La Liga — long considered one of the bedrocks of world football along with the Premier League and Serie A — has for decades dominated Europe’s elite competitions. Spanish clubs regularly reached Champions League finals, hoisted trophies, and starred in highlight reels that thrilled fans around the globe. Yet beneath the surface of glamorous nights at the Bernabéu and Camp Nou, a significant shift has taken place: La Liga’s UEFA coefficient ranking — the numerical system that evaluates how well clubs from each nation perform in UEFA competitions — has dropped relative to rivals.

According to The Athletic, Chelsea have approached Leicester City about signing midfielder Kieran Dewsbury-Hall.
Chelsea wants another midfielder and has set their sights on the 25-year-old, who impressed in the Championship last season with 12 goals and 14 assists in 44 league outings.
Dewsbury-Hall is also considering leaving his boyhood club for Stamford Bridge. Chelsea will most certainly have to pay a substantial fee for the midfielder, whose contract runs until 2027.
However, the London club has demonstrated that it is willing to pay exorbitant fees for players it wishes to sign.
Chelsea believe Dewsbury-Hall is the ideal tactical fit for manager Enzo Maresca, who worked with him last season.
The Leicester City Players' Player of the Season might play in Maresca's 4-3-3 formation with Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.
Chelsea fans will be wondering what Dewsbury-Hall's arrival means for Conor Gallagher's future.
The club has been attempting to sell the 24-year-old England international for some time to balance their books, and signing Dewsbury-Hall could hasten his departure.
Chelsea has wasted no time getting down to business this summer, while failing to address the actual weaknesses in the first team.

They have reportedly signed Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa for £19 million.
The transfer has sparked widespread interest, as the England youth international was previously unknown.
Estevao Willian has also joined Chelsea's almost endless chase of youthful talent. Tosin Adarabioyo joined Chelsea after leaving Fulham.
The Blues are close to signing Barcelona teenage attacker Marc Guiu, while also attempting to finalize a deal for Boca Juniors' Aaron Anselmino.
Chelsea's quest for a striker to compete with Nicolas Jackson continues, and numerous uninspiring possibilities have been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
They also need to fill voids at left defense, left wing, and goalkeeper.
