Atletico Madrid defender Felipe Luis has said the dominance enjoyed by Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga is an injustice.
The two sides have occupied the top two positions in the table for the past five years, while the last team to win the title other than them was Valencia in 2003-04, then managed by Rafa Benitez.
Luis, who signed for the Vicente Calderon club in 2010 from Deportivo La Coruna, said the dominance Madrid and Barcelona has reached a point where the fight for La Liga has become boring and there are more interesting battles further down the league.
Speaking to sports paper AS, the Brazilian left-back said: “It is a tremendous injustice that the league is so unbalanced. That Barca and Madrid have budgets that are so immensely greater increases doubts that this is the best league in the world.
“It is more interesting lower down in the table than it is in the fight for the title. [At Atletico] we have to try to fight with our weapons. We, with much work and humility, have barely reached them.
“From humility we have achieved many things, but to fight them is very complicated.”
