Javier Tebas, the outspoken president of LaLiga, will have delighted in Real Madrid's thumping of Liverpool in the Champions League this week.
That isn't just because Tebas supports them. He would have viewed the stunning 5-2 win as one in the eye for the Premier League, which he recently warned was 'financially doped' and getting out of control.
Tebas will certainly also have noted the other results involving English clubs in the Champions League over the last two weeks.
For all the rhetoric about growing Premier League supremacy off the pitch, none of the four English representatives managed to win their last-16, first leg games and three of them lost.
