Serie A v La Liga: Observations

I just watched highlights of Real Madrid and Barcelona who both won by 4 goals each this weekend (6-2 and 4-0). This should come as no shock to anyone but it help by think of La Liga as a league of two New York Yankees. I know the league structures in Europe are extremely different from the US in that each league is absolutely dominated throughout its history by only 4 teams. Certainly Serie A is no exception but at least the title race is remotely competitive with the two Roman clubs every now and then. And as we see this week (with a review to come tomorrow), the race is still not closed by February, especially if Milan win midweek which would cut the lead to 4. I'm not trying to say La Liga is the Scottish PL, but when your two main clubs are drubbing opponents with milti-goal wins week in and week out, the legitimacy of the league has to come into some kind of question.
