Why Real Madrid and Barcelona Are Fading Away?

Spain has dominated football so much since the turn of the century. In every year between 2008 and 2012, a Spanish football club or the Spain national team ended up winning one of the major footballing trophies. During this period of 4 years, Spanish teams and the national team won 2 Euros, 2 Champions Leagues, and 1 World Cup. They were really on top of the world.

And as expected, because of how dominant they were, the Spanish league attracted the best players in the world. As at 2009, La Liga could boast of having Kaka, Benzema, Higuain, Aguero, Henry, Xavi, Ibrahimovic, Raul, Iniesta, and of course, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Back then, when El Clasico came on, the entire world stood still – it was the apex of club football. Absolutely nothing came close.

But fast forward to the present, and it’s a completely different tale. Apart from Madrid and Barcelona fans, hardly anybody is really concerned about the Clasico these days. In Europe, things have also gotten really bad. In the Champions League this season, only one Spanish team managed to make it out of their group.

And it was a similar story in the 2020-21 season. Spain also had just one representative in the quarter finals. This is a completely different story from what was the case in the 10 years between 2008 and 2018. During this period, Spanish clubs made it to the final in 7 years, 5 of them coming in back-to-back years between 2013 and 2018.

In fact, in 2 of those years, two Spanish clubs went head-to-head in the final. That’s the quality we were used to back then, but all that is fast fading away. So, it begs the question, why is Spanish football fading away?
