Ranking Real Madrid’s top 5 toughest opponents for the 2021-22 LaLiga season

Another season of LaLiga is coming our way very soon, and we have yet to see the signing of Kylian Mbappe. Ever since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid haven’t really been a threat from the wings.

Gareth Bale hasn’t been the same player we fell in love with, Vinicius and Rodrygo are still too young to be handed over the responsibility of attack from the wings (even though they have been doing it for the majority of the last two years). Both Vinicius and Asensio have been trying their best to deliver but failing almost every time.

Eden Hazard always impresses us whenever he comes on the pitch, but it’s sad that he faces another injury setback after just 2 or 3 matches. So, Mbappe is very crucial for Real Madrid.

Also, with the departure of Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane, there is too much pressure on the defenders. So, this campaign doesn’t seem to go great for Real Madrid and some of the opponents might take full advantage of this situation and can surely cause some problems to the club in LaLiga.

5. Real Sociedad:

The ‘Underdogs of LaLiga’ deserve to be on this list by the level they play at. With players like Mikel Oyarzabal, David Silva, and Alexander Isak we all know that they are going to cause a lot of difficulty to Real Madrid in the upcoming season with the pace they have got to challenge Real’s backline.

They ended the last season at the 5th position in LaLiga and will be looking to make it to the top 4 next season to book a spot in the UCL. So a highly motivated Real Sociedad can surely be a threat to Los Blancos.
