening. You need to change the way that you are playing and adapt to what you got in front. I think it is important that they use it in a different way.

Because playing every single game at the same intensity at the same tempo, with that highlight,

I think sometimes it's going to make you pay.
