General A Leagues thread (Men and Women) 2025/26 season

[rebelliousfeminist974]

To put it into perspective, Levante finished bottom of Liga F (which has 16 teams) while Barça finished top. While Barça would’ve at least used to have been the favourites to win the WSL if they played in England, Levante would probably be relegated from the WSL 2 if they played in England. This season, Barça in a “financial injury crisis with only 17 players” won Liga F by 15 points, scored 130 goals in 30 games and only lost one game (1–0 to Real Sociedad). They also won the quadruple with three draws (1–1 with Chelsea and Bayern in the UWCL, 0–0 with Badalona in the Copa de la Reina) and one loss. Real Madrid have an advantage with better signings and Barça losing several players but I still doubt any other team will challenge for any silverware and Barça will still probably win two or three trophies.

Liga F is considered a farmer's league though and Barcelona only had problems with their finances because the salary cap in Spain encompasses the women's, men's and reserve teams.

Getting city slickers to play in farmers leagues, the travel from farm to farm would be a bull & three cows of an experience.
