Tremendous blow on the table of Spanish football in yesterday’s Champions League match. Real Madrid and Villarreal beat two of the most powerful rivals on the European scene with relative solvency.
Villarreal’s score was not excessively long, but everyone who watched the match could say that it fell short. The groguet team beat Bayern in all facets of the game, but the yellows’ lack of aim prevented the tie from being practically resolved in the first leg.
Real Madrid passed over Chelsea during the first half. Even scoring just two goals in those 45 minutes was more of a relief for Chelsea than a cause for celebration for Real Madrid. During the second half, the Whites dedicated themselves to defending the result a little more, but at the end of the ninety minutes they are fair winners.
It is true that Spanish football is no longer as attractive as it was a few years ago, as Real Madrid and Barcelona have been dominating the European scene for more than a decade. In addition, in the last years of this domain, Atlético de Madrid joined with its two Champions League finals, displaying attractive football in its own way.
Today there are other teams like Liverpool, PSG, Bayern or Manchester City that can draw more attention to the average fan, which has made many people gradually forget about the Spanish league.
Well, the act of vindication that Real Madrid and Villarreal have carried out this week is a blow to the table of the Spanish teams. It doesn’t seem far from utopian that the European Super Cup is played by two teams from our league.
In short, La Liga is surely not the best in the world, but we are not as bad as others paint. Spanish football is back to stay.
