Its about time some Spanish sides kick some EPL ass. I expect both Barca and Atletico to beat these average EPL sides and make the fight in CL as it should be. Atletico, Barca, and Madrid vs City, Arsenal, and Liverpool. Best in each league vs best in the other league.

Losing vs likes of Newcastle and Tottenham would be quite shite for La Liga's image.

Don't even know if it matters much though since EPL sides are managed by Spanish managers. It's like Spanish football vs Spanish football with more money relocated in UK.

Worlds Superleague.

Its why Perez and Laporta pushed for European one.

But Barca managed by a German anyway and Atletico by and Argie so it is what it is.

Atletico got spanked hard by two EPL sides this season losing both matches comfortably with an aggregate score of 2 scored and 7 conceded vs. LFC and Arsenal, this while they were able to manita Madrid 5-0 and also beat Barca 4-0.

That alone says it all about the gap between top EPL sides and top La Liga sides of today...

Newcastle who also drew Q$G not long ago isnt' that easy of an enamy for Barca as we already saw at St. James Park when the two met.
