The opening match of the 2027-2028 La Liga season is between the defending champion Catalonia United and last season's 11th place Turias.
This summer, Catalonia United are pursuing both Hulay and Cabangca.
As a result, Hulay chose Madrid Pirates, while Kabangka failed to join Catalonia because Manchester United did not agree to release him.
As a result, Catalonia United spent more than a month's efforts, but failed to achieve success.
This does not mean that they have gained nothing in the transfer market, it is just that they have not made any important signings.
The important signings are naturally Hu Lai or Kabangka.
Of course, they have not given up on continuing to introduce Kabangka. After all, the transfer window has not closed yet. Before September 1, anything can happen.
After wresting a league title from the Madrid Kings, who had won three consecutive league titles, Catalonia United are ambitious. On the one hand, they want to stabilize their results in La Liga. On the other hand, they naturally pursue a breakthrough in the Champions League and win the Champions League again.
champion.
Neither of the two strong players won, which is not good news for Catalonia United in the new season.
But for the talented player they trained themselves, Mario Salado, this is a major benefit.
Because this means that the team will give him more opportunities and rely more on him, and he will also be able to fully get a stage to train and display his talents.
Salado suffered an injury last season and was sidelined for three months. This was the first major injury he suffered since joining the Catalan United first team.
Fortunately, he recovered well and did not leave any sequelae. With his young body's ability to quickly recover, he still performed well after returning to the court.
After missing three months due to injury, he scored 14 goals and provided eight assists for Catalonia in La Liga throughout the season.
Scored one goal and assisted three times in the Champions League.
Scored six goals and one assist in the Copa del Rey.
In one season, he scored a total of 21 goals and provided 12 assists.
The performance is very good.
He has been regarded by the Catalan media as someone who can truly compete with Melli.
Even though Catalonia did not obtain Kabangka, they also increased their efforts to train Salado.
Of course, this does not mean that Catalonia has given up on Cabonca. They will definitely continue to work hard to win Cabonca.
And with Julay joining Madrid Pirates, the Catalan United side can even use this as bait to lure Capangca and help him make up his mind that both Julay and Melli are in La Liga. Don’t you want to come to Catalonia to play with them?
Is it longer or shorter?
Although Hulay is far inferior to Melli in terms of personal honors and team honors, because of the transfer fee of 120 million, he has become the most valuable player among players under the age of 24.
So to a certain extent, he can indeed be compared with Mellie.
It is recognized by public opinion that Hu Lai has become a leader among young people in world football.
At the same time, his every move after moving to Madrid Pirates will be closely watched by the media to see if he can live up to everyone's evaluation and expectations of him.
One hundred and twenty million euros, even in the entire European football world, is a huge transfer fee.
It is the only one among players under the age of 24.
This is not only a great honor, but also a huge pressure for Hu Lai.
If he performs poorly and is dissatisfied with La Liga, he will become the biggest parallel importer in the history of Madrid Pirates Club. Even if it is put into the entire La Liga history, he can still compete for the top spot.

In the opening game of the league, Mario Salado, who played for Catalan United, was very active. He scored one goal and assisted two goals, helping Catalan United beat Turias with six goals at home.
As the eleventh place last season, Turias's strength is good. After all, they are a small team, but their performance in recent years has been stable in the middle. They even won the 2025-2026 season
Finished sixth in the league and qualified for the Europa League.
So this eleventh place last season was achieved when they participated in the Europa League.
In this comparison, they are much better than Saria, who participated in the Europa League but caused the team to be relegated.
Such a team that is stable in the middle and can still compete for European qualifications was beaten 0:6 by Catalonia United in the first round of the league.
This shows how powerful Catalonia United is.
At the same time, it also allowed outsiders like Hu Lai to see the power of the "Western Super League".
The so-called "Spanish Super League" means that the three super giants in La Liga are obviously stronger than other teams.
"Super League". The other seventeen teams play in the First Division, which is one level lower than the Super League.
Similarly, England has to force G6, which actually means the same thing.
But because there are as many as six giant teams in England, the competition between the giants is fierce enough, so there will not be a monopoly.
The top three in the Western Premier League are too far apart from other Spanish teams and have formed a monopoly.
Historically, La Liga was established in 1910. It has gone through 117 years and produced 113 league champions. It was suspended for three years due to the Spanish Civil War.
Among the 113 league titles, Kings of Madrid hold 35, Catalan United 28 and Pirates of Madrid 20.
The three Spanish Super League champions have won a total of 83 championships, accounting for 73% of the total number of La Liga championships.
It can be said to be very monopolistic.
Moreover, these three teams are also the only teams in the history of La Liga that have never been relegated.
That's why they can become the top three in the Western Premier League.
Of course, the reasons why these three companies have become wealthy are different.
The King of Madrid initially relied on the royal family, and later he also became a big capitalist and aristocrat. He was the favorite of the rich, and they took the upper-class route.
Catalonia United is backed by the whole of Catalonia and uses the most economically developed regions to supply this team and develop a wealthy team.
The Madrid Pirates really rely on the working class and the people at the bottom, relying on the fighting spirit, and using their own fighting power to win enough honors, so that they can be called the "Three Heroes of the Western Super League" with the first two. Of course, in this process, the Madrid Pirates also have great achievements.
With the injection of capital, many of the presidents are also rich. But without exception, these rich people are from the bottom, started from scratch, and worked hard.
For example, although Carlos Rombo, the current chairman of Madrid Pirates Club, is a rich man with assets of 800 million euros, he was originally from a civilian family in the south city of Madrid, and he made his fortune through hard work step by step.
He has been a die-hard fan of Pirates of Madrid since he was a child. For an ordinary family like his, Pirates of Madrid is simply their belief. So even if he becomes rich, he has not changed his belief and still loves Pirates of Madrid. He loves it so much that he just starts it.
President of the Madrid Pirates Club.
Compared with those small teams that really come from the bottom, the Madrid Pirates are of course a giant. But if compared with the Madrid Kings and Catalonia United, they are indeed slightly inferior.
This can be seen from the net worth of the club presidents of the two rival teams in the same city:
As mentioned before, Carlos Rombo, the chairman of the Madrid Pirates Club, has a net worth of 800 million euros and can only rank 50th on the Spanish rich list. Juan Benetto, the chairman of the Madrid Kings Club, has a net worth of 2.5 billion euros and ranks among the richest people in Spain.
Top ten.
If nothing else happens, this season's La Liga champions will also be born among the three Spanish Super League teams: Madrid Kings, Madrid Pirates and Catalonia United.
It is difficult for other teams to compete with them.

After the match between Catalonia United and Turias, the new La Liga season has completely kicked off.
Zhang Qinghuan also ushered in the first game of his second La Liga season.
Last season, Saria struggled to avoid relegation in the league. Unexpectedly, it soared in the end, finishing seventh in the league at the end of the season. With the Copa del Rey champion, Madrid Kings already qualified for the Champions League and won the opportunity to participate in the European Cup.
Tickets for the Fed Cup.
So this summer, Celia Club first renewed the contract with the team's head coach Arno Casas, and then recruited new players to expand its strength. It is hoped that this time it will not repeat the same mistakes, and it can not only achieve a breakthrough in the Europa League, but also successfully stay in the club.
In the First Division.
Although Saria strengthened the lineup, Zhang Qinghuan still won the trust of head coach Casas, and he played in the first game of the new season.
In the end, Saria drew 2:2 with Samirspor in the away game.
Zhang Qinghuan did not score a goal or assist in the game.
As a midfield commander, his performance was quite satisfactory.
In fact, for many people, this performance is already qualified.
Because I made no mistakes.
As long as he makes no mistakes, he will have a place in this team's lineup.
Only by playing consecutive games can you have a chance to perform well.
Moreover, Zhang Qinghuan, who is already a second-year player in La Liga, clearly attracted the attention of his opponents during the game.
Under such circumstances, it is really good to be able to perform like this.
You can't hold Hu Lai's standards to Zhang Qinghuan, they are completely different.
※※※
The match between Sarria and Samirspor was held in the evening, and Zhang Qinghuan did not return to his home in downtown Barcelona until the next day.
In the evening, after dinner with Uncle Yong, they stayed in front of the TV to watch another game.
The TV is showing the Madrid Pirates bus heading towards Sevilla Navigators' home stadium, the Windsurfing Stadium.
There are police escorts in front and behind the bus.
They are not here to help the Madrid Pirates show their majesty, but to protect the Madrid Pirates.
Because right behind the bus and the police, there were some private cars.
These were fans of Sevilla Navigators. They chased the Madrid Pirates bus, shouting and cursing all the way.
Zhang Qinghuan, who has played in La Liga for a year, has naturally seen this kind of scene. He laughed: "Haha! I wonder if Hu Lai can bear this 'meeting gift' from the Navigator!"
Then the broadcast screen switched to a close-up shot of the pirate's black bus.
It was Hu Lai who appeared in the car window in the camera.
I saw him holding his mobile phone and facing out the car window, seeming to be taking photos or recording videos.
