Today in my third blog I will be talking to you about another one of the top five leagues in the world- La Liga Santander. This is the Spanish league. UEFA have called it the top league in the world for the last five years with Barcelona and Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid dominating.
As La Liga entered a new era in the 2000s, there was a shift in the standings. Between 1993 and 2004 Deportivo la Coruna finished the season in the top three ten times. This was topped off by a La Liga title in 2000. Real Madrid answered by winning the league in 2001 and 2003 but also won the champions league in 2000 and 2002. However they were being challenged by a strong Valencia side that ended up as the champions league runners up for both 2001 and 2002. They then won La Liga in 2002 and won the double in 2004.
In the 2004/05 season Barcelona were inspired by the brilliance of Ronaldinho to winning their first La Liga title of the 2000s which led them on to completing the Champions League/ La Liga double in the 2005/06 season. It was then Real Madrid's turn for success as they won La Liga for the next two years before Pep Guardiolas Barcelona won La Liga for three years in a row thanks to players like Messi and Xavi. In 2010 three teams emerged as the three biggest clubs in Spain. They were Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Over the next few years it was a constant battle between the three teams for the prestigious title of winning the La Liga.
