Soccer frenzy hits again

The fever is back; nothing could be done to stop it. Nations and people go down like ninepins. Club football grips you before you could even take a gasp. You can't define the frenzy.
Players with unbelievable price tag go into action. All clubs giants handpicked to do the kill. And now the line of fire has opened at several fronts: La Liga games in Spain, English Premier League in England, Series A in Italy, and Bundesliga in Germany. Among club matches, the most sought-after are La Liga games and English Premier League. Amid this, Champions League in Europe might push the frenzy to the sky-and the sky is not the limit.

Spanish La Liga

La Liga, the Spanish club, has both World Cup and Euro Cup in their shelf. Started in 1929, La Liga is probably the oldest football fest around. With the entry of gaints like Lionel Messi (Barcelona), Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid), there has been huge uptick in the number of viewers. Barcelona won the inaugral match in 1929. The reigning champion Real Madrid lifted trophy for 32 times against Barcelona's 21 wins.
Like the English Premier League, 20 teams play 38 games, and they face each other based on 'Home and Away'. In current season the first 17 teams straightway get into the next La Liga, while the remaining three do it after winning the second division. The games are sponsoref by Banco Bibao Vizcaya Argentina, the Spanish International banking group. At the end of September-June season, top point-scoring team will lift the trophy. In case of a tally, points based on goals could do.
