Bale is wrong, La Liga’s not the best – Mourinho

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has rejected Gareth Bale’s claims that La Liga is the best league in the world, suggesting the Premier League holds that title.
The Portuguese spent three seasons with Real Madrid, winning the top flight once, before returning to Stamford Bridge in 2013 for a second stint.
That same summer, Bale swapped Tottenham for the Santiago Bernabeu in a €100 million move and impressed in his debut season as Carlo Ancelotti’s men lifted the Champions League and Copa del Rey.

Despite Bale’s proclamations that he is playing for the best club and within the best league in the world, Mourinho thinks the overwhelming domination of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid weaken Spanish football.
“[Bale said that] because he’s there,” the former Inter and Porto coach, whose Blues are currently top of the Premier League, told BT Sport. “You have to accept what Gareth says, but I was also there.
“I won La Liga, I lost La Liga, but I [also] won La Liga, and I know clearly the differences between La Liga and the Premier League.
“To go to matches knowing that you are going to win for sure is not the best thing. In Spain everybody knows that two teams are top of the world. A third team like Atletico is doing wonderfully well and they won last year, which is not normal.
