5 reasons why the Premier League is better than La Liga

#3 Competitiveness

Swansea's victory over Liverpool summed up why the Premier League is so much fun to watch

Something that separates the Premier League significantly from La Liga is the competitiveness throughout the entire league. While the title races in both leagues seem decided this season, the relegation battle in the Premier League is closer than it is in La Liga.

While Everton, currently in 9th place, are only eight points ahead of Swansea, who sit at the bottom of the table, their respective counterparts in La Liga, Getafe and Malaga, are already 15 points apart.

What makes the Premier League more interesting in this aspect, is that seemingly anyone can beat anyone. While Swansea defeating Liverpool last week is the most recent example, Crystal Palace's recovery this season proves just how competitive this league really is.

The Eagles were at rock-bottom after losing their first seven league matches, then they beat Chelsea at home and after several strong performances, they are not even in the relegation zone at the moment.

Of course, slip-ups by top teams also happen in La Liga, Real Madrid's current campaign more than proves that, however, they are a much rarer sight than in the English top-flight. It's no coincidence, that people say there are no easy games in the Premier League.
