Well, in your post
you said the case was over because of "the extent to which Athletic outplayed Manchester United".
If you are now saying that there are other reasons, then fine!
Personally, I don't really know and it's not a particularly easy argument to rationalise. The top pair in Spain look streets ahead of the top two in England. But what about, say, the bottom six? Is La Liga a better standard and more competitive throughout? Not sure if that can be judged.
I would probably lean towards La Liga right now but, as I said, last night doesn't really prove or disprove anything. If it did you could start making a case for Cypriot football's place in the pecking order.
