Atletico Madrid’s President: I think the Super League(SL) is good for Spanish football. With there being no SL, the English have won and Proof of this is that they have taken all the best players.

Perhaps stop beating the super league drum and address the shortcomings of your league.
I’m not saying this is all they need to do, but what they need to do is reorganize their licensing like the prem did. Get control of Real and Barca(especially Barca) and promote the product massively in Spanish speaking countries. Prem was equal with Spain up until they got the second BIG deal with the US and NBC once that happened it was over.
I dont disagree specifically with what he’s saying. He has a point, but the SL isn’t the answer, even with the PL being a de facto SL.
All that being said, I dont remember La Liga complaining circa 2008 to ≈ 2016 when a Ronaldo/Messi lead La Liga was kicking the shit out of everyone else and taking everyone else’s best players.
Arsenal lost so many players to Barcelona that they may as well have relocated the runway for London to Barcelona flights to N7.
All moves in cycles. PL will fall back down again eventually. Apart from anything else, La Liga didn’t do an awful lot to protect themselves from falling away
Half the biggest clubs in Europe were founded by posh English lads abroad who wanted a kickabout when cricket season was over
Atletico started as a branch of Athletic (English name) Bilbao which was founded by British workers and Basque students studying in England
Football’s kind of our thing so it’s a bit of a cheek to complain we’re doing it better than everyone else, consider it a gift and be grateful!
