Real Madrid (+£178m of talent) or Barcelona (Treble Campiones): Who will reign supreme?

With Cristiano Ronaldo set to be unveiled wearing the number 9, many Madridista fans imagined that CR..9 would play a more of a forward role for the Bernabéu faithful. This was no concern for Madrid fans, as Ronaldo has shown that he can excel as a target man (i.e. Champions League Semi-Final 2nd Leg vs. Arsenal). However, with another 30 million pounds that Florentino Perez imagines Real Madrid can afford to spend, the side was able to attain the signature of 21-year-old French striker, Karim Benzema. Real Madrid has now spent £178 million for four players: Cristiano Ronaldo (£80), Kaka (£56), Raul Albiol (£12), and now Benzema (£30).
Real Madrid will not be the only major club in Spain making improvements to their team,
Catalan rivals FC Barcelona are currently pursuing Valencia striker David Villa.
