Most of the time despite how hard these other teams try, they still end up being inferior to these elite teams, if let's say they play 20 times, 15 times out of this figure the big teams will win the other 5 times is football been football where there are set backs for the big teams. Even before the match, I knew Barcelona will never play with them the way Real Madrid did in the Copa Del Rey last week. I knew Barcelona will run riot on them especially when they are seeing 1st on sight.
This is the fate of small teams in Spain. They lose most of their matches against teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, but the matches they win are great matches for them. These surprising results are what determine the champion in the Spanish league. This year Barcelona started the league very well and was doing really well. They lost a lot of points to small teams one after another and then they gave up the leadership. However, we see that they are the leaders again and Real Madrid started to lose points. That is why the Spanish league is good, every team is open to surprises.
I think it's almost in every league where small teams lose out to the big ones and the big ones when they face themselves battle it out for supremacy. Yeah Barcelona started off very well at the beginning of the season and somehow fell out of course but right now, they are back on track, from the third position of which they found themselves after the slip up, they are now table toppers and Real Madrid has fallen to third were they where during part of the season. It now looks as if both Real Madrid and Barcelona are swapping positions.
