    La importancia del equilibrio en las competiciones deportivas ha sido puesta de manifiesto en múltiples publicaciones. La supremacía en las últimas temporadas de dos equipos sobre el resto de los participantes en la Primera División de la liga española se ha convertido en tema omnipresente en los medios deportivos. En este trabajo se pone en evidencia que la situación no es nueva y que ya en épocas muy pretéritas, el desequilibrio era patente. Para llegar a esta conclusión se han analizado, mediante diversos índices de equilibrio competitivo estáticos, los resultados de 81 temporadas de la liga de Primera División (1928-29 a 2011-12, excluidas las de 36-37 a 38-39 coincidentes con la guerra civil).

    The importance of competitive balance in sport has been shown in many publications. The supremacy in the last seasons of two teams over the rest of the participants in the Spanish First Division league has become pervasive theme in sports media. This work illustrates that this situation is not new since in the past the imbalance was also evident. For reaching this conclusion it has been analyzed, through various rates of static competitive equilibrium, the 81 season results of the First Division league (1928-29 to 2011-12, excluding the 36-37 to 38-39 coinciding with the Spanish civil war).
