It it no about a three way fight in any one season.

It is about knowing who will be top 2 when it begins.

There has barely been any league title race of not bewtween top 2 in Spain either but point still remains.

For you, maybe. I don't care about the names involved in the fight if there is not much fight to speak about.

Also those Europa League failures to advance cost is the Club World Cup.

Not great for the players but would have helped our FFP a wee bit.

Thats what I said and club and Xavi, players were acutely aware of that.

Those European defeats ultimately cost Barca 150m+ and being back in 1:1 by now and having far more leeway in the transfer market.

Also that defeat to Franfurt cost Barca chance of Pot1 in CL.. more reason club wanted it.

Knowing Laporta, would have spent it on Nico and still struggled to register him while having to offload someone on the last day.

Let's see them producing a 3rd winner outside of City and Liverpool. 8 years and counting.

You still dont get why Spain is called a 2 team league.

Winning CL been easier than winning EPL in last 8 years for some is the reality and x3 teams done it.

You still dont get why Spain is called a 2 team league.

It's because it's the only league where you have 2 of the biggest clubs in the world.

Yet 3 EPL teams won the CL in that 8 year time and many defeated finalists.

La Liga has two of the biggest club.. possibly the biggest but less below that.

La Liga has one team that has won and none other than has made a final.

 

[Porque]

Atleti have spent more than enough of late to have recruited a better side.

 

[ajnotkeith]

Why, because we failed to beat Inter and Bayern? Not diabolical at all. Disappointing, that's all.

Failed to beat Inter and Bayern once in 4 matches*.

That's fine. And I said this myself. But I don't see it as a disadvantage. The same way I didn't have less enjoyment from seeing Fedal era in tennis even though I knew Federer will eventually fight with Nadal for the big titles 8 times out of 10.

Were Real better than Arsenal last season in your opinion?

How can we judge say Barca v Arsenal this season?

Hard to say. Both had subpar league seasons. If not for Rice hitting the shots of his life...

Always excuses.

Arsenal battered Real those two legs and missed a penalty etc.

I would say Madrid had a better season than City.
