​@@CoreyMcKinneyFC By the way: You asked the right question, but did not get an answer yet. "What is so special about Atletico Bilbao?" You should definitely go after this, because its the key to understand Spanish football. (In short: bilbao let only Basques play, so they have this huge identity boost. Just imagine there are only Oregonians oncthe Portland Trail Plazers squat.)

Girona FC belongs to City Football Group, which owns Manchester City. Fun fact, Girona is typically known as the most radical separatist region of Catalonia, but the manager is from a working class neighbourhood in Madrid, the manager learnt to speak Catalan, which is something really unique if you consider how Spanish regional and political landscape is at the moment, not many people from outside regions where Catalan isn't the native tongue would ever learn Catalan, just because Spanish is widely spoken by all people in Spain in general.

[@eligerus2622]

Yeah I am kind of sorry for the "expert" to not know that. But hey he has been asked a few tough questions here.

[@explosivewinger]

He forgot to mention Sevilla FC. they are a mid-table club that sometimes gets into the top 4. In recent years they have always finished between 4th and 7th in LaLiga, except last season they were outside the mid-table. Sevilla FC is also known as the kings of the Europa League, they have won the UEFA Europa League seven times, the most of any club.

[@punkjay4681]

I was wondering this too, I would've talked about them right after the big two.

[@zenkiiza]

Over the last 13 years, Athletico Madrid have easily become the 3rd biggest La Liga club by a mile with the titles they've won

[@eligerus2622]

Its not a matter of titles really. FC Sevilla can compete here with Athletico. Its because of their number of UCL participations, player value and branding work mainly outsite of Europe. (At least in my opinion)

[@ashleyknight455]

The German league and Spanish league and Dutch and French and Italian leagues are not worth watching they are all terrible leagues compared to the premier league there’s a reason why everybody around the world follows the premier league

[@zenkiiza]

@@eligerus2622 yeah…. Ok bud. They’ve got knocked out so many times in the group stage and won the Europa league and are clearly the 4th biggest club in Spain but there’s a decent gap between 3rd and 4th biggest.

@@zenkiiza Yes, I only was against the title argument as the number one argument here. Because I consider all those EL titles more valuable as two LaLiga titles. But other then that, there is no reason to not put Madrid on three.

No one believed in Joao Felix in Barcelona but we must say he is plying really good, let's hope he continues like this because he is making quiet an impression for us barça fans! Also Cancelo is playing really good, but they both are in loan and we don't have a transfer fixed for the next season...

[@lucasbencardino5632]

He did not mention Sevilla who have the most Europa League trophies out of any team and I feel he didn’t give enough credit to Athletico Madrid. They are the only team who consistently challenge Barcelona and Real Madrid. They made it to the 2014 champions league final and they won la liga twice in the last 10 years. The last team to win la liga before those three was like in 2003

[@tijlberings3294]

Cameron is a g for supporting the most beautiful club (not only football) in the world! The one team that also needs to be mentioned for me is Villareal. Great video 👍🏻

[@rednaskela4830]

Athletic Bilbao is the most interesting team in Spain and one of the most interesting in football in general as they have an all Basque player policy, meaning they are only allowed to sign or play players of Basque descent which is basically a region of Spain and France on the size of Rhode Island. Still the team is among the top five most successful teams in Spain and is along with Real Madrid and Barcelona the only three teams to never be relegated from the top division. They are forced to develop within a very small pool of players but their patriotism is what make them succeed. Real Sociedad that was mentioned is another Basque club but they allow foreigners or Spanish players from other parts of the country as well even if Basque DNA is important to them.

[@koukihayashi8693]

Kubo is one of the best Japanese player that is doing great in Laliga

[@EvieWillNotDie]

Kinda crazy how he didn't talk much about atletico and simeone-ball. Dark arts football at it's finest. They've been the only team for decades now who have pipped barca and madrid to the league title, their last one coming only a couple years ago too. Bilbao is another very cool team because they have a policy that only players who are from the basque country (the Spanish state Bilbao resides in) are allowed to play for the club. It definitely holds the team back but they've never been relegated and it's very cool to see a club function like they do.

[@johanabreu14]

fun fact: Girona has the same owners as Man City thats one of the reasons why they have improved recently

Not really "fun"... I'm so fed up with corporate clubs, oil clubs, and multiple-club ownerships. Should be banned everywhere. Each club has their own identity. I would hate it if my club turned into a "feeder club".

[@eligerus2622]

Fun fact to Kubo from Real Sociedad: He was the yougest ever player to play in J-League with 15 years and 5 months. So he actually plays for 7 years professional now. Thats why he played with so many teams already. Real has a 50% resell clause, kind of smart.

[@danburgess4210]

A Lot of the Kubo moves were loan moves. Teams will send out players to gain experience, this is what happened to Kubo until he moved permanently to Sociedad

[@danilouii]

great insight Cam! dale pues

[@jesusmejay7676]

Kubo is from Japan 🇯🇵, he’s a great player and very young! , Real Madrid bought him about 2 years ago and I think he’s on loan

[@CoreyMcKinneyFC]

This makes sense! He's lighting it up!

[@jesusmejay7676]

Yes usually when Madrid buy a young player and they see potential they send them out on loan to different clubs so they get more experience so that’s probably why he’s been in so many La Liga clubs

[@jammercodm]

Nah Madrid finally sold him to Sociedad but they have a 30mil buy back clause I think

[@albertgandiamodol5311]

he was in Barcelona la masia when he was kid but due to some FIFA issues Barça lost him, like we lost xavi simmons and many more... he is really good but he struggled at finding a team, finnally Real Sociedad fits him pretty good!

Take Kubo thing is he was a youth in la masia at that time there was a escandal for which the institution was penalized by uefa they couldnt sign Kubo and the rest of kids and so Madrid got him but Madrid is not exactly a team where youths come out and break through so Take Kubo was sold to other teams and eventually ended up at Real Sociedad.

People need to explaini to these guys how and why loan constructions work. The guy from Sociedad was on a Madrid contract but not good enough at that moment to play in the first team, so they loan him out to get experience playing a lot at other teams.

[@sathwickvs9301]

He missed out on Atletico Madrid competing with Barcelona and real madrid after appointing simeone as manager in Dec 2011 Under his management they won LaLiga and champions league runner ups

[@Jotared]

I think you have the wrong idea about players who play for multiple teams mainly because you watch and support clubs who can financialy keep the best players within their ranks (due to financial support of owners mainly). If a player switches clubs could be because the teams that he has played need the money from the transfer or just because the player wants to play in better leagues or earn more money until he eventualy gets to those teams you support (if he has the quality to do that). Football team ranks would be much different if the teams who breed talent in their academies could retain that talent and sustain the pressure that teams like PSG, Man city, Real Madrid do....Because most of those only buy talent (except Barcelona and a few others) that other teams create or develop.

[@Aayewsh]

Have to say I'm a little disappointed in this video. When I saw the video title and thumbnail I thought you'd be learning some insightful things about the league, but everything in this video seems to be just surface-level information. With all due respect to your friend, he just came off as someone who knows some basic things about the league just because he's a Barcelona fan and not an actual La Liga fan. I don't mean to sound pretentious but I could've given the correct and definitive answer to all your questions about the league here. Girona are in fact, backed by *some* oil money indirectly, but that also doesn't discredit the success they're having. The pronunciation of Girona was also wrong. I could tell you exactly why Takefusa Kubo (who's Japanese btw) has been in 8 different clubs and why he's thriving at Real Sociedad. Yes Atletico Madrid beat Rayo Vallecano 7-0 a few days ago. Could tell you more about Athletic Bilbao who were briefly mentioned. Again, I'm sorry to you and your friend if I'm coming off as rude, but I am a huge fan of La Liga as a whole and was just left disappointed by this video.

[@CoreyMcKinneyFC]

Not rude at all brother, just critique that is welcomed! Thank you for your feedback! We are on a tight schedule with classes and work and had a limited time to record so we only spent a certain allotted time on the matter at hand. There will certainly be more videos to follow from LaLiga, and I can assure you that Camron does have more than a surface level understanding. I appreciate your feedback and the fact that you watched the video. Looking forward to interacting with you more!

[@olifoet4]

I totally agree with your opinion here. I totally understand that Cameron does not need to be "the expert" but he was far from that description. For the comments to the other teams (he clearly do not follow La Liga), it is clear that he is only fan of Barcelona, and for that reason he knows about Real Madrid, but that was all. Some points to try to extend the video. Yes, Barcelona and Real Madrid are the TWO houses. In the last 25 years Barcelona did not get the top 4 (the spot to go to the champions league) only once and Real Madrid has been all this years. Just think that this two teams have been top 4 in all the milenia basically. Recently (5 to 10 years), Atletico de Madrid become a third power house, and other top teams are Sevilla and Villareal. To understand the level of Barcelona and Real Madrid, the other spanish teams to win something, need to won the Uefa Europa League (it is like the second division of champions league) and the achieve that, more often than for example the teams in the premier league. Real Sociedad, but specially Girona are teams that by investment and salary cost, are in a trully amaizing position rigth now. Girona was 10th last tournament and before that, they were not in La Liga! Finally, and for an interesting fact. Atletic club de Bilbao. They have an internal rule for which they only play with players tied with their region or worst case scenario, spanish players. I repeat, never in his history, they hired a player that is not spanish, and that, for a league in which all the others clubs tried to have the best players around the world. They, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the only three teams that have never go relegated.

[@christophplank8972]

Girona actually have the same owners as Manchester City, so it's sort of talent farm for the latter. But they are their own team, with less money put into the club. Takefusa Kubo was actually in La Masia (Barcelona academy) for years, so it was expected that he is going to play for the first team in the future. He was to spent a year or two at a Japanese club and then Barca would buy him. However, we missed some deadline or something and Real Madrid snatched him away from us. He then was loaned to several La Liga clubs over the years. I believe Madrid have a last chance of keeping him this summer, either through a buyback option or the end of a loan, I'm not sure.

[@tevlar]

No, Takefusa was one of the players that got hit when Barcelona violated FIFA's international transfer policy for under-18 youths, making Kubo ineligible to play for the club. He then went back to Japan to get playtime and Barcelona couldnt get him back.
