History
The La Liga is a football league that was born and raised in Spain and continues to operate successfully there. Inside Spain, it is commonly known as the Primera Division (First division) of the Liga Nacional de Futbal Professional (LFP). The La Liga was formed in 1929 with just ten teams and started out as a knockout tournament. Real Madrid, Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao are amongst the founding members still successfully active today. Real Madrid leads the board with the most number of championships won followed by Barcelona and for anyone who follows the league regularly, it is common knowledge that these teams mostly play in sold out stadiums almost always and the matches they play are extremely competitive. This is a football league that is amongst the most popular in the world and according to different surveys about its popularity; it ranks among the highest in Europe and the rest of the world and is at the very top of the list in Spain.
Features
For the past three seasons, Barcelona has been winning the La Liga consecutively. Initially Barcelona and Real Madrid dominated the tournament for quite a while but recently the “Big Two” as they are termed, has been facing serious competition from other teams who have really enhanced their game to compete against these two giants. For a football league to reach this stature and level is quite an achievement and that cannot be ignored no matter which angle you look at it form. For football lovers, there exists a strong distinction between the EPL (English Premier League) and the La Liga (these two are among the top leagues in Europe and the world, with the German Bundesliga in the same ranks in Europe) which is that in the La Liga, the game is relatively quicker, more competitive and more creative.
