Each team plays 38 matches, with the champion earning the title and qualification for European competitions, while the bottom three teams face relegation to Segunda División. LaLiga’s intense rivalries, such as El Clásico between Real Madrid and Barcelona, and its high-scoring, skillful play make it a favorite among football fans worldwide.
