A new Barcelona season is upon us with the La Liga opener against Getafe on Sunday.
The market remains open and there’s plenty of work to be done, but the squad is starting to take shape.

Ready or not, Xavi Hernández and his men must hit the ground running.
The following season preview seeks to evaluate how prepared they are.
