Athletic Club, Bara and Real Madrid accumulate 2,896 games played on their long backs. The white team is the leader with 92 points of advantage over Bara. Curiously, the Catalans dominate in the section of goals in favor (6216 against 6110) despite having eight leagues less than his Madrid rival in his palm.
In the third square appears the Atltico de Madrid at a sidereal distance from the two giants of Spanish football. However, the evolution of the rojiblancos in recent seasons is being meteoric until they settle on the historic podium. The 2011/12 season started in fifth place, behind Valencia and Athletic, but the arrival of Cholo Simeone to the bench caused the double ‘surprise’.

The Seville It is the other club that is soaring in this classification, but it still follows a world of its predecessors because of the difference in games played in the highest category of Spanish football. That s, the difference with Betis (tenth) is huge.
Some teams like Villarreal have clearly benefited from the change to the three-point league. Until 1995/96, two points were awarded for a victory and not the current three. That’s why the yellow team (position 21) or the Getafe (23) aThey seem to be in such high positions with very few seasons in the First League compared to other powerful teams that have fallen short in the last years of the 20th century such as Zaragoza, Sporting or Oviedo.
