The Spanish League, or La Primera Liga to use it's correct name, can lay claim to being the best league in the world -in spite of what followers of the English Premier League may say!
Check out the markets at Sporting Index -then watch the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid live on Sky Sports and Sunday nights need never be dull ever again!
If you don't like either of the top two in the market, the beauty of spread betting is that you can bet on all of the runners (outright index) and their points performance over the course of the season (points spread).

Market Movers -We review how the Sporting Index spreads have been moving...
Moving Up
Real Madrid -Closing the gap at the top of the table as nearest rivals Barca faltered.
Sevilla -Playing very solidly at the moment and chasing Valencia -their nearest challenger for third spot.
Moving Down
Deportivo La Coruna -Only one win since the return from the winter break and struggling to find any real form.
