La Liga 2015-16 - Congrats FC Barcelona, well played Real Madrid and frustrating Sony ESPN


First of all, let me congratulate Barcelona for winning the La Liga title this season. They went through a lean patch for a transient period, but throughout the season, they had been the best team. Luis Suarez had been their best performer and without a doubt, he is one of the finest strikers in the modern era. His sense of position and the ability to convert half-chances into full make him one of the most feared customers in the modern era. I might not be one of his fans, but I can’t deny the fact that Suarez is a gem of a striker.

Secondly, Being a supporter of Real Madrid, I am not upset at all. At the start of the season, Real were a hapless unit, but as soon as Zinedine  Zidane was appointed as the coach, the Los Blancos started to rediscover themselves. Their midfield looked more organized and creative and the fighting intent was evident. On a positive note, in this season, Real came back on track and I hope they will improve more in the next season to satisfy their fans and critics. But, above all, they must not let Zidane go and shun whims as much as possible.  

Thirdly, Sony should never be given the rights to telecast major soccer leagues  and tournaments. It’s a shame, they ignored La Liga matches for the sake of a bullshit Twenty20 League. Frankly speaking, Sony entertainment has never been one of my favorite as a sports broadcaster. They are better only for entertainment.

Sony needs to realize, Soccer has always been the best sports ahead of cricket and these bloody Twenty20 leagues are just beggars in front of an EPL, La Liga or Bundes Liga. Sony made a mess of cricket during the ICC World Cup 2003 and 2007 and now they are hurting those fans who sit and wait to watch Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo rather than jokers in a circus show.

Thank You
