Are you high?
Spanish football dominated the world from 2006 to 2017.
Don't make me post the stats, it's obvious.
I am not arguing about Pep's era and later with CR7.
I am saying that Spain didn't dominate pre-Pep:
2006: Barca:Arsenal 2:1
2007: Milan:Liverpool 2:1
2008: Man utd:Chelsea pens
From 2005/06 to 2008, EPL had 4 CL finalists out of 6 spots.
They even had a finalist in 2005: Liverpool:Milan pens
And in 2009: Barca:Man Utd
From 2005 to 2009 final, out of 10 finalists spots:
6 spots England
2 spots Barca
2 spots Milan
Barca did win 2 finals, but I wouldn't call it a domination, it was Barca vs several EPL teams.
That doesn't mean that La Liga dominated EPL, it only meant that BARCA dominated due to Messi-Ronaldinho-Xavi-Iniesta.
Levante and Getafe didn't raise in their quality due to Messi's header in 2009 final.
The main point is still: money usually brings success.
Our greatest players ever were expensive signings like R9, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho (except Messi who was bought as a kid).
Our revival as a club started in 2003 and 2004 when Laporta spent more than Psg today:
35-ish m on Ronaldinho, which is like 120m today
25-ish m on Etoo, which is 80-100m today
20-ish m on Deco, which is like 60-80m today
10-ish m on Guily which is like 30-40m today
Then 20-30m in today's worth for: Edmilson, Maxi Lopez or 15-20m for: Marquez, Belletti, Gio, Sylvinho etc.
That was like 400-500m invested in today's worth.
So, it is not as if our success came with being "good guys", it came from insane amount of money invested.
The question remains: what do you expect from La liga without financial power as EPL?
