On another note, lots of politics on display during the match. This was a Catalan derby and apparently Madrid raided Catalan offices last week leading to lots of independence chants and rampant waiving of the pro-independence estelada flag.

Which begs the question, if they so,it what will happen? Do they form their own league and hope Barca can secure them decent enough TV deals? Do they join France and almost instantly have that league bypass La Liga?

I for one think Portugal, Spain, and France at least should combine into one system since all three only have a few notable teams anyone cares about.

La Liga is more popular in Latin America than the EPL. I am not a fan of the EPL, I watch La Liga and the Bundesliga because their style of soccer is much superior. Fox is not showing the PSG Bayern Munich game tomorrow because they have to satisfy the EPL fans.
