It’s preference. I know a guy that loved Serie A football back in its prime and could sit and watch the AC Milan Vs Juve CL final over again. These debates happen all the time in sports. You get some fans in boxing and UFC that want knockouts all day but you get some that love the technical side to the grappling or a defensive 12 rounder in boxing. There is an art to defending as well as attacking.
Also, I’m not a huge La Liga watcher but I don’t recall Madrid being a boring team under Jose whenever I watched them.
