Posted Tuesday, August 16, 2011 by Theglobeandmail.com

Barcelona opens its season Saturday at revamped Malaga, while Madrid hosts new-look Athletic Bilbao, which has Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa at the helm. But all eyes will be on the season-long tussle between Barcelona and Madrid since no other club has been able to dislodge the top-two since Valencia in 2004.
