    People who only watch the EPL blindly believe it’s the best league in the league. But people who actually watch all the top leagues in the world know the Top 5 leagues are very similar in quality. What the EPL has is a huge market advantage globally because English is the lingua franca internationally and gives the league much broader exposure as a result. That’s it. The actual quality of the league is far overrated by people who only watch the EPL despite it being very fun and entertaining to watch.

The fact Newcastle a midtable team thrashed Paris a semifinalists 4-0, West Ham gave Leverkusen their toughest game and Man City made Real Madrid look like a 4th division team, shows the Premier League is still the best league by a long way.

    I think that the PL is still the strongest league, but the gap to the Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A is not very big. I think many people dreamed that their Premier League product would become a particularly strong league, far ahead of the rest. Like the NHL or NBA compared to Europe. But that is far from the case. On the contrary, the PL could fall behind again. There are the top 4 leagues in Europe, that won't change. Even if the PL constantly tries to stand out from the other 3 leagues with an excessive amount of money. It won't work and that's a good thing.

      I agree. Main reason it doesn't work is because football is such a big sport that the player pool is so big, that many clubs over several leagues can field top tier quality. Other sports don't have this quantity and therefore it is easier to concentrate all the top talent in one league.

    Premier league is just more globally more recognised and is richer. However it is second to La liga when it comes to talented players. In Europe, English teams more often than not have struggled to beat Spanish teams in the Champions league and Europa. Which is why Spain has more trophies in both competitions than England. Then there's a reason why the Balon d'or was won more by players that played in Spain than England. Another thing, all the Big 6 don't hold a candle to only two teams Real and Barca...

    Fundamentally the issue is with playing style, Man U play counter attacking at fast pace and direct, Sancho and Dortmund also play a counter attacking game but very different, they allow Sancho to have his showboating moment to get him going to be creative for Dortmund. At Man U that won’t be allowed bcus they play very different

    Me, as a Bundesliga watcher, still thinks the Prem has the most quality per each squad and still is the most difficult league to win, no doubt. But due to the number of games they have with all these "unimportant" cups they slowly tire down and weaken their teams. That being said, in european competitions you'll always need more than just a squad that is worth alot of money. You need a TEAM, not individuals and you to have a high level of respect for the badge and the fans, so that's why many historic clubs will always have a certain advantage in Europe compared to "Spurs" or "Arsenal" even if their squad is valued less. Secondly, I do think Serie A and the Bundesliga are getting more and more interesting to the rest of the world again, even if they're maybe not as strong financially. To finish off my long statement, is it the best in terms of competition? Yes! Are they as dominating in Europe as their budget would suggest? No and I dont think they ever will be.😅

      Did you not see Man City make the best non-English team in the world look like a 4th division team? Winning by a fluke PKs doesn’t stop the fact that Man City are a much better team than Real Madrid and still the best team in the world. The only reason English teams have done bad this year is because it was the weakest champions league qualifiers England has had in a long time Arsenal and Newcastle had no experience and this is the worst Man Utd team in years. Klopp’s arrogance eliminated Liverpool by him not picking his best team against Atalanta. What is funny in the Premier League’s worst season in Europe for a long time, they can still win a European trophy

    Best players: Premier league
    Most Money: Premier League
    Quality of Football / Competitiveness : Premier League (although Man City are ahead from everyone else due to money and won 5 of last 6)
    Best Referees: Not the Premier League for sure!
    Most Success in European competitions 2023/24: Not the Premier League
    Most Success in National Level (Euros, World Cup etc): Not the Premier League
    Interesting debate, difficult to decide

    EPL may not be the best in terms of winning the Champions league but it's more entertaining and open compared to other leagues.

    The German hate in these lot is insane 😂😂 its literally a 50/50 game next week in Madrid between Bayern and RMA and RMA were more than lucky to escape with a draw at Alianz because Bayern dominated them. Yet they have Bayern already out and PSG in agaist Dortmund 😂 😂 PSG are notorious for losing in Paris they almost do it as a habbit 😂

    It is debatable if EPL is the best in the world , but I personally think EPL Refs & VARs are one of the worst in the world . Thus , it cannot be the best til you get the ref mess sort out .

    EPL spends more money than any other league. It has the best players and has the best quality. Every player would happily leave Dortmund in a minute for any epl team. A lot more money and a lot higher wages and better quality. Anyone saying leagues who can’t spend are better than epl doesn’t know soccer

    What does that exactly mean, the best league? In terms of what? Most Champions League / European Cup wins overall? Participation in European finals? In the last 10, five or three years? Number of league winners overall, in the last 10, five or three years? Point gap between league winner and worst team? Point gap between league winner and best team not to be qualified for European competition? Revenue or global viewership? Number of Balon d'Or winners in the league? Number of international players? And to which degree does the performance of the national team play a role in that? Another measure? What does that mean, to be the best league? Is there a trophy for being the best league?

    I think La Liga is the Best League in the world, then EPL comes in at number two, Serie A is third, Bundesliga is 4th, and 5th is debatable.

    "best" is subjective, biggest is not, it's the premier League

    I wonder if A.i will be able to predict winning teams every time in the future. What would happen to sports if every game could be known before it happens. 👽👾

    In the span of 30 years, both Italy, Spain and Germany have had international success. Meanwhile England hasn't won anything in 60 years or so? If anything, its foreign players who carry the PL. Time and time again, the PL gets ridiculed in European competitions, what a joke. PL is and always will be overrated.

      Like foreign coaches. They keep PL still on board. Imagine a PL with only British players and coaches....
