I’ll preface this by saying I don’t watch much LaLiga these days, so wanted to get everyone’s opinion on this.
Just watched the Barcelona vs Atletico game and while very entertaining, it looked to me like any top half Premier League team would easily dominate either side. Loads of space and misplaced passes, unorganized defending, many simple through balls or long passes lead to a scoring opportunity.
Considering these are top teams in La Liga, is the gap in quality between the two leagues getting much wider? Looking ahead with the Premier League maintaining enormous spending power over all other leagues, it will be interesting to see if this can translate to European cup domination for English teams in the foreseeable future.
You were unlucky last night. Atleti played their worse game of 2023 last night. They are much much better than they were. Few years ago RM, Barca and Atlético used to much much better than the lower and mid table laliga teams but the gap is closing and lower teams has improved a lot.
