Barca bought to improve their squad last summer, but their reserve players, Lucas Digne, Denis Suarez, Paco Alcacer and especially Andre Gomez didn't offer the same level of performances and eventually it was in games where they played and under achieved (ie Malaga and Deportivo la Coruna away from home) where Barca lost the title.
3) A good summer is vital
The building blocks of a season are placed during the summer and the sides that prepared well in the summer reaped the rewards, whereas those who didn't paid the price.
As we have seen, Real Madrid recovered Alvaro Morata and Marcos Asensio and the two were vital in giving Zidane attacking options, whereas Barca made several signings of whom only Samuel Umtiti could be considered a success.
At the bottom of the table, Granada's chaotic transfer policy (if they actually had a policy) saw a host of loan players arrive late in the summer to form a squad that didn't even speak the same language and finished bottom of the table.
Sporting Gijon also adopted a scattergun approach, signing players who took away from the spirit of a previously home-grown squad and they too went down, while Osasuna quite simply didn't have the cash to splash and paid the price as well, especially after sacking the popular Quique Martin with the campaign not three months old.
