Real Madrid vs. Deportivo De La Coruna Preview

Real Madrid vs Deportivo
Saturday 29 August 2009,
Estadio Santiago Bernabéu
Kick-Off: 19:00

Real Madrid
Real Madrid have opened up their wallet this transfer window and splurged on everything attractive in sight.

Not many clubs in the world have the funds available to afford one of the three major signings made by Real Madrid over the summer. Yet, as the opening day of La Liga is right around the corner, the Spanish giants have captured the service of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Kaká.

Apparently, Real Madrid are not only interested in challenging Barcelona for the title. No, they want to completely destroy all competition en route to becoming champions.

The rest of Europe must be shaking in their boots thinking about the prospect of facing Real Madrid in the Champions League. The powerhouse that Real Madrid have made themselves for the upcoming season is quite remarkable.

Ruud van Nistelrooy returned to action against Rosenborg in a midweek friendly that Real Madrid thoroughly dominated. Rosenborg hardly had a sniff of goal as the Spanish giants triumphed 4-0.

Wesley Sneijder is rumoured to have signed for Inter and may not be featured.

Deportivo
Deportivo de la Coruna will be looking to improve on their mid-table finish from last season.

Deportivo finished 10th in La Liga for the 2008/09 campaign and will face an uphill battle to accomplish a European Cup position this season.

Mista returns to the club rejuvenated ready to go after only playing 10 matches for the club last season, although the loss of a number of different players such as Omar Bravo, Cristian, Rodri, Pablo Amo and Fabricio could see the season become more of a transitional one for the La Coruna club.

Juca is an interesting new face arriving from Partizan Belgrad.

Prediction

Deportivo was successful in defeating Real Madrid 2-1 at home on opening day a year ago. Real Madrid, however, was able to get their revenge at the Santiago Bernabeu and won a close affair 1-0.

Real Madrid have the talent to win 90 percent of their matches this season. Their attack is second to none in the world and should control this match from the kickoff. If they don’t win by a sizable margin, it would be considered a failure.
