Real Madrid and Barcelona's La Liga dominance is set to grow

Barcelona and Real Madrid's La Liga dominance is set to grow, says the Spanish players association president Luis Manuel Rubiales.

The duo have won every title since Valencia's success in 2004.

"Collectively we are not the best league, we have two super teams but we have no equal situation between all the clubs," said Rubiales.

"These two clubs have a lot of income, more than the rest, and the difference is growing every year."

Spain's league season starts today with Barcelona defending the title they won by amassing 100 points last season, as Real Madrid did in 2012.

Unlike other leagues, there is no collective agreement between Spanish clubs for La Liga television rights with each club negotiating individually, causing an unequal distribution of wealth in favour of Barcelona and Real Madrid.

While Real Madrid and Barcelona, the world's richest clubs by revenue, continue to attract the biggest names, their Spanish rivals have seen many of their top players move abroad.

There are 14 Spanish players alone who have moved to the English Premier League for the new season, including internationals Roberto Soldado to Tottenham and Alvaro Negredo, and Jesus Navas to Manchester City.

Spain's Thiago Alcantara has gone to Bayern Munich, Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain to Napoli, and Colombia striker Radamel Falcao to Monaco.

"Of the five top leagues, we have the worst salaries of these leagues," Rubiales told BBC World Service when asked why players were leaving Spain.

"Only one euro of every three is going to the salaries of players. The other leagues is around 50 per cent.

"The second point about taxes is so bad for Spanish players. The third point is the salaries every year are going down."

With a superior bench-strength and a proven manager who has experience in European football, I think Real Madrid will be performing well.
Barca could do well too. Neymar and Messi combination would be mouth-watering. Cruyff thinks the partnership won't work, others think it will. Only time will tell.
Considering La Liga as a whole, apart from Madrid and Barca, no team would be challenging for the honours in Spain. Mass exodus of players will slightly weaken the league.

There is a lot of time for Barcelona. They need a proper centre back and they are trying to bring in one.
Pepe is on Man City's radar, Xabi Alonso's contract has to be renewed, and CR7 is yet to agree to a new contract.

Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino took charge of Saturday’s training session in the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper and was able to work with a full squad to prepare Barça’s competitive debut for the 2013-14 season against Levante in the Camp Nou on Sunday (kick-off 7 pm). The session included Pedro, Messi and Cesc, who have all recovered from their respective injury concerns.

Team captain Carles Puyol was also on hand to continue his personal fitness programme together with recovery coach Juanjo Brau. Fans will remember that Puyol had a knee operation at the end of last season.

The players will have their final training session of the week on Sunday at 11.30 am in the Camp Nou. They will then remain together until kick-off at the Hotel Princesa Sofí
