Then why is there no La Liga equivalent?

If the league is built for Real and Barca to succeed no matter what then you basically already have an entire country backing you. Besides, the argument was about the strength of the respective leagues, and Chelsea finished 6th and 4th the years they won it.

6 CLs in 10 years becomes a lot less impressive when you realise they're all from the same two teams that the entire league is built to maximise the output of, the ONLY two La Liga teams that have ever won it.

Who is stopping La Liga from generating more revenue?

Vinicius would drive me nuts if I were a Madrid supporter.

Even though it was only a draw I think Chelsea kinda put their cock on the table with this performance. They were with 10 men for most of the game and looked more likely to score for most of it too.

1-1

CHEW C GOAL

It's a shame because Chelsea probably looked more likely to score until that point.

Caicedo should be off for a straight red. He can be completely brain dead at times.

This ref is usually harsh on Chelsea.

I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't play at all versus Arsenal and this is just Maresca giving Arteta more preperation to do.

Aside from Chelsea, English clubs are generally irrationally loyal to their managers.

They put them on really long contracts to amortize transfer fees over a longer period. It works out better for FFP.

Saka has had some big moments for England. He's also basically flawless off the ball, which managers love. I think Saka and Gordon will the bet the starters for England, and Palmer/Madueke and Rashford will be the finishers.

To be fair in the Bayern game they concede through an own goal, a penalty, and a weird pass back mistake that Kane takes advantage of.

Doesn't that happen in every league though, it's just that the chasing pack is not good enough to make it count? Madrid and Barca have both been quite poor this season, yet they're both at the top of the league.

I think they just set-up in an unbalanced way to maximise one particular player. If not Mbappe they'll switch to Vinicius or Bellingham.
