La Liga: Not Just About Real Madrid and Barcelona (Despite What They'd Like You to Believe)August 31, 2010 (16:37) [ Indexed from A Football Report ] by Elizabeth Hanchett, writing from New York
When Spain won the World Cup last month in South Africa, one of the first things out of my dads mouth as we were sitting around the dining room table, pouring out the celebratory Spanish wine, was that hopefully this would get more people interested in Spanish football, especially La Liga. My sister responded with the complaint that because Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are the only teams people know about and theyre the only ones who win the Spanish league anymore, the league itself is not going to be winning any new fans. My sister is a die-hard Sevillista.
And the truth is, even though I support Barcelona, shes right. Unlike the English Premiere League, Spains La Liga only has two dominant clubs, the rest are lucky if they can get a spot in the top two (the last time was in the 2007-08 season, when Villarreal took advantage of a weak Barcelona side and finished secondright behind Real Madrid). It does kind of take the fun out of watching the league, even if my team does end up carrying a trophy home.

By Dominic Vieira, writing from Portugal
Barcelona hit 4 past Sevilla to conquer their 9th Spanish Super Cup title. The Super Messiah was the star of the show netting a hat-trick, but the whole team played an influential role in the goals. Last night was a Blaugrana team victory, not a Messi victory.
Barcelona overturned their 2-01st leg defeat in trademark style with Puyol, Iniesta, Ibrahimovic and Villa starting on the bench. From kick-off they dominated against a poor Sevilla side which rested some key players. The home side circulated the ball in their typical tiki-taka style with a fastrhythm,Pedro exploded down the right flank flying past 3 defenders to cross the ball which Konko unfortunately hit past his own keeper. The goal scored in the 13th minute and was a glimpse of what was yet to come.
