An official release informs that for three seasons - 2003-04,

weekly highlights show, featuring all of the goals from the weekend's
fixtures, will also be broadcast on Monday evenings from this month.

that this will be the most televised football season ever on Sky
Sports with over 400 live matches. Alongside La Liga other tournaments

UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, Carling Cup .
Sky Sports' MD Vic Wakeling added: "La Liga has long been
seen as one of the world's strongest leagues. It has famous clubs,
magnificent stadia and some of the world's biggest stars. And now
David Beckham has joined Real Madrid the interest is unbelievable.
Sky Sports viewers can follow his progress, watch live games every
week and see every goal in La Liga within our biggest ever season
of football - it's a great signing."
