The Spanish League’s “La Liga” champions record throughout history, from 1929 until now

The founding of the Spanish Football League dates back to 1929, and the first season witnessed Barcelona occupying first place with 25 points, two points behind Real Madrid in second place, and at that time the league began with 10 clubs.

But Barcelona’s perfect start did not last more than one season. After finishing second in 1930, it was completely eliminated from the competition against Athletic Bilbao, Real Madrid, Arenas, Espanyol, Racing Santander, Real Oviedo, and Real Betis.

Real Madrid is the king of the Spanish League

The Royal Spanish Football Federation, which was founded in September 1913 and joined FIFA in 1914, was forced to cancel three consecutive La Liga seasons from 1936 to 1938 due to the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.

But this scenario was not repeated during World War II, and the Spanish League was held without problems throughout the 1940s, unlike what happened in other leagues such as the English League, the Italian League, and the German League.

Real Madrid tops the list of clubs that have won the most Spanish League titles in history, with 35 titles, and is competing for the leadership of La Liga, its traditional rival and the Catalan giant, Barcelona, ​​with 27 titles.

The Spanish capital’s duo, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, succeeded in winning the largest number of titles with 46 titles, 35 for Real Madrid and 11 for Atletico Madrid, noting that the Royal Club occupied second place 23 times, compared to 10 times for Atletico and 26 times for Barcelona.

Bilbao beats Valencia and Seville

The Basque Country, represented by Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad, was satisfied with winning 10 titles, with 8 titles for Bilbao and 2 for Sociedad, out of 30 serious attempts to win the title from the Basque Country, of which 10 finished in runner-up and 12 finished in third place.

The Valencia Region, represented by its first team, won the league title 6 times and finished runner-up on the same occasion, in addition to finishing third on 10 occasions.

Despite exporting the largest number of clubs in the Spanish League, the Andalusian region did not succeed in winning the championship title more than twice, once for Sevilla and once for its neighbor and traditional rival Real Betis, knowing that Seville finished second 4 times, and Real Betis finished third on two occasions.
