LaLiga, Europe Super Champion

Spanish football has become the best of the Old Continent and adds more titles and runners up than any other league competition.

Twelve UEFA Super Cups and ten runners up are more than enough reasons to keep LaLiga reigning at the top of the continent. This time, for a second consecutive year, two teams from the Spanish competition showed again that the hegemony of Spanish football is well above of other big leagues.

This year's finalists, FC Barcelona and Sevilla FC, were the last to continue increasing the history written before by Real Madrid CF, Atlético de Madrid, Valencia CF and R. Zaragoza. There are six teams that since 1972 have represented Laliga in a European Super Cup which has a clear Spanish accent.

Since the title is played in a single match, twelve of the eighteen finals have had, at least, a team from LaLiga. A record doesn’t hold by any other country with which Laliga consolidates its dominance in Europe. With twelve titles and ten runners-up, Spain leads a rank of trophies that nobody else can claim. Italy, with nine Super Cups and four runners-up, ranks in second place, England has seven titles and eight runners-up, respectively.

If this course Catalans and Andalusians have met in the final as champions of UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League, the year before were Real Madrid and Sevilla, which repeats. In 2012, Atlético de Madrid faced Chelsea FC in a final won by the "rojiblancos", like they did in 2010 against Inter Milan.

But figures do not end there. In the last six finals of the Champions League four Spanish teams have reached the final. Something similar to what happened in the past Champions League in which the hegemony was Spanish for a second year in a row.
