That is some damning evidence to prove you don't actually watch all that much LaLiga. Teams only play that way against the traditional top three, mostly because they have no choice. The difference in budget is vast, they can't compete in any other way. Hoping to shithouse a draw is their only chance. Most of them try to play more open football against their direct competitors where they actually need to try and get three points.
