Favorite La Liga club besides Barca?

[DonAndres]

Since most, if not all of us are regular followers of La Liga i thought it would be interesting to see which clubs are favored (aside from Barcelona of course). I'd put more poll options if i could but there is only room for 15 so i'll pick the most popular ones.


Forgot to post the poll on the first thread. Sorry about that.

I've always liked Valencia besides Barca. I also enjoyed watching the home Real Madrid matches - mainly players like Zidane, Ronaldo, Guti and more recently Ozil, Di Maria and Benzema. Very entertaining games, either in terms of goals or controversies. This season, they are really poor though and their games are dull.

Well i don't follow La Liga as much, but i like the way Atletico always have great forwards, be it Forlan, Falcao, Aguero the real deal, so i enjoy them. Also Villareal were a cool team which i liked, too bad they got relegated & lost there best players, but i enjoyed them the past few years.

None, though I like athletic a little bit.

I was born in Pamplona so my dad introduced me to Bilbao and it was a boyhood favorite of mine. Although as i started watching football more i started to prefer Barca (I couldn't help it lol). But i do follow Bilbao weekly and last year i got really excited for them since they burst into life under Bielsa and played great. Kind of like a mix of Bielsa's Chile with Barcelona's passing style. Too bad that this season Bielsa has turned the team into chaos. it's like he's Athletic's version of Mourinho. I've always been a huge fan of the Spanish NT without a doubt.

Other clubs i like are Valencia, Atletico (excited for them now as they begin to overtake Real), Celta, and Malaga ever since they were touted as the "next title contender" in la liga. Although Barcelona is first for me and Bilbao is a close second.

Used to be Villareal, back when they were playing nice football. Now, other than Barça, Betis is playing the nicest football.

None in particular. Maybe Valencia or Athletic.

But I'm always sympathetic to little clubs who achieve great results despite minimal budget, like Levante or Rayo Vallecano.

depo.

I guess Atletico or Valencia. But there aren't tactically astounding teams like Swansea in La Liga (as of yet...)

Nice poll!

I always enjoyed watching Valencia, but they've been playing badly in recent years. Simeone's Atletico have been the other watchable team in La Liga.

Honestly the only other La Liga club I watch is occasionally Getafe, and that's only because a good friend of mine is dating (on and off) one of their players, so I have to.

(And I'm going to be extremely anticlimactic here and not name the player. )
