An Early Clásico

For those looking for a basketball fix tomorrow, you may want to check out the final of Spain's "Supercopa", a preseason competition which will see Barcelona and Real Madrid face each other for the first time with their new look squads. Even though it's not a greatly meaningful trophy, these teams will be looking to make a statement as the ACB/Euroleague season is about to get underway. These look to be two of the four or five strongest teams outside the NBA (better than a few NBA teams, I'd say), and it should be a rather exciting matchup, with plenty of interesting subplots (if the "Madrid-Barcelona" thing isn't enough for you).
