Kikosi cha Madrid kitakuaje msimu huu

Zinedine Zidane has splashed out over €300 million this summer following a disastrous 2018-19 campaign - can the Blancos return to the top again?

After a troubled pre-season, Zinedine Zidane’s Real Madrid start the Laliga  campaign already under pressure. 

They have bolstered their squad with the arrivals of Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic, Ferland Mendy and other stars, shelling out over €300 million (£275m/$333m), but questions remain over Los Blancos after last season’s appalling campaign. 

Madrid have been well off the pace in La Liga in the last two seasons, finishing third in both behind champions Barcelona is the and runners-up Atletico Madrid. They have accumulated a mammoth 36 points less than Barca during that time.
