La Liga has not been that exciting over the years. This season the main three teams are playing snakes and ladder up top with unexpected turns week in week out.
The One Team Dominance TRADITION
For years in the Spanish League, only one team dominates the whole league race and takes the trophy home giving no chance for the other teams to give a tough fight. This made La Liga boring and many called it a farmer’s league with no fun. Many people got disinterested in the League knowing the regular winners from start of the season. It became sort of tradition, the team who started off the League well will take the victory.
The two main names in this race were FC Barcelona and Real Madrid with Atletico Madrid also getting the taste of the league for few seasons only. The only thing which made the League interesting was the Messi V Ronaldo debate and the fiery El Classico games. La Liga became an underrated League compared to English Premier League due to boring League Race, but this season things are bit different.Â
2024-25 La Liga Race This season
This season’s La Liga race is full of unexpected moments, we have a new top 3 every week with Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid giving each other a great push. Â
Barcelona started the season with a blistering start, setting the tone as serious contenders domestically. Barcelona had a dream start like this after years and were consistent throughout. The performances on the pitch completely justified the results of the matches. The fans were quite excited and over-hyped for the rest of the season. November and December were the months ones to forget for Barcelona fans.
Barcelona only managed to win one La Liga game out of nine, squandering a nine-point lead over Real Madrid to end the year in third place. This period had Barcelona fans thinking, after three consecutive home defeats to Las Palmas, Leganes, and Atletico Madrid. Barcelona fans thought they would start the year 2025 on a positive note in the league, but despite Barcelonaâs blistering performances in the Super Cup and Copa Del Rey Barcelona once again dropped points in La Liga. Â
Later in January Real Madrid regained their form and were leading La Liga. This excited many Real Madrid fans and had them thinking that they will win the league as the gap was impossible to close for Barcelona who dropped to 3rd place. Real Madrid had a 10 point lead over Barcelona in La Liga on Match-day 21, they lost crucial points against Espanyol and Atlético Madrid on Match-day 22 and 23, closing the gap to 2 points with Barcelona, who are 3rd.
Right now this title race can go in anyone’s hand, with Atletico remaining at 2nd place for whole time. In my opinion, if Barcelona continue to perform the way they are no one can stop them from winning the league. What do you guys think? Let me know in the comment section below.
