Answer 1

Liga de Fútbol Profesional, commonly known as La Liga or Primera Division, is the professional football league in Spain and is widely regarded as one of the best leagues in the world.

Nine clubs have been crowned Campeones de Liga. Since the 1950s, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have dominated the competition. The former have been champions 29 times while the latter have won it on 18 occasions. However during the 1930s and 1940s and in more recent seasons, La Liga has been more competitive. Other winners include Atlético Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, Valencia CF, Real Sociedad, Real Betis, Deportivo de La Coruña and Sevilla FC. La Liga also boasts the two most successful clubs in European competition history (UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup and UEFA Cup Winners' Cup) in Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. [1]

La Liga is currently first in the UEFA rankings of European leagues based on their performances in European competitions over a five year period, ahead of Serie A in second and Premier League in third. [2] The 2005–06 average attendance of 29,029 for league matches is the sixth highest of any domestic professional sports league in the world. In professional football leagues La Liga was third highest behind the Bundesliga in first and the Premier League in secon
La Liga currently takes place between the months of September and June. The term La Liga is regularly used to refer to just the Primera Liga on its own, often referred to in Spain as just Primera. However it has always featured a Segunda División, currently designated Segunda División A. The lower leagues, Segunda División B and Tercera División are amateur and regionalised. Teams from La Liga also compete in the Copa del Rey.

The winner of La Liga also plays off against the Copa del Rey winner for the Supercopa de España.

The top four placed Primera Liga teams qualify for the UEFA Champions League. The top two qualify for the group stage, while the third and fourth-placed teams go to the third qualifying round.

The fifth and sixth placed teams qualify for the UEFA Cup. A third UEFA Cup placed is awarded to the Copa del Rey winners, the seventh placed Primera Liga team, or the Copa del Rey runners-up. By default the Copa del Rey winner gets the UEFA Cup spot, if the team finished in the fifth or sixth Primera Liga position (hence already qualified for the UEFA Cup), the seventh placed team will qualify for the UEFA Cup, while if the Copa del Rey winner ends Primera Liga amongst the top four placed, the extra UEFA Cup spot goes to the Copa del Rey runners-up.

All the teams have the right to request an invite to enter the UEFA Intertoto Cup. Of all the teams requesting an invite, the two highest placed teams at the end of Primera Liga without a UEFA Cup or UEFA Champions League spot will actually play the Intertoto.

The three last placed teams are relegated to the Segunda Division A, and replaced by the top three placed Segunda División A teams.
Meanwhile La Liga teams found success in European competition. Alfredo Di Stéfano and friends also worked their magic in the European Cup and Real Madrid won the cup five times in a row between 1956 and 1960 and then for a sixth time in 1966. La Liga clubs also dominated the Fairs Cup. FC Barcelona, Valencia CF and Real Zaragoza won this competition six times between them between 1958 and 1966, resulting in three all-La Liga finals in 1962, 1964 and 1966. La Liga clubs have continued to be successful in Europe ever since.

Real Madrid have been crowned champions of Europe on 9 separate occasions. La Liga clubs have won 28 major European trophies between them, more than any other league along with the Premier League who also has 28 but La Liga has had more losing finalists than the Premier League. Real Madrid have won 11 titles in total while FC Barcelona have won 9 . Valencia CF have contributed another 4, while Real Zaragoza with 2 and Atlético Madrid and Sevilla FC with 1 each complete the tally. Deportivo La Coruna have been regulars in the UEFA Champions League while Athletic Bilbao, RCD Espanyol, Alaves and RCD Mallorca have all contested major finals. Even smaller La Liga clubs, like Villarreal, Celta Vigo and Málaga CF have found success in Europe, winning the UEFA Intertoto Cup.

Between 1961 and 1980, Real Madrid dominated La Liga with the club winning the competition 14 times. This included a five in a row sequence (1961-65) and two three in row sequences (1967-69 and 1978-1980). During this era only Atlético Madrid offered Real any serious challenge, adding four more titles to their tally in 1966, 1970, 1973 and 1977. Only Valencia CF in 1971 and the Johan Cruyff-inspired FC Barcelona of 1974 managed to break the Madrid monopoly. The arrival of Cryuff in La Liga also signalled the easing of restrictions imposed on foreign players
Since the turn of the century, La Liga clubs have dominated Europe. In 2000, La Liga had 3 out of the 4 semi-finalists in the UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid, Valencia CF and FC Barcelona, Real Madrid went on to beat fellow La Liga side Valencia CF in an all Spanish final. In 2001, La Liga had 2 out of the 4 semi-finalists in the UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid and Valencia CF, Valencia CF went on to lose the final again this time to Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, in the UEFA Cup, La Liga had 2 out of the 4 semi-finalists with Deportivo Alaves and FC Barcelona, with Deportivo Alaves losing to Liverpool FC in the final. In 2002, had 2 out of the 4 semi-finalists in the UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid beating FC Barcelona in the semi-finals then beating Bayer Leverkusen in the final. In 2003, Real Madrid reached the semi-finals again but this time losing against Juventus. In 2004, Deportivo de la Coruna reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League but lost to eventual champions FC Porto. In the UEFA Cup, La Liga had 2 out of the 4 semi-finalists. Valencia CF beat Villarreal CF in the semi-finals before beating Olympique de Marseille to lift the UEFA Cup. In 2006, La Liga had 2 out of the 4 semi-finalists in the UEFA Champions League with FC Barcelona and Villarreal CF where FC Barcelona went on to become European champions again by beating Arsenal FC 2-1 in the final. Meanwhile, in the UEFA Cup Sevilla FC followed in Barcelona's footsteps by beating a Premier League side in an European final when they defeated Middlesbrough FC 4-0 and become UEFA Cup winners.

With FC Barcelona and Sevilla FC, La Liga took home both European trophies on offer in 2006.
