So we are not gonna act that those 'La Liga' clubs are not basically Real and Barca, trying to make it sound its a variety of different clubs haha Real and Barca are two of the best clubs in the world no doubt, but they also have that constancy of winning week in week out and winning mentality because they win most weeks in their league... EPL teams have to pick themselves up after losing or drawing to eachother or teams like Liverpool, Southampton, Leicester or City etc not to mention those EPL games are physically and mentally tiring...

Real got ethered left and right this season in la Liga but still managed to knock out PSG. On the surface it might look like a 2/3 horse race but the clubs outside the top 2/3 are still superb pro teams. Teams that give barca, real n atleti hell and often get the best of em...even the low tier teams like Girona can beat the top la liga teams...Getafe is also a bitch to play against for any squad in Europe....So yeah the prem is more competitve but the game level isnt higher than la liga.

The way Sevilla and Man U both performed the past 5 seasons there really is no reason to believe man U is the better squad (sans the name/history). Like Arsenal fans in the beginning of their prem drought, man U fans need to get accustomed to the current reality. It's 2018 now fam...not 2012 lol.
 
And Jose might not have it anymore, no shame in it, weve seen it happen to Van Gaal and countless others but he needs to adapt aswell. Cant get away with mere counter football anymore unless youre Juve and have killers in your squad...which united lacks. If he had a plan B - offensive system - planted into the squad - and could switch up during games man u could he unstoppable.

Even Pep knows when to fall back and park the bus at times. Shit even Juve can switch up and dominate games with the ball in possession...

Exactly. Not easy to play at Real Sociedad or Bilbao. Villareal and Valencia are tough outs.

Yeah thats what Im saying, because they knew they were never gonna get in the CL... We may of gotten beaten by Bilbao, so what??? Theyve beaten Barca before with 9 men, I think last season... My point is Fergie's main concern was the EPL and CL...

Bro, the top 3 are the same... Barca have 72 points (unbeaten), A.Madrid (lost 2) on 64 and Real on 57 and Real and Barca are on a rebuilding process, Ronny is getting on, Bale is injury prone imo and been out, they have huge amounts of money so the gap will be huge again once they who they want... PSG didnt have Neymar so they are fckd...

Completely missing the point Spain's top tier teams are better than ours especially right now.

Their second tier teams are far better than ours spurs fulham Boro Everton liverpool etc didn't say I don't want to win this trophy they just couldn't.

And the Spanish teams have dominated it for so long now

Prem is definitely the more exciting league but that's it.

Yeah Real and Barca are, prolly A.Madrid too... But on a week in week out basis we dont know what would happen... I would actually like to see how EPL's and La Liga's 8-12 positioned teams would do in a mini league...
