With Barcelona; the current European and Spanish champions; leading the way in stunning, one touch football for the past few years, nobody can argue that they are the best side in the World at the moment and perhaps of all time. Real Madrid who are currently top of La Liga are starting to form an equally impressive team under Jose Mourinho and the pair of them could well be the best two teams in Europe currently, and the teams to beat in this year’s Champions League.
However, aside from the two El Classico sides, the Spanish top division is lacking in quality and competition, a definite contrast to the English Premier League, where it seems anyone can beat anyone on their day. The battle for the title in England is between at least five teams this season and it is hard to pick between Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham for the top places.
Valencia and Sevilla, closely followed by big spending Malaga are the main clubs sitting in behind the big two in Spain, but are still miles away from being competitive for a league title. As a keen watcher of Spanish football, week-in-week out I am surprisingly bored of watching the top two comfortably ease past their opponents seemingly every week, even if they do not have it all their own way from time to time they will be the top two come May. That is a point that is disappointing for football fans, knowing the final positions of teams before the season has even started.
The attacking football of La Liga is clear to see, but the domination of two clubs is boring and the style of the Premier League does include stylish football along with a physical edge and the complete package in my opinion.
The strength in depth at Manchester City; is far superior to Barcelona who fortunately but perhaps not by coincidence; seem to travel through season after season without injury problems to key players, something that is far more common in the Premier League. City would be able to field two different XI’s and still be competitive in both the Champions League and at domestic level, something that no other team in the world would be able to do.
