La Liga is the premier division tournament in Spanish football.

Founded in 1929, the La Liga is competed by 20 teams with the three lowest placed teams being relegated to the Segunda Division at the end of every season. The three relegated teams are replaced by two top-placed teams in Segunda Division and a play-off winner in the second division league.

Meanwhile, the top-four placed teams in La Liga directly qualify for the UEFA Champions League every season.

Since the inception of La Liga, as many as 62 teams have contested in the La Liga. Interestingly, there have been only nine different winners of the top-tier league of Spanish football.

Between 1936 and 1939, La Liga was cancelled due to the Spanish civil war.

Real Madrid hold the record for winning the most consecutive titles in La Liga. The Los Blancos won five consecutive La Liga titles from 1960 to 1965 before again repeating the feat from 1985 to 1990.

Who won the first La Liga?

FC Barcelona won the inaugural edition of La Liga in 1929. The inaugural edition of La Liga was a 10-team affair. The Blaugrana bagged the title after beating Real Union in the final round of the Liga. Barcelona secured 25 points from 18 matches, two points clear of arch-rivals Real Madrid.

Since then, the Catalan giants have won the title on 27 occasions.

Who has won the most La Liga titles?

Real Madrid are the most decorated team in La Liga, having won the title a record 36 times. The Los Blancos are also the reigning champions of La Liga, having clinched the 2023-24 edition of the league.

Manchester United and Atletico Madrid square off in the former’s penultimate pre-season club friendly on Saturday, July 30 at Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo, Norway. The match will kick-off at 5:15 PM IST.

Erik ten Hag’s managerial start with Manchester United has been impressive. The Red Devils have won three and drawn one of their last four matches and the upcoming clash against Atletico Madrid could see two of their new signings, Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen, both getting some much-needed minutes.

Atletico, on the other hand, have played only one club friendly which was against Numancia. Goals from Thomas Lemar, Angel Correa, Geoffrey Kondogbia and Mattheus Cunha were enough for the team to come out 4-0 winners.

For United, one can expect ten Hag to make several changes as the team plays two matches in the span of as many days. For now, however, the biggest question remains whether or not Cristiano Ronaldo will feature in any of those games.

He did return to Manchester on Tuesday, but that was reportedly to discuss his future with the team. Hence, one can expect him not to feature in this contest. 

As far as Atletico are concerned, Joao Felix and Jose Maria Gimenez remain the only injury concerns. Furthermore, new signings Axel Witsel and Samuel Lino could make their debut for the Spanish team.

Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United head-to-head

The Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United head-to-head record is dominated by the former, who have won two of their four meetings. United, on the other hand, are yet to win a match against Atletico.

Atletico Madrid playing XI (probable): Jab Oblak (captain and goalkeeper); Daniel Wass, Felipe, Stefan Savic, Renan Lodi; Marcos Llorente, Koke, Axel Witsel, Yannick Carrasco; Antoine Griezmann, Mattheus Cunha
