RE: New 2017/18 Football Season Begins: Ronaldo Gets Blocked, Barca Stuck With Transfers, ManU Thrives
I completely agree. Ronaldo's ban is a little bit too much. Barcelona's in a hard time because it's always hard to change. They are in a place now where they are losing players not necessarily because they are selling them, but because they are retiring or getting too old to still get the same results as they did. Transition fazes are always hard, and this is exactly why Real Madrid are doing so great the last couple of years. That transfer ban that they had a few years ago helped them, actually. Instead of selling and buying like they usually did, the time allowed to the players they already had to play together proved to be what they needed. They still seem favorites to win the Spanish League this year, to me. And in UCL, I'm not sure yet who can stop them, possibly PSG.
