Regarding la liga's decline, I both agree and disagree. Yes, watching games in La liga isn't as entertaining as before...the refereeing is absolutely horrendous.

But how many teams from other top european leagues right now except Manchester City (and maybe Arsenal) can actually confidently take on any of the top 5-6 La liga teams and beat them comfortably. So maybe the football isn’t as eye soothing as before, but it sure is effective.
