This guy is getting Michael Jordan treatment.....without the actual Championships. La Liga is a joke



He's won the champions league twice, not an easy task. I keep hearing about how la liga is a joke. Why? All of their teams Valencia, Malaga, Barcelona, and Madrid moved on to the next round of champions league. La Liga does well in Europa League too. Last years semifinals had A. Madrid, Valencia, and A. Bilbao. Barcelona has to compete with Madrid for La Liga, whom many consider one of the top 3 clubs in the world. Tell me what other league Barcelona wouldn't be a favorite to win? Maybe Bayern would give them a run in Budesliga, but Barcelona would be the hands down favorite in every league in the world.

Also La Liga is a joke because only 2 clubs contend? Isn't that the case everywhere? EPL has become the Madrid derby with the fall of clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool. Looks like only Chelsea might challenge them in the next few years. Bayern has a huge lead in the Bundesliga and that league is dominated by them and Dortmund. Juventus won the title undefeated last season in Italy. France is all about Lyon and big spending PSG. Poerugal is dominated by Benefica and Porto.

To take away from what Messi and Barcelona does is the joke here, not la Liga.


Lets be honest here, Messi's goals are a little inflated due to playing in Barcelona and La Liga. La Liga is a pretty below average league, especially considering that Barca has some of the best players in the world on the team. Not taking anything from Messi, he is a monster, but no way does he put up these stats on another club or in another league and he is yet to perform at an elite level on the international stage

How exactly is La Liga a pretty below average league? Please don't say the cliche that because Barcelona and Madrid are so much better than everyone else. I will agree that Messi's and Ronaldo's goal tallies are inflated due to them playing for loaded teams, but they would both still dominate any other league in the world.

22 year old C Ronaldo managed to scored 42 goals in England :dontknow:

Their hauls the past few years may be slightly inflated, but Ronaldo/Messi would score 50-60+ in any league in the world

Thank you. At least someone else is realizing that he has flopped again and again in big games for the last two years.

He scored 2 in "el clasico" earlier this year. He also scored in the CL final against Man U. He scored in the Copa Del Rey final against Madrid even though he lost. Come on, Messi is not a choker.
