Such a sad result for the first time in the new century.
Three clubs completed the fight for the European Cup
Tebas is a politician to manipulate. The president of La Liga reveals how many European competitions the Spaniards have won in the last ten years. But Xavi and the companies are asking a specific question. Right now Premier League and La Liga on par? They reply that they believe in equality, but they don’t. We also get an unambiguous answer to the question, is Primera degrading from year to year? Of course, any Spanish football expert has already written about it. The quality in La Liga has decreased. This is not a conclusion after departure Barcelona, Sevilla and Atlético in the group stage of the Champions League, but a similar setback underlines the above. The Catalans were able to lead “Inter”, the seventh team of the Italian season. And Simeone’s gang did not score a penalty in the last seconds of the decisive match against the 15th club of the Budesliga. And Sevilla are in 16th place at home, their entry into the Europa League play-offs can be called a success, which globally is like a failure for all Spanish football.
A great generation has gone and the losses are ahead again
Simeone cannot help but be himself and radically change Atlético. Betis cannot jump over their heads and be successful in Europe, like their neighbors in Seville. At Villarreal all forces can go to European competitions, but they won’t show anything at home. Real Sociedad are doing well now, but not better than Chelsea, who are in the running for fourth place in the standings in England. And above all, Real Madrid and Barcelona are experiencing a generational change. They have it in different stages, because the fighting mosquitoes Xavi, Puyol and Iniesta are older than Modric, Kroos and Casemiro. But even Messi and Benzema, peers, are long-time veterans. Lionel has left Spain and Karim will be babysitting the models in a couple of years. “Real” and “Barcelona” were preparing for a change of generations, but understand that such a period cannot pass without a decline in the game. It is no joke, even the eternal king of Europe, Ancelotti, can be defeated by Shakhtar and lose to Leipzig. In the spring in the playoffs, Courtois was not bored against the giants. Spanish clubs no longer dictate world tactical trends, the golden years with Messi and Ronaldo behind them. That doesn’t mean Real Madrid won’t win in the spring Champions League again and again, but it’s clear why now for the first time in the 21st century in the playoffs Champions League only one Spanish club.
The young stars will choose other leagues
Why didn’t Mane go to Real Madrid or Barcelona? Obviously Federico Valverde can play in the center of the field for the Blancos, and the Senegalese on the right wing, not only on the left. But Sadio chose Bayern. Even a bad start did not stop Nagelsmann from approaching first place in the Bundesliga. And in the Champions League, Mane, with the support of Mazraoui and Davis, proves that the German champion is one of the main favorites of the season. But this is Mane, who has many years, did not dream of La Liga. And then there is Mbappé, who refused to move to Real Madrid. Now he will look for a way out Premier League. And Haaland, even though he told a fan on vacation that he was going to La Liga, wagged his tail and ended up in Manchester. Players of different ages show that the move to Real Madrid and Barcelona is no longer an end in itself. Yes, Lewandowski has fulfilled a childhood dream, but Haaland’s generation will turn their backs on La Liga if current trends worsen. Premier League they are all more attractive. Erling Helping Manchester City and he certainly does not regret having chosen Guardiola’s team.
It will be harder for Spanish clubs to make money
All ideas with round trip tours United States of America and Canada, four Super Cup matches abroad and other tricks: Tebas’s attempt to prevent what already happened with Barcelona in La Liga. The Catalans lived beyond their means, the result was a financial failure, which is covered by the sale of assets, which then in Uefa can be called illegal. Inspections are insistent not only in PSG. Barcelona is the property of violent Catalonia, they will be dragged out of the financial swamp until the end. But what happens next? What is the attraction of La Liga outside of El Clasico? TO Premier League there is a top 7 after the appearance of the Newcastle billionaire. And believe me, if the “forty” have competent transfers, they will light up in the Champions League in a couple of years. And they will certainly find fans overseas, as they have gained support from Chelsea and Manchester City. Manchester UnitedArsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham will also not fall from the list of the richest clubs in the world. Wealthy Spaniards have clung to the Super League because they feel like the Brits are breaking away. And all the other clubs in La Liga, on the contrary, protest against such an idea: they need investments, since millions of people around the world are not in love with Atletico, like Liverpool or Manchester United.
New fans will fall in love with others
Atlético, by virtue of style, and Sevilla, by virtue of limited finances, which have led to a series of sales and recessions, will never compete in terms of attractiveness to fans even with PSG – there, the three in attack became a magnet, not to mention the giants Premier League with their wild popularity with a century of exposure. And where there is a shortage of money, there is a shortage of the brightest newcomers. Real Madrid stands out, as Zidane used to collect cups with the same team, which gave Perez time to gradually saturate the application with cool youngsters. But Barcelona took everyone for extravagant money and flew into the Europa League. Will Xavi’s team be as loved as Enrique’s seven years ago? Hardly. And if you extend the scores to the entire La Liga, the well-deserved compliments to Catalans and Castilians for the great history of the new century do not cancel the criticisms of everyone else at this moment. The middle peasants in Spain are adorable, like Villarreal, Emery was in the semifinals Champions League spring. And he went to coach Aston Villa, because they are richer, and Premier League an incredibly interesting championship for any manager. Let’s see how the British have acted competently. They hired great coaches. They adapted the teams for themselves, they modernized them. The British League seems more powerful than all the others and more holistic. Furthermore, the Spaniards themselves are asking for confrontation and opposition. They call and forgive in a dispute. And if Mbappé, Bellingham and the rest are added to Holland talented young people, then they can detach even more.
