Yes, I watched both Barca and Real a lot this year, almost every week.
Benz has been dreadful until recently. He's doing better in the last month after Adebayor joined.
Ronaldo with 27 goals and Messi with just as many scored more than the entire teams of Almeria (26), Gijon (23), Hercules (24), Osasuna (26), Zaragoza (24), La Coruna (21) and Santander (24)

fragile? How about not given a fair chance? refs call in the favour of barca and real have invested in the past two years more in their team than 15 clubs together.
That's one of the things that bugs me about La Liga.
I'm no fan of the Scottish league, but about ten years ago the league was fairly strong by Scottish standards. During that time, the Old Firm were spending big, thrashing everyone else on a weekly basis and being miles ahead of whoever finished third.
The SPL was dismissed as being rubbish because of the lack of competition.
That's fine, but why is it that it is not seen as a joke now the La Liga has many similarities to the SPL, but all on a much bigger scale?

That does happen all too often i agree, but that doesn't explain 36 matches. The only explanation i have been able to come up with, is that mentally they're fragile. Because those same teams go out in Europe and show their worth.

The competition is a joke, that is for sure. But the league's teams are actually better than they look when playing Real or Barca. You see them against each other, or against other teams in Europe, and you'll notice that the Valencia's, Athletico's and Sevilla's are no less than the Roma's, Napoli's, Tottenham's of the world. The difference between them and the latter set of teams imo is that the latter are extremely fragile when playing Real or Barca, why? I can't figure it out for the life of me.
