Since the league was established in 1929, football betting sites singapore nine different clubs have won the coveted title with a host of smaller clubs also coming close. Aside from Real Madrid and Barcelona, no other team has won the competition more than twice.
The top four teams are the same each season, with the exception of a playoff for the runners-up position which is contested by the fourth and fifth place sides from each division. Unlike most other European leagues, LaLiga is decided on points rather than head-to-head record.
Despite this, there are still plenty of surprises. The most recent one being Atletico Madrid who beat both Real and Barcelona in a season which was not particularly strong for either of them.
They were a relatively low-budget team operating on a tiny budget yet managed to produce a side which was much stronger than both the Barcelona and Real sides of that time. It was a truly remarkable achievement which also saw them go agonisingly close to winning the Champions League with a draw at Camp Nou on the final weekend of the season.
They were helped by the goalkeeping of Thibaut Courtois and midfield maestro Luka Modric along with the goalscoring prowess of Karim Benzema who became the most successful forward in La Liga history, taking over the treble from Lionel Messi. The win also makes Carlo Ancelotti the first manager to win titles in each of Europe’s five major leagues and he is now the only coach to have won the European Cup four times.
