La Liga is the best league in the World and has dominated the Champions League and Europa League. They have won 43 of their last 50 knockout matchups against European opposition. EPL is backed up by corrupt Russian Oligarchs and Middle Eastern Oligarchs, not to mention English banks throwing $ at their clubs. By the way I'm a proud Madrista, Hala Madrid!

The Top of La Liga is very good. The two Madrid's and Barcelona are capable of winning the Champions League every season. Sevilla is always a tough draw for 4th, and Athletic Bilbao is usually a strong Europa team.

Once you get beyond those top 6 or 7 teams though, things really fall off.

I can agree with that but, IMO, the same is true with most leagues. In the case of La Liga, hopefully the new TV money sharing deal will help a little in dispersing more revenue to ALL the teams, not just the top 2.

I'm still not sure its really that close. Leicester City were a mid table club last year who hung out closer to the bottom for several months, and they still managed to take out Sevilla over two legs and hang with Athletico Madrid.
