Its been a long off season, but very deserved it must be said. Last season was filled with many highlights, triumphs and disappointments. What will FIFA 15: Season 2 bring us?
La Liga was really a two horse race last season. Barcelona never really looked like surrendering their control to the forever chasing Aletico Madrid. In the end Atletico dropped the ball and handed the title to Barcelona with 2 games remaining.
Real Madrid barely showed what they were capable of until a very late run provided some optimism.
Barcelona will head into the new season as Champions, and favourites. However Real Madrid will take plenty from their late season form to think they will have more of the running this time round. Can Athletico Madrid go one step better and take the La Liga title from the Spanish Super clubs.
Our prediction: Athletico won't have the muscle this time. It will be either Barca or Real this season and it will be Messi or Ronaldo who will prove the difference in the end.
Copa Del Rey last season was a massive let down. Neither big gun went further than their first match with both Barcelona and Real Madrid suffering miserable upsets to unlikely opponents.
No doubt both teams will want to take this competition more seriously this time from game one and take no chances with resting players.
Our Prediction: This one will prove a dog fight - wouldn't surprise us if its a Super final with both big guns in the big dance.
Champions League. This biggest disappointment of all. Real Madrid once again couldn't take the final step after losing a gripping final to PSG in the final minute of extra time. Heartbreaking but it may just be the motivation they need to finally deliver their boss JM the biggest prize he's never won.
Barcelona had the tough end of the draw, but still won their way through to a Semi Final before being eliminated by the eventual champions PSG.
Our Prediction: We have seen in past years how hard it is to make a final let alone win one. With JM already committing his future to the Premier League from next season this may prove his last chance to win this completion for quite some time. For this reason we believe Real Madrid play all or nothing and do it for JM. This could be the year.
As for Barcelona, its been a long time since they made it to a Champions League final, can they get there again - we believe they certainly can and if they do, well they have a manager who's done it before which may prove the difference. Could be anything this season.
Good luck to all our players and teams. Bring on a great big new season!
