Actually, before we do, we should talk about Santi Cazorla.
He did a little tweet that got misinterpreted slightly, but massively.
The truth is La Liga is light years behind in all ways, right?
Yeah, it got translated as saying La Liga is light years ahead.
Yeah, yeah.
Light years ahead of the Premier League.
And people were going, well, why is he coming on that?
Spanish football, La Liga, I think now we've reached a period where it's probably been overtaken by Premier League, just looking at European football.
I think that's the best judge of it.
But prior to that for 10, 15 years or so,
La Liga was very dominant in European competition, not just with Real Madrid constantly winning the Champions League, but also Europa League wins.
Pretty much everyone was a Spanish club.
But I think they're talking maybe a little bit about more the overall depth, perhaps, in La Liga.
So, yeah, different styles of football as well.
Doesn't make one better than the other.
La Liga is very technical.
Most teams play the same.
Premier League, certainly more dynamic, certainly more physical and not quite as technical overall.
But yeah, there are differences and they're both great leagues and that's why we enjoy covering them.
You can do a bit more now with your customary brilliant roundups.
