Didn't Villarreal just make it to the champions League final? Hasn't Madrid won a majority of CL over the past decade?, even a shitty Barcelona made it two CL SF, Sevilla always represents themselves well in Europe.
Competitively it's not as bad as some folks make out, who always try to praise EPL and make it seems as if la Liga is some dog crap football league even though the facts would say different.
Sure no one can compete with epl financially, but that's like saying Larry page can't compete with Elon musk financially, its staying the obvious, just saying something for the sake of it..
So competitively it's no where as bad as some folk make it out to be, where the distance is massive is commerically and thats were the idiot tebas is fucking up, talking shit about the French league only getting 70m for their international broadcasting rights, while la Liga made a billion, but ignores how the EPL is eating everyone for breakfast and is is doing nothing new & interesting to close the gap, he is a man that likes to punch down to make himself look good, but he fails to really move the needle.
Instead he is using is own personally vendetta against Barcelona to try & bury them deeper in the hole they are already in, actively trying to destroy one of if not your biggiest money maker is the dumbest shit I've ever seen from the head of any league do.
So go conclude, la Liga teams through good transfer tragedies, good talent base, good coaching if not name broad coaching, is not as far off competitively as some folk would like to have us believe, facts just doesn't bare that out, only fake news does.
But commercially la liga is fucked and is Not help by the man who is suppose to be fixing it.
PS some ppl who are now talking about the cvc deal being bad are the same ones who were saying it's not that horrible when news first broke.
