when man city and Liverpool finished on 98 and 97. the other big teams were bad. no talk on quality of the league then.     See Less

Hilarious when the Premier League has only 3 Champions League trophies in the last 10 years and 6 in 20. La Liga has 5 in 10 and 10 in 20. Ratio to Spain 5-3 and 10-6.     See Less

I been saying this for years the EPL is the super league by every other metric     See Less

Super league should never happen     See Less

you are ether forgetting or choosing to omit the tax-friendly laws passed in Italy which contribute to the reduced wages paid.     See Less

The English Premier League *     See Less

Real Madrid and Barcelona will be just fine long term, Barcelona overpaid for players because they were incompetent

Real Madrid hadn’t spent crazy money in the transfer market and     See More 0s with the premier league having all these advantages won 2 UCLs & beat 3 EPL teams a year 3 years in a row in the UCL knock out stages

As for the LaLiga TV deal, it’s not RM & Barcas fault that they are so much bigger than everyone else, I mean it is, but it’s not like in England where you have so many more “legacy clubs”

Ironically the only club to become really big in the past 25 years that wasn’t because of an oligarch (Chelsea) or oil money (ManCity & PSG) is Atletico Madrid who were barely anywhere 15+ years ago & they used the popularity of RM & Barca to “carve out a niche” and are comfortably a club that is like 11-14th in terms of financial power & popularity etc

Also clubs like Atletico Madrid, Dortmund & others can offer what a lot of EPL clubs can’t & that is basically guaranteed champions league participation because in the EPL unless you go to Manchester city, it’s not guaranteed at all, even Liverpool missed the UCL a few years ago, Arsenal just started making it again etc    See Less

The Premier League is just being rewarded for their long-term strategy. While La Liga funnelled all their TV money to Barcelona and Real Madrid to allow them to dominate European football fo     See More with inflated wages and transfer fees that meant they could cherry pick the best players for 20 years building super teams to dominate Europe and Champions League. The Premier League said we are not going to put all the TV money in two teams, they would share the TV money evenly because they felt more competitive games between big teams and small teams would sell the league more and the bet paid off as the Premier League became the most watched sports league in the world above the Champions League, NFL and NBA. The TV money became so organically big for the Premier League that sharing the TV money in last 5 years closed the financial advantage Real Madrid and Barcelona had by not sharing their TV money and this is why English teams have won most the champions league in the last 6 years.

The La Liga model is failing because giving two teams all the money has made the league uncompetitive, predictable and boring leading the TV money for La Liga to shrink. And now Real Madrid and Barcelona can’t cherry pick the best Premier League players because Premier League clubs can now offer competitive salaries in the last 5 years, Real Madrid and Barcelona have to offer inflated salaries, which has put Barcelona in debt and Real Madrid have to pay inflated free transfer salaries which long term isn’t sustainable as the La Liga money shrinks.    See Less
