will the next season for real madrid fc will be different from the previous seasons?

The players need some spankin' (figuratively, hehehe)!!! It's probably because they are already secured by earning big payloads playing for Madrid that is why they are not playing their hearts out. I think even if they make a major make-over in their line-up, they won't improve unless they will refocus their sights into making Real a force to fear and not as a force to admire. They were a force to fear before this last three seasons. The reason they lost that fear factor is because they aimed for "prestige" and it cost them their edginess. Creating the Galacticos is fine as long as it is a Galactico that is truly fearsome, that will command respect and with players that play as if they will die if they lose, not a Galactico that play as if it's an All-Star game full of eye-candy trickeries but has no incisive and defensive capabilities. One more thing, Real started their decline when they focused much on attack and not on defense. Makelele left, they didn't replace him. Hierro left, they didn't replace the void that gave them defensive solidity. Madrid should develop a complete team!  A type of team that they were developing during their past, fruitful years.

Sadly, this is yet another grey trophyless season at Santiago Bernabeu...The two matches against Real at both rounds of the league perfectly illustrated the difference between the two teams...Barcelona has made a fun ride this year...

Now that the rule was clarified after last season teams now know that finishing fourth does not mean a Champions league place. It will seem fair or unfair dependant on who you support.

Yes they will. A new era has begun at Barcelona and it aint gonna end anytime soon. They have a fantastic coach and great squad full of players who don't only have immense talent but are great teamplayers. Barca plays like a team with communication and chemistry and I think it shows when they play.\n\nAlso their squad is relatively young with players in early/mid twenties and with some of the best players in the world in their prime..they can't go wrong.

I highly doubt it.  Last summer proved how much he's tied to the club.  \n\nAs for Real Madrid, they want everyone.  Being as good as he is, Gerrard is going to make the list.  Real's a spent force now, even with the stars they had stacked on the team. They are no longer the best in Spain, with Barcelona looking to dominate for years to come.  Be it Barcelona in Spain or Chelsea in England, Gerrard will still be fighting for that one title that's eluding him.  \n\nHe's the center of Rafa's so-called revolution at Liverpool.  At Real, he'll just be another player making the numbers.  I have yet to see an English player be respected on the continent.  Owen was the second highest scorer, yet he was seen as a surplus.  I have no doubt Gerrard will do well wherever he goes, but he's got plenty to work on at Liverpool.

yes.if previous years are anything to go by,they always start off playing with their eyes shut and on one leg,then dramatically improve as the competition hots up.i think they've got the best chance they've had for a while.just dont mentional penalty shootouts!

I think you'd have to assume so, though I haven't heard it mentioned specifically.  How can they be in Champion's when they are no longer champions, and even moreso, when they may be relegated?

Definitely.\n\nYou only have to look at the results.  Maybe the better question to ask would be comparing Barcelona to past champions.\n\nIt's the old debate of Champion Team vs Team of Champions.\nThe only thing that matters is who is winning games, not who's on the squad.\n\n2006 Premera Liga Table\nBarca 82 points from 36 games (clinched title)\nReal 70 points.\n(2005 Barcelona won also)\n\n\n\n2006 Champions League\nBarca - In final\nReal Madrid - Out in Round of 16.\n\nWhere do we stop\nBarca - 102,000 members\nReal - 85,000 members

Yes I think they can....First they need to change the Coach/Manager....Get them over to Europe and play more... even if it is friendlies....

As the first chap said, it doesn't look like it. Mind you if they get promoted this year and then again the following season there will no doubt be a few more about./

yeah i think so. but the league title will be overshadowed by the fact that they couldn't pull a piece of silverware out of the FA Cup and CL......well done on the league though! Still, unless they can pull out this kind of performance in all competitions for over a decade like United has done, they will not be viewed as a powerhouse (long-term) in my book.

Champions League is very important for Barca this season.  They already have injury problems (Oleguer, Messi).  They don't want to add more to it. Hopefully Larson will be available for Milan clash.  Barca plays away game and I think Rijkaard will rest key players (especially Ronaldihno) and allow Deco to orchestrate the game in Seville. After Seville Barca plays with Cadiz at home.  I think Rijkaard will try to kill La Liga here at this game at Nou Camp.

yes because in his last season at real madrid he won the treble and the board were not happy with that.i think they have won 1 trophy since.

I think there will be some significant changes coming for the falcons, just not this year. \n\nThe team drastically underachieved this year, and Jim Mora Jr is on the hot seat. I think the coaches retrurn en masse for one more year and then sink or swim as a group.

Very unlikely as they only have a couple of matches left.Best of luck for next season though in getting promotion from the conference.

Even if they change things around starting now it will take more than being ready next year.\n\nWhen ever a team makes the mark the Chicago Bulls did with Micheal Jordan & Company the expections or always wanted again I think they will find players and be a good team again because of the pressure of the City & Bulls Fans but it will not be next year.

no...will lose identity and a chance to win championship with Chelsea next year....needs to be somewhere where can stand out and see results instead of being bumped around and playing some here and some there
