The world’s
most exciting football leagues are returning to SuperSport with a bang this
August as Europe’s best players go to battle across the continent to win the
most coveted prizes in the club game. Only DStv will showcase all 380 matches
of the Premier League and all 380 matches from La Liga while GOtv customers
will get a slice of the action with select games.
Chelsea will
defend their Premier League title but will likely face a sterner challenge this
campaign with most of their rivals having added handsomely to their squads.
Chelsea
have brought in striker Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid, but missed out on their
number one target, Romelu Lukaku, who is bolstering the revolution at
Manchester United under Jose Mourinho.
Arsenal
have high hopes for free-scoring forward Alexandre Lacazette, an arrival from
Lyon, but face a challenge to keep hold of striker Alexis Sánchez, who has
attracted interest from around the continent.
Everton
have been among the biggest spenders ahead of the new season, and the return of
Wayne Rooney to Goodison Park will be one of the stories to track through the
season.The
new Premier League season kicks-off on Friday, August 11 when Arsenal host
Leicester City and will air live and in HD on SS3 and Maximo1.
All-conquering
Real Madrid know they will face a huge challenge from Barcelona for the Spanish
La Liga title as they seek to retain the trophy for the first time in a decade.
It is remarkable to think that Real’s La Liga victory last season was just
their second in the previous nine seasons, and the question now is whether they
can wrestle the power away from a once dominant Barcelona on a more regular
basis as the season kicks-off on Friday 18 August on SS7 and Maximo1.
Real manager Zinedine Zidane will also be plotting another win in the UEFA
Champions League having stormed to the title last season with a 4-1 victory
over Juventus in the final.The
qualifiers for Europe’s elite club competition are under way, but the group
stages will start on September 12 as the teams vie for a place in the final at
the Olympic Stadium in Kiev on May 26, 2018.
SuperSport will also broadcast two classic European clashes early in the new
season. Mourinho will take his Manchester United team to the Philip II Arena in
Skopje, Macedonia, to have former side Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup on
August 8.
And
a few days later Real face-off against bitter rivals Barcelona in the Spanish
Super Cup, with the first leg at the Camp Nou on August 13, and the return at
the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid on August 16.
