Its more the fact that those 3 teams are just superb but teams like Sevilla, Valencia, Malaga, Villareal, Athletic Club are quality as well and have proven to be much better than the mid table teams in the EPL such as Newcastle, West Ham, Swansea etc. If we take away Real, Barca and Atletico are you then gonna say "Oh La Liga is the best cos its now competitive". Thats just being irrational imo. You have to look at is as if "Oh La Liga have 3 world class teams but still the other mid tiers teams are quality teams as well" but clearly not in the level as the top 3. Btw from what im watching a team like Sevilla would beat teams like Tottenham and Liverpool (who are traditionally meant to be the better teams of the EPL).
I might seem to be biased but i enjoy just as much EPL compared to La Liga and i do enjoy watching EPL. People might say La Liga is uncompetitive but that is a load of lies because La Liga mid table has always been very competitive and the mid table teams have always been technically more superior than EPL teams. People saying things like La Liga being uncompetitive clearly haven't watched the likes of Sevilla vs Valencia or Malaga vs Villareal because its far more better and the football is much more technical as opposed to watching teams like Swansea vs West Ham or Tottenham vs Newcastle etc. If you don't believe me that La Liga mid table is far better than the mid placed tables of every other club in every league around the world then just let facts speak for itself.
All people know the Europa League is pretty much the battle of the every leagues "middle table teams". Traditionally it has worked out to be that all the best teams of the European leagues are in the Champions League and the average teams of the European leagues are in the Europa League. In the past 11 years, 6 of the years La Liga teams have won the Europa League (Sevilla, Atletico and Valencia). The other five years pretty much were won by top flights footballing teams that feature in the Champions League on a consistent basis such as Chelsea, Porto, Shaktar, Zenit and Moscow.
Thus it shows for teams like Sevilla, Atletico and Valencia (who are mid table teams in La Liga) to beat top flight teams and win more Europa titles than any other league shows how much quality La Liga has. Thus think twice before saying "teams like Barca and Real thrash the smaller clubs in the league with messi running past 11 guys" because frankly 1. The smaller clubs in La Liga are better than the best clubs in most leagues and 2. If you watched football in general then you would know teams like Barca and Real dont rely on just 1 or 2 guys to win matches.
People without knowledge of football say oh Ronaldo and Messi just run around players cos defence in La Liga is crap. Utter bs. Lets not forget Ronaldo and Messi are top scorers in Champions League so if they "run around players" in La Liga then they also "run around players" against teams in Champions League as well, implying they can just "run around" every team in the world. And it becomes stupid to say EPL teams are better because you will never ever hear of teams such as Tottenham, Liverpool, Swansea, West Ham and Newcastle to ever be in the running for the Europa League title. Chelsea is the only EPL team within the past 11 years to win the Europa League and Chelsea is considered to be the best EPL team alongside Man City. That says a lot tbh.
And lets be frank here. EPL pretty much rely on La Liga talent. EPLs best players have come from La Liga whereas only Real Madrid and Barca buy EPL talent (Ronaldo, Bale, Varmaelen, Modric and Suarez). Lets not forget the best EPL players are majority La Liga talents e.g. Aguero, David Silva, Jesus Navas, Diego Costa, Negredo, Jovetic, Michu, Alexis Sanchez, Ozil, Di Maria, Falcao, Torres, Vargas, Courtois, Filipe Luis, Soldado, Alderweireld, Herrera, Mata, Eto'o and so on (i think ppl get the drift lol). So besides La Liga triumphing in terms of performances and results they are also proven to produce and develop the worlds best talent.
Hence putting all this factors together this shows without a doubt that La Liga is the best league in the world and people need to accept it. Better league doesn't just take into account entertainment and competitiveness (which is the excuse EPL lovers use to justify why EPL is better) but rather it is the whole package.
