There has been a lot to be excited about from this year’s La Liga campaign. Even removing the drama, theatrics, and otherworldly football from Barcelona and Real Madrid, there’s been much to admire from Spanish clubs this season.
From Athletic Bilbao’s performances against Manchester United, to Levante grabbing hold of many more hearts as they topped the league table for the first time in their history. The Europa League winners Atletico Madrid have also proven the quality in the teams and certain players across Spanish football, as Spain dominated the competition’s semi-final.
Defending European Champions, World Champions, and stretching down to U21 level where the country also hold the European Championship, there is quality in abundance in La Liga, if you know where to look.
The performances of Rayo Vallecano have rightfully been praised. The seemingly relentless attacking of Bilbao has mirrored the example Madrid and Barcelona have set, and even Valencia managed to go away to Stoke in the Europa League and get a victory.
Spanish football is far from the one dimensional league that so many proclaim it to be, with many clubs boasting excellent players who are often masked by the exploits of Messi and Ronaldo. Most of whom would be very good additions to many Premier League clubs.
