So the La Liga season is over. I can't say I would have noticed if it wasn't for all the news about Barcelona winning the title.
Position | Team | Points |
1 | FC Barcelona | 99 |
2 | Real Madrid | 96 |
3 | Valencia CF | 71 |
4 | Sevilla CF | 63 |
That, is how the top four finished. 25 points between Real Madrid and Valencia. This is a regular occurrence in the Spanish league, with the top two clubs, Barcelona and Real Madrid sharing the title between the two of them.
Whereas this is how the English league ended:
Position | Team | Points |
1 | Chelsea | 86 |
2 | Manchester United | 85 |
3 | Arsenal | 75 |
4 | Tottenham | 70 |
5 | Manchester City | 67 |
6 | Aston Villa | 64 |
7 | Liverpool | 63 |
I think you'll agree, there is much less in it, with other teams having the potential to do better next season.
The two top clubs have fantastic players, such as Messi and Ronaldo, and they both have millions to spend - picking and choosing who the best players are and throwing money at smaller clubs to get what they want.
There is no chance at all that another club in the La Liga will be able to challenge for the title for a long time - if ever.
Outside the top two, on the whole there is no competitiveness, no excitement and, well no point.
Do you agree?
