Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Mon, 09/14/2009 - 09:32

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique isn't surprised by the massive spending of Real Madrid.

"They made a big investment because it was needed," said the former Manchester United defender. "They needed to sign players because their rival won the treble, every title and so they have invested in their squad. They've signed players to achieve a change of pace and to try to win back a title.

"People say the Liga will be between Real and Barca. That is the feeling that everybody has, but in football anything can happen and another team can step into the fight for the title.

"But for team investment and budget, Barca and Madrid are the candidates for the title."
