Spanish La Liga
The Primera División, also known as La Liga, is the top tier league of Spanish club football. The league was founded in 1929 with 10 founding clubs. Today 20 clubs take part in the league each season, with the top 4 teams qualifying for the UEFA Champions League.
The most successful club in the history of La Liga is Real Madrid, which has won the title 34 times. Barcelona FC follows with 26 league titles to its name. The two teams have dominated Spanish football since the league’s inception and are both regarded as two of the greatest clubs in the world. Their hegemony has been challenged by Atletico Madrid, who won 2 titles during the last ten seasons, the most recent after the 2020-21 season. The 2013-14 title was followed by a spectacular run at the UEFA Champions League, during which Atletico reached the final, knocking out football giants, FC Barcelona amongst them, only to lose the final to its biggest rival, Real Madrid.
The match between the league's most decorated clubs is known as the "El Classico" and is one of the top sports events in Spain, Europe and the globe, mostly due to the fact that the biggest talents in world football play for these clubs.
Another club that has won the league in the 21st century besides Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and FC Barcelona is Valencia, who won two Primera División titles in 2002 and 2004. But Valencia has since failed to achieve further success, falling behind with the likes of Atlético Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla and Real Sociedad as the league’s other top teams.
The record win in La Liga history was Athletic Bilbao’s 12-1 victory over FC Barcelona in the 1930’s. The all-time top scorer in La Liga is Lionel Messi who scored 474 goals in 520 appearances for Barcelona between 2004-2021. 2nd is Christiano Ronaldo with 311 goals in 292 matches for Real Madrid between 2009-2018. Telmo Zarra is 3rd on the all-time list, with an astonishing 252 goals for Athletic Bilbao. Messi also has the record of scoring most goals in a season with 50(!!) in the 2011-2012 season.
