Each team participates in two matches, a home game and an away one, granting 38 matches to each team during a year. They compete to be awarded points towards their league total, with the winning team receiving three, the losing zero, and a draw results in a single point being granted to each team. 

 

Founded in 1929, La Liga is widely recognized for its competitiveness, as well as the successes of Spanish football clubs, players, and coaches in European competitions. Its most prominent fame comes from the most recognized teams in their portfolio, Real Madrid, and Barcelona. 

 

With the league’s core value being the provision of entertainment to its viewers, it is equipped with top-notch audiovisual equipment that will allow you to feel like you’re physically on the stadium when watching a LaLiga live football stream. 

 

Basic La Liga Facts

 

The most famous and iconic event held twice a year by La Liga is the matches between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, commonly known as “El Clasico”. Those are not only encompassed by thousands of fans filling up the stadium (well, at least they used to) but are also prominently known for gamblers betting substantial funds on the predicted scores of the fixture. 

History:

La Liga is the first division of the Spanish national football league, founded in 1929. In only six years, the association has quickly expanded to 12 clubs by 1934. By 1936, two football seasons had to be canceled due to the Spanish Civil War. However, this did not stop the organization from reaching its full potential, with the league quickly restoring its stability by 1939. 

 

Today, the headquarters of LaLiga is located in the Spanish capital of Madrid. Since its beginnings, the league has had steady growth, securing 20 clubs only five decades after its creation. During the 1995 to 1997 period, it consisted of 22 clubs; however, after 1997, it returned to its original format. 

 

Statistics:

Real Madrid has won the La Liga title for a record number of 34th times, followed shortly by FC Barcelona, who has secured 26 titles under its belt. Also qualifying for the podium, with an equally impressive, yet smaller amount of La Liga titles, is the Madrid based club of Atlético Madrid, which managed to secure the title a total of 10 times.

 

Those three clubs are not only prominent in its success in securing the championship, but each one of them has also participated in the Primera División a total of 88 times, within the 1929-2019 period. 

 

In 2013 Javier Tebas became the division’s president, which has propelled the tremendous international growth that La Liga has experienced. This is probably best exemplified by the Spanish Super Cup, which has been played on Saudi Arabian grounds for the past two years. 

 

La Liga Stadiums: 

Being the top-flight league of Spanish football means that the association requires large venues to host the fans. Even though some of the stadiums are much larger than others, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s easy to get a ticket to attend one of the more prestigious matches. The 2016-17 season has shattered the Spanish fan attendance record, with the whopping number of 14,052,134 fans having attended the Spanish league matches.  

 

Even though most of the La Liga teams bring in vast amounts of fans, it’s not surprising that the largest number of fans are usually gathered by the league’s most popular teams – FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. The high attendance rates for these games is also exacerbated by the fact that thousands of tourists from abroad also flock to the Camp Nou and Santiago Bernabeu to see some of the most famous names in world football in action. 

 

The Madrid based stadium – Santiago Bernabéu, currently holds the record for most attendance in any La Liga game, with the Real Madrid v Dinamo Zagreb 1974 match that gathered a crowd of over 128,000 spectators. It is worth noting that Christiano Ronaldo has accumulated a personal score of over 380 goals on that specific stadium alone, making it more than half of the goals he has secured in his career- with over 700.

 

Its chief competitor does not fall that match behind, with the Barcelona based stadium – Camp Nou, gathering an attendance of 120,000 people in the Barcelona v Juventus 1988 game. 

 

Conclusion

La Liga matches don’t only provide a year full of emotional rollercoasters for each teams’ fans, but it also creates a tempting and competitive ground for advertisers.

 

With stadium events currently being out of the question for football aficionados, there’s always the possibility to enjoy your favorite games on channels providing them with the highest resolutions. Regardless of whether you’re a loyal fan of Real Madrid, or you bleed FC Barcelona, one thing’s for sure – the top-flight of Spanish football is some of the best entertainment you could ever experience as a follower of world football!
