Yes, that's what we all want. To be honest, LaLiga is underrated compared to EPL. Barcelona drew against Rayo, and Madrid lost many times against the relegation zone teams. Villareal won Europa. Cucurella was an outcast who seemed to be a star in EPL. It's all media doing. The title race is always between two teams in EPL for the last few seasons.

If the EPL was that great their top teams will win the Champions League every single year. What they have compared to other leagues is a very functioning media. EPL is the most watched league in the world, every one is talking about them.
I do enjoy Bundesliga matches compared to a lot of EPL matches, but very few people outside Germany watches the German league.
Javier Tebas has done well with the way he marketed the El Clasico. Losing Messi and Ronaldo definitely affected the league.
Barcelona and Madrid is too big for other Spanish team now the same goes for Mancity and Liverpool (not totally) in England. To keep the balance Chelsea and Arsenal and Spurs are thriving and Manu will join soon. But the same can't happen in LaLiga. If you put Elclasico madness in England same will happen in England because they are too big for players and supporters. Everyone wants to taste that glory.
Due to the global acceptance of the EPL, their clubs are worth a fortune. So, investors are buying their clubs just to get a slice of the broadcasting money. If you check the top 20 richest clubs in the world, you'll have at least 6 from EPL. Thus, mid-table teams can afford to buy talented players. In La Liga, Barca, Madrid, and to a lesser extent, Atletico are the only rich teams.
You are on point, and that makes the difference. Sevilla and Valencia are also investing. I hope that works out well.
The financial gap those teams have to bridge to Barca and Madrid is huge. In EPL, you can hardly take a player off a top 6 team except the club wishes to sell. La Liga, Barca and Madrid takes whichever player they want from any other team except Real and Atleti.
I eagerly await ATM, Sevilla, and Villareal to strike this season.
Considering how good these teams have performed in Europe in recent years, they are very good teams. But, the fact they need Barca and Madrid to have terrible seasons so as to crack the top 2 is the real indication of the gap in La Liga.
