Real Madrid's LaLiga 2019-20 season has kicked off and we will see 19 other teams hustle to become the champions of Spain. The 33-time LaLiga champions - Real Madrid - had a rough run last season. As Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid before the beginning of last season, Los Blancos struggled to cope with the loss of their star player. They finished third in the league but now, they have new signings and a rejuvenated Zinedine Zidane to bring the glory days back at Real Madrid.
Zidane brought in Chelsea's Eden Hazard to the team over the summer along with the likes of Luka Jovic, Militao, Ferland Mendy. Real Madrid have started the season decently and are currently second on the table behind Athletic Bilbao only in terms of goal-difference (Win 3, Draw 2).
