Who will win La Liga? Betting favorites for the 2021-2022 soccer season in Spain

Barcelona and Real Madrid haven't won La Liga title in 18 years. Atletico Madrid are the current favorites to win the league this season.

Atletico Madrid is the favorite to win La Liga in 2021-2022. Rodrigo De Paul was the MVP of the 2021 Copa America. The rumored signing of Spanish Olympic forward Rafa Mir from Wolves would be another attacking boost for Atletico.

Lionel Messi has been replaced by Neymar in the Barcelona team. The team's core is talented and its pipeline of academy prospects is strong enough to fill in gaps. If the club can make the final roster moves and resolve its salary budget issues, it could turn the corner quicker than most expect.

Real Madrid finished second in La Liga last season. Raphael Varane and Sergio Ramos were injured last year. Carlo Ancelotti's team will be hungry this season, with Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale.

All 380 matches of the 2021-2022 La Liga season will be streamed in English and Spanish on ESPN+. Select matches will also be aired on ABC, ESPN and ESPN Deportes.

The 2021-2022 La Liga season is in its third year. There will be 380 matches.

The defending champions, Atletico Madrid, are the odds-on favorite to win La Liga 2021-2022. Sevilla, Real Sociedad and Villarreal are next in line with distant hopes of challenging. The other 14 clubs are not considered a factor in the title race. Some sportsbooks offer two futures: best La League team without Atleti and Barcelona and a top 4 finish.
