This question came into mind after seeing how RM won their 1st
title in four years. Of course i'm no RM hater and credit to them
for showing that fighting spirit all the way until the end,
claiming back their title in an exciting fashion, right down to the
wire.
But throughout the season, their season has been dogged by patches
of inconsistency. Although that will certainly kill off any title
chasing team in EPL and Serie A(Prior to the match fixing scandal
of course), Real still managed to bring back the La Liga title.This
is also mainly due to the fact that the rest of the title chasing
teams have dropped numerous points as well. Could it be more of a
case like Real won the title not so much as they were good, but
more of that simply because the other title challengers are much
worse off than them?
76 points is all they garnered for RM's title winning season.
In contrast Roma got 75 in 2nd place and Inter unsurprisingly won
their Scudetto with 97 points.This meant that they still can win
most of their games convincingly.
Man Utd need 89 points to reclaim their EPL title, while Chelsea in
2nd place have got 83.
So is it a case of the top La Liga teams' quality declining, or is
their league just too difficult to win most of their games
convincingly?
