    Be dead good and play in a league where your team gets all of the dough and every other team bar one is a patsy.

    |Yes but they have nobody in the Champions League Final but 2 in the Euro cup final. So where does that leave the SPL.

    Barca may well get all the dough but 85% of their players still came through the ranks which even for a club their size is frightening

    That's great, but their wage bill is still higher than even Man City and the club carries a debt of around EUR500 million -simply insane.

    The Spanish League is even worse than ours in terms of skew - it's the footballing equivalent of the Harlem Globetrotters.

    Sorry but when I was 9 and in P6 at school, I scored over 400 goals at least in a year and we only got 35 mins playtime. Plus the keeper was super fat and made the goals smaller!! #imbetterthanmessi. :D

    A bit harsh on La liga. All the big leagues are seeing a handful, usually two, teams, that have the €, pulling away from the rest. England Scotland Germany Holland Spain Italy (serie a probably the best example this season, two horse race). Only Borussia Monchengladbach in germany and montpellier in France are challenging the superrich anywhere.

    Not so sure about that. For example, there have been four different league winners in both France and Germany in the last five years.

    In Spain the terrible twins have won the last 8 titles and 12 out of the last 15, and Valencia in third sit a humungous 29 points behind Barcelona in second. La Liga is a pish competition.

    Fair point given the points differential J, BUT it doesn't stop me being mesmerised and entertained by the footballing genius that is Messi
    This is how it feels

    Were 36 of those from the penalty spot?

    He'd never score that many in the EPL.

    No, because he'd be getting kicked up in the air every five minutes

    In Spain you get more time on the ball before being closed down as opposed to in the EPL where you don't get as much time. I reckon this is a factor as Messi would struggle to score when he has less time to control the ball and start his run. It shows when his scoring record against English clubs is relatively poor. Don't get me wrong, he is a fantastic player and would do well in England, but he won't ever score 72 goals in a season if he does join the EPL.

    If La Liga is so poor why is the other Euro final being contested by two Spanish teams with a third eliminated in the semi final. Have you watched Athetic Bilbao in this competition - easy draw of meeting top English Premier league teams.

    Do you not get penalties in the Premier League?
