I think back in the day when both Real and Barca had he top teams in the world ( every year the World XI would mainly be made up of those two ) during which Pep & Jose were coaching, he’s 100 right, you would see them easily beating teams 4,5-0 and that’s how you end up with Messi and Ronaldo scoring 40+ goals in a league every season. At a certain point that changed, probably the end of the decade beginning of this one when most of those generational stars left and the teams have started to rebuild, now La Liga is more fair ( way more fair I don’t even remember the last time Barca or Madrid won 5-0 against a team it used to happen on a weekly basis back then ) it’s more equal, and you even have teams that are in the come up more often now
They are bad players expect maybe a couple, it’s a miracle he qualified to the UCL this season let alone he’s supposed to compete with City
