European and domestic conquerors Real Madrid easily took home the La Liga title last year with a 13-point cushion over next-best Barcelona in the race for the Spanish crown.
The bookies are expecting a much tighter race this year however as while Real Madrid are currently favorites to defend their title yet again at odds of +110, Barcelona are hot on their heels at +150.
2020/21 champions Atletico Madrid appear to be the only other realistic contenders to the two super teams this season at odds of +500, with every other team featuring high in the double digits.
