The Premier League vs the La Liga.

This debate has been raging on for as long as football has managed to reach a global audience.

While many feel that the Premier League is a more competitive and better-televised campaign others claim the La Liga is better than its English counterpart because the Spanish league is pure football without any unnecessary glamour.




But in reality, only a man who has spent time in both leagues can be the best judge of the question, ‘Why is the Premier League better than the La Liga?’




And current Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has tried to do just that.

Guardiola spent his playing career at Barcelona and also went on to manage the Catalans and now talking about the differences between both the leagues, the Spaniard said:




“I understand the way football is in England, you can stay maybe 20 years in one place,




“Here, during the week, I don’t see the journalists. We’ve had many, many problems in the club. Sometimes we have to be tough with the players in the locker room and nothing goes out.

“In Barcelona and Bayern Munich, everything that happens – next time it is in the media. Here you are more comfortable.




“The way you live day by day, the people you are working [with] – this situation is completely different.




“Alex Ferguson – 25 years in Barcelona [like his time at United], I don’t know if this would be possible. You know the reality there!

“I think here it is more comfortable. Always you have the pressure. If things are not going well you will be sacked, but that is not a problem.




“The problems [can be] during the day. The way we train, the [training] centre is comfortable, is private, is secret.”
