The top 30 highest-paid players in the 2021/22 La Liga season clearly shows the dominance of the two Spanish giants FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, who each have ten players on the list. FC Barcelona seem particularly willing to pay their star players as Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann are both in the top five. However, the salary cap in La Liga has meant smaller clubs struggle to compete with the big clubs and retain top players. The salary cap is forcing clubs to be creative and look for innovative ways to pay their players and stay competitive.
