RE: Who is to Blame?

Yeah I know you have no qualms with the La Liga decline, but your first paragraph negates your knowledge of the La Liga decline you agree with.

I talked of how difficult it would be for City to tackle this season's Inter and you are talking about other La Liga teams who are not half as good as City. I don't think you are being sincere here.

You said you have seen the stats in my blog. Those La liga teams you said can't be easily beaten by a Liverpool for example, were in the Europa League and they have not stopped the La Liga ranking from plunging southward. Whereas an English team like Brighton(not a top team you are referring to) is doing wonders. Someone will say Brighton beat Marseille yesterday because Marseille already knew they had qualified before the game ended. Ok I would recall that Inter made plenty of changes in their penultimate match to rest players(as they were leading their CL group and Serie is so tough) and it ended in a 3–3 draw– the ultimate reason they finished 2nd, but on SAME POINTS with Sociedad.

Not just Brighton, West Ham,Liverpool. Where are the Spanish teams sir? Real Betis were beaten AT HOME by Rangers. Amazing! Rangers topped that group and Real Betis finished 3rd, so they are out. Ok Villareal is through, topping their group. But 3 English clubs are through, ALL TOPPING THEIR GROUPS.

If you read my blog well, you will notice that it says, the Spanish league has no single representative in the Conference league. That's poor.

So we can not stand here and talk only of the CL, when the EL and the ECL are also bonafide UEFA competitions(I said this in my blog, you implied you read). Infact a victory in the CL gives a team exactly same points as a victory in the ECL in the coefficient calculation.

It's unjust, to consider only the CL to get the strength of a league, UEFA doesn't even do that. The rankings are there in my blog, the Spanish league is correctly sat at 4th, despite what they have done in the CL(and they can't go higher).

There are teams that will beat La Liga teams easily, not just City.

Yeah you are correct in that. I did only take the champions league into consideration as I do not really follow the europa league or the conference league. So these are just my points of view regarding the games I enjoy watching. Yes, sure the spanish teams might be doing shit in the europa league, but I am not really talking about that as I don't even watch the europa league until the semi finals. So I'd say your point is correct.
