Anyways, so there's a big controversy in spanish football right now that involves the next 'El Clasico' between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Apparently, La Liga, the spanish football federation, and even the Spanish government, do not want El Clasico to be played in Barcelona, let alone on October 26th, all of this because of the current sociopolitical crisis in the city (check the news, shit is going down over there).
Long story short: we might end up without El Clasico this month, some are saying the game will be played on December

I hope such radical decisions won't be needed... Just think about about fans who bought expensive tickets, especially these who will arrive from other countries, it would unfair...
The Premier League is the only league that that actually shares the revenue equally among the clubs. This is some of the reasons why their league aren't really that competitive with just two or three teams always dominating.
Yeah, you're right. Such revenue share model in EPL means that even league bottom clubs have huge budgets and they can spend a lot to buy players. While small clubs in La Liga and other leagues often have financial problems.
If I'm not mistaken, La Liga changed revenue share model few years ago - now money is shared according to clubs results. It's more fair than it was previously when Real and Barca took main part of pot.
