well, it's not just - or even mostly - about Barca borrowing from banks
La Liga is completely rigged towards the top two. Football fans all over Spain support one or other of them. They take a huge proportion of tv and sponsorship money - far in excess of the proportions here.
So if it's a lack of competitiveness you're worried, La Liga is much more f**ked than the PL. Now and in the future.
