Seeing Barcelona win La Liga and the Champions League last year was too much for them to bear. They had to do something about and going on a spending spree was their solution.
There is no doubt that this raises the Real Madrid - Barcelona rivalry a few notches. The Catalans threw down the gauntlet last year and this is the way Real responds.
As for the Real Madrid - Athletico Madrid rivalry forget about it. There is no way Athletico can compete with their more fancied local rivals.
In response, Barcelona has been quiet on the transfer scene. They replaced one Brazilian with another. Sylvinho is out and Henrique is in.
For many reasons, it should be a fascinating season.
