After winning the Champions League, Copa del Rey, and La Liga in 2014-2015, Barcelona looks to win La Liga for the 24th time. After adding Luis Suarez to the side from Liverpool in 2014-2015, Barcelona set the record for the most goals by a trio, as Lionel Messi, Suarez, and Neymar (nicknamed “MSN”) scored 121 combined goals in all competitions. Even with all of their successes in 2014-2015, Barcelona is still being aggressive in the transfer market, signing Aleix Vidal and Arda Turan while retaining Dani Alves. They did lose Xavi and rumors have Pedro leaving Barcelona to go to the Premier League, but Barcelona still are the best side in Europe.
Barcelona will open the season with two tough road matchups in their first three matches, traveling to Bilbao in the opening weekend and Madrid to play Atletico Madrid in the third weekend of the season. On October 4, 2015, Barcelona will travel to Europa League champions Sevilla and El Clasico matchups with Real Madrid will be contested on November 8, 2015 in Madrid and April 3, 2016 in Barcelona.
