Well quoting the points tally is important, as it shows how well you did? You can't majorly control how other teams do in the league (+ or - 6 points), you need luck to win the title with a low tally and bad luck to not win it with a huge total.
I get where you're coming from but it seems silly to quote the points tally. The special **** won the league with a higher points tally...
Also Real got eliminated in the last 16 of the Champions League, that's what really got him the sack!
