About the supposed superiorty of La Liga, it's not bragging if you can back it up.
And WTH happened to the German sides?

I think it's just as important to look at who the teams played and where they opened.
La Liga 4-0-0. Home wins for Barca & Valencia. Road wins for Real & Deportivo.
Premiership 2-2-0. Liverpool & Newcastle open on the road and lose, Arsenal & ManU win at home.
Serie A 1-1-2. Inter has a dissappointing tie, but it's still a point on the road. Juventus gains a point on the road against a good Feyenoord team. AC Milan wins at home and Roma succumbs to the Real juggernaut.
Eridivisie 1-0-2 Ajax holds points at home, Feyenoord gives up 2 at home and PSV Eindhoven gains a point on the road.
Le Championatt 0-2-1 Lyon & Lens open at Ajax & AC Milan with losses. Auxerre gives up 2 points at home with draw against Eindhoven.
Bundesliga 0-3-0 Bayern Munich lose 3-2 at home, Leverkusen and Dortmund lose on the road. You can hardly fault Leverkusen for losing (but losing 6-2 is pretty bad), nor can you fault Dortmund losing at Arsenal. BM's loss is not good.
Rather than ranking the big 6's performance by win-loss record, I'd rank it based upon points earned -- giving double credit for points earned on the road...
1. La Liga 6 home pts, 6 road pts, 4.0 adjusted pts per team (appt)
2. Eridivisie 4 home pts, 1 road pt, 2.0 appt
3. Serie A 3 home pts, 2 road pts, 1.75 appt
4. Premiership 6 home pts, 0 road pts, 1.5 appt
5. Le Championatt 1 home pt, 0 road pts, 0.3 appt.
6. Bundesliga 0 points (enough said).
