Imagine Real Madrid and Barcelona having a tremendous pull for players for the last 40+ years is news to these pundits, this is what living in an eco chamber looks like!
Yup clueless so called pundits
100%
Clueless English presenters people in Spain can’t help but laugh at these types of presenters
Mate it' obvious you haven't listened to the clip as with rest muppets posting replies.. 😴
@@craigcassidy6078 I did watch it thanks for theorizing on my behalf, let's summerize, Andy started the whole conversation with "is he worried to play in the PL?" Cause we all know how the PL is a different sport all together! Then went on to conclude that it must be the lifestyle and weather that is the factor, not like they are a bloody giant clubs! Now you go back to the echo-chamber, your feelings might get hurt outside.
Why is it so hard to believe that not all Football players want to play in the Prem and that there are other factors that influence a players decision on where to sign. 🤔
Because they are so up their asses
Obsession is tge key
Well said.
And vice versa. There are players who would rather play in PL than La Liga or Bundesliga. How many of the best players are going to Atletico or Sevilla simply because they are Spanish? Very few, if any. Real Madrid and Barcelona are huge clubs, Man Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool have been historically big clubs, but 2 out of those 3 are no longer dominant clubs.
I think it’s because you’d think top players would want to test themselves in the best league in the world and come out of their comfort zone and try a different challenge
The premier league is overrated - It is just a product well sold... At the beginning of the season, sure there are about 4-5 contenders, but at the end it's usually just either two teams going neck-and-neck.
Honestly, forget all that “most competitive” nonsense.
Since 2000, Spanish teams have collectively won 28 European trophies, compared to the English Premier League's seven.
Apparently they didn't watch the champion's league this year when Madrid beat England's top three teams on the way to winning the title
Regardless EPL is still better & bigger than both Italy & Spain combined. More historical, prestigious & greater. Its also the most watched with the most fans worldwide
I agree it’s just very well sold
@@ZL-jr5xp chelsea beat athletico and Madrid on their way to ucl glory too.
It has the best collection of 20 teams in the world.
Are they actually asking this like it’s a hard question 😂😂😂😂😂
The two biggest clubs in world football
1- History
2- Weather
3- most European Championship
4- Legends of football played those teams, only Pele didn't
5- Even Italian clubs have more attraction than English football
5- British is only attractive to british and those looking for money, football wise, it will be Spain, Italy or Germany. Mane left Liverpool for Bayern
PSG, as far as I know, were the only serious contenders in for Messi.
People flock to Spain from England on Holiday for the same reason players would rather play in Spain for Barca and Real, the climate/lifestyle.
I think the very best players want to play for either one of Real or Barça. It's one of those things "you have to experience" as a footballer.
They want to *live in Madrid or Barca, in 2022 players don't really care about playing for them unless it's for one last big paycheck (i.e: Bale and Hazard)
Did he actually just say the premier league is so tough Lewandowski would be worried??? 🤣🤣🤣
Yes???
He wouldnt get as many goals as bundesliga thats for sure still do well but he wont be hitting 50 goals in epl
I'm sure he was shitting himself at the prospect, not as if he didnt unofficially win a balon dor 🤣🤣🤣
Forlan struggled in the Prem.
Werner who was banging goals for fun at Leipzig has struggled in the Prem.
Not saying Lewandowski would flop in the Prem, but it's a bit rich to assume he'll just rock up the same numbers in a league that's way more physical and fast.
My point is its Lewandowski he one of the best strikers ever as if anywhere in the world would fear him 😂 sky sports have excellent marketing to make people believe otherwise you have to give them that
Real Madrid above all are a huge attraction no matter what state they're in. A massive club, huge stadium and almost guaranteed as a top player if you have a great season you're in the reckoning for Balon d'Or
Barcelona, for me have become far more attractive in the last 15 years because of the Messi, Xavi, Iniesta era but before that weren't considered as the top destination but lifestyle and huge stadium huge pull.
I'm in my 40s so when I was growing up I always thought of AC Milan and Juve as the biggest and most glamorous apart from my own team Man Utd.
Lol funny you say that right after they lost out on mbappe and halaand, 2 of the greatest prospects after messi and Ronaldo 🤣
@@howardramaru6674PSG are state funded so offered Mbappe a king's ransom... Says alot about Mbappe
If Madrid came in for Haaland they'd have got him
@@liamandkai030810 Madrid did want halaand but they didn't get him, a lot of teams were chasing halaand but he chose city, could've easily chosen Barcelona as well ...and who are you to judge mbappe for his choices, this may just be football to us as fans but mbappe is at work trying to make money and ofcourse he chose his home club where he is surrounded by his entire family and is given more money and respect who wouldn't? And mbappe's legacy will be bigger if he wins psg 1 ucl than win no.15 for madrid, it's just common sense ... People talk about joining Madrid as if it's some big thing, when Madrid treats their legends like crap ...look at how Ronaldo left, I mean that's 1 of if not the greatest players of all time and they treated him like crap so he left, look at bale 4 ucl and what did he get for it ? ....Madrid was once a attractive destination yes I agree but it's no longer that attractive
@@howardramaru6674 you are hurt mate... You can live in your bubble . Real madrid did not go all in for halland because they thought mpabbe will sign for madrid. Real's philosophy is to get the best player in the world and at the moment Mbappe is the best and has the potential to be considered among the GOATS
@@mdrehankhan9919 what am I hurt by exactly ? Football ? Really ? ....you are delusional if you think am gonna be hurt by some dudes I don't even know but watch on TV kick a ball🤣😂, fact of the matter is that real Madrid failed to land any of the 2 greatest prospect in football, yeah real Madrid philosophy is to get the best players but I guess in this case the best player's philosophy is to secure his family and future generations wealth and you can cry a river about it no 1 is stopping you
There's no ways you can pick EPL over a chance to go to Real Madrid, Barca
Haaland did 😅😅😅😅
Most players do as its a greater test plus it's more entertaining & a bigger worldwide audience. Not to mention more money
Why not?? EPL is best League in the world
@@frozensnowman9728 overhyped by english media
@@ZmartinsOfficial Haaland will still end up in Madrid or Barca
I mean Barca and Madrid have always had the biggest pull so this shouldn’t be news.
It’s regional. I think South American and continental European countries, who have historically been the strongest football nations, clearly prefer Barcelona & Madrid its their dream and historical.
Players from regions such as Asia & Africa would be more than happy to spend their best years in the premier league because this is the league that they are most exposed to from an international perspective.
From Africa, ethiopia
I agree with u
@@webinwalker6470 who says so? cause I am from South Africa and Barça and Madrid are also idolised
Broh just look at Madrid Instagram 😂 I’m from Africa and Madrid and Barcelona are so much much bigger here than any other team
@@khutsomashao I didn’t say they aren’t idolised in Africa & Asia. Just that a world class African or Asian player would be happy to spend their best years in the premier league despite interest from the two big Spanish clubs. For South American and European players, as soon as they come calling they are out. Take the difference between Mo Salah staying at Liverpool and Luis Suarez
/Coutinho leaving at their prime.
It's not just regional. It's objective. Madrid and Barca are bigger clubs than any Premier League club.
Honestly Barca and Madrid are very attractive clubs and most players would prefer to play for these 2 clubs over any English clubs. United use to be as attractive as Barca and Madrid but not anymore. Hopefully the club can bounce back
Barcelona has always been more attractive than Manchester. Warmer Weather, More Prestige and bigger Worldwide Legacy. Can't think of many players who have rejected Barca for Utd, but know of plenty who have rejected Utd for Barca.
@@craigdiascd
lol'd.
Barca only became huge in the 2000s and partly because of Messi.
They didn't even win a European Cup until 1992.
@@dragonballfanscantread2383 You really are delusional.
@@dragonballfanscantread2383 no, they were a huge club even before Messi era.
@@dragonballfanscantread2383 so how come they managed to sign Maradona Kubala Hristo Stoichkov Figo Michael Laudrup Koeman Johan Cruyff Neeskens Hagi Ronaldo Romario Lineker ect. Its not because they were a small club. It was huge before they had 4 Cup Winners Cups 3 Fairs Cups which was pre UEFA Cup that eventually became Europa League. Multiple leagues and domestic cups they have 95 trophies in their official trophy cabinet. Its always been a top 5 club in the world generally for a very long time.
Two biggest clubs in the world. They have a higher chance of winning stuff than any club in England barring Liverpool and City right now. Utd have been poor, Chelsea haven't been near a domestic title in quite a few years, and Arsenal aren't a pull any longer. Man City have signed arguably the best young striker right now, so there's that. Lewandowski had a great set up at Bayern to succeed, he obviously wanted to go to Barcelona due to their history and size as a club rather than step down to City who aren't one of the biggest clubs in Europe.
For the majority of South American players, Barcelona and Real Madrid are the dream move. As far as Lewandowski goes, not entirely sure. But the English weather compared to the weather of Barcelona and Madrid for an aging player is probably a huge issue.

@@Yob365 what does vardy and ings have to do with it? Prem is very physicalally demanding and that's fact

The Prem isn’t miles ahead of competitiveness as you think compared to La Liga, the same old teams compete for the Premier League and the same old teams compete for La Liga the only difference is that various different La Liga clubs have had good runs over the last two decades in the UCL and UEFA cup compared to English clubs.
The joke is that foreign players and managers (and owners) dominate and shape the Premier League while the British struggle.
The difference is more teams compete in the prem, in la Liga its literally always been only 2 clubs
@@mpierre3026 who outside of city and liverpool compete for the premier
Barcelona and Real Madrid will always be a top professional players choice over any top English side because of the history of the club and lifestyle of the city. Barcelona and Madrid is so much more beautiful than any city in England.
I’m sorry to disappoint people in England but Spain is way more attractive than England hence why top players still go there, the only with with the premier league is that they have more money that is it. Spain always trumps England when it comes to European cup finals.
Spain is so much more nicer than grumpy England. If the Spanish League had the same level of money, they would all go and live and play in Spain so the English need to stop begging and claiming that the Premier League and England is better.
Spain is a beautiful country it’s much better than England and if la liga had the same level of finances as England majority of players would go to Spain because of the lifestyle compared to miserable and wet England so you can spin it as much as you want that’s just facts. Spanish teams have beaten English teams in more European cup finals and that’s a fact.
trust me the premier league is much more competitive than la Liga. There isn't even a discussion.
@@thamananm3159 really? Based upon your (non) discussion with zero points. La liga trumps EPL even now. Fact is Barcelona have had a ballon d'or winner in their team nearly every year for the last thirty/fourty years. Serie A in late 80s and 90s had the best players too but currently both leagues are struggling financially due to mis management but can still recover.
Premier league with Danny Mills and Jonny Evans can boast all they want but are a retirement league with gullit to vialli to cambiasso to now Ronaldo. All EPL money comes from foreign Sky money too but I admit the FA do have good regulations in place. Though kick and rush football I do not like to watch hence why EPL is a snooze fest.
@@abbey810g omg! You just stated that la liga is better than prem because you had more ballon dor winners (which is 2) 2 players! You must be very young. La liga is nowhere near as competitive a league. You have two teams that dominate the rest. Your style of football is slow. We have 6 teams that can win the league and fight for top 4. We have dominated European football past 5/6 years. Danny Mills? He retired 10 years ago! You are deluded man. Incredibly deluded. All you have is good weather.
@@thamananm3159 hmmm 6 teams that can win the league???!! 😂 Only two have won it in the last five years and only two namely man city and Liverpool have looked like contenders.
Whilst La liga has had three different champions in the last four years with three main contenders. You must not even watch football.
In terms of ballon d'or/World player of the year I mentioned the last thirty to fourty years and go back how far you want - cruyff to Maradona to Real Ronaldo to Figo to Zidane to Ronaldinho and messi etc.
Serie A has had tons. How many have EPL had? One? Two maybe?
I think you must work for the Premier League or Sky cos you team brainwashed EPL.
@@abbey810g do you not know how to do mathematics? We have 4 different teams win the league in the past 6 years. Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester. We have dominated European football over the same period. We have 6 or maybe even 7 teams now as West Ham have improved that can qualify in top 4. Your are deluded. Your talking about 30 to 40 years! Are you serious! Shall I bring up the old Liverpool or Nottingham forest teams! Lol. Every football expert knows that the prem is the best league in the world. Why do you think the best managers come here ? You think Conte will manage sevilla? You think Tuchel would manage Athletico? Bro listen. Your very deluded.
Foreign players don’t really want to live in England for too many years. While sunny Spain is much more appeasing prospect for players and their families.
On top of being football royalty, Madrid and Barcelona are great places to live and I think a lot of people would opt to live in those two cities above anywhere in England, including London.
The Merseyside area has nice areas like crosby and formby. Plus the city centre is mad. The Beatles attraction

Obviously. This has almost ALWAYS been the case..Even as early as the 50s,Real Madrid especially was the place to go. With Barcelona it's started with Cruyff in the early 70s.
The only pull the Premier League has is money.
Real Madrid and Barca are the clubs to play for if you want to be known Worldwide and win Ballon D'Ors.
Even in 2008 when Man Utd were the best team in the World, CR7 left for Madrid..Suarez in 2014 to Barca...etc
Man Utd have really been the only English
club that gets close to having that level of prestige and they are in a slump right now...but even at their peak they were not as attractive at Madrid or Barca
man utd only got going in the early ninties, they won the EC in 68 but were relegated a few years later, lfc has the prestige in england, three more CL/EC and were streets ahead in leagues before SAF, first team to dominate the english game post war

@ian VIII if u want to be a star u play for Barca Madrid 🤡
Best players don't go to Premier league.They all go to la liga
Who in their right mind would choose to live anywhere in dreary, cold, rainy England over Barcelona or Madrid?? To top it off, they are the two biggest clubs in the world. Easy choice
I think it depend entirely on the player and who he idolised as a child. For example I feel like a lot of African players the premier league is their top destination. For example Chelsea and drogba may have inspired other Ivorian players to want to play for Chelsea
Amazing point. I've been to Kenya numerous times. Only teams I notice the people supported were United, Arsenal & some Liverpool.
I think language may have something to do with it also. Most Africans can speak English, most South Americans can speak Spanish.
So if they were to join the leagues, there would be 0 language barriers
Latin players - La Liga
African players - Premier League

Who was Samuel Eto'o and Barcelona,,,,
Living in munich all those years and then being at dortmund before , wouldn’t surprise me if he wants some sunny living 😂😂
Because PSG gave Messi 1 million per week duhhhh!!!! Nobody in the premier league can afford those wages. Look at the wages Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe are on. It’s absolutely disgusting.
Believe it or not the answer is nothing to do with football. The reason Lewandowski stayed at Bayern for so long was down to Anna who refused to leave Munich. She chose Barca as a destination hence why he didn't look at a UK club.
He's a great player but the wife wears the trousers.
What a daft question! Ask all non British players and they will pick Barcelona or realmadrid over any team on the planet
Yes and it’ll always be that way for as long as they’re around.
This obviously is a no brainer as to why any player would rather play for barca real than any premier league club....the premier league is loaded with cash because most teams are owned by individuals but real and barca are still clubs with a lot of authenticity and fans are very much connected to the club and they have a say in what the club does
Not counting the English players, I would say 90% of players would rather play for Barcelona or Real Madrid, than play for a premier league club.
That's funny

I’m Brazilian and I think English football improved a lot. I remember in 90’s and 80’s English teams used play only long balls and crosses. I never saw any English team play like Barcelona, Ajax, Milan and Real Madrid. Alex Ferguson helped a lot English football to change. Even that I don’t think man United had the beautiful football.

It's not hard to understand why mainland Europeans prefer Spain. Weather, similar cultures and Barca/Real Madrid are seen as bigger clubs.
It's the life style.

Depends on the individual - a lot of English players wouldn't want to play abroad - some would... same as other countries - apart from that money talks and then climate
English media are so full of themselves. The world of football does not revolve around England 🙄
Why would someone choose to work hard and get paid the same amount as someone who doesn’t have the same pressures ?
That’s the difference for the premier league and the two la liga teams. It’s a week in slog in the premier league. Another reason why teams outside of the U.K. do well in European cup games. They can go up a gear where as the teams in the prem always have to be at max gear to get anywhere
🤣 come on man. Between 2009 and 2017 LaLiga was the best and most competitive league in the world by miles, and Real and Barça were strong enough to wipe epl teams out year after year. Not to mention Atletico and Sevilla were beating english teams too. You people live in another world, always find excuses 🤣
Bruh have you seen man City? They always rotate their players and still no UCL. And there is more mental pressure while playing for big clubs like Madrid and Barca
Yep Harry 💯 the EPL is greater & definitely tougher than La la liga
Obviously depends on the player and the teams
How did Ambrose get a job as a pundit? 🤔🤔🤣
Nepotism.
Barca and Madrid are the pinnacle of football
The pinnacle of Spanish Football for sure
They are both bigger than all English clubs combined. More fans more trophies more star power. Messi, cr7, R9, maradona, cruff, zidane, Ronaldinho, Romario, Figo, Beckham, roberto Carlos. No club comes close
Sad no one mentions AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus with all the history they have. 12 ucl titles between them. Even Roma, lazio and Napoli so much history
True but in recent times The Serie A has lost a lot of its luster. The league doesn't have the attendance, the money nor the infrastructure that a lot of players find attractive nowadays.
What History does Roma, Lazio and Napoli has? 3 Scuddetos for Roma and 2 Scuddetos each for Lazio and Napoli with one UEFA Cup for Napoli. They have a combined 7 Scuddetos which makes it equal to number of Scuddetos Bologna and Torino have individually.
@@talljib to be fair I think Serie A is slowly improving again and could be on its way back

@@bowbow1034 ok those 3 teams aren't the biggest in Italy but they still have history especially napoli with maradona and everything that intails, he's a god in that city. But all these teams have history on the league and in Europe. Even fiorentina, sampadoria all reached European finals. Parma in the 90s 2 uefa cups. But point being Milan, inter and juve are some of the biggest clubs even and I don't care who's better right now AC Milan are a bigger club than barca.
The big players in Europe don't want to play in England because its a hard game every week not just 4 games a year and the champions league
Sun and Spain vs Rain and England. Of course they choose Madrid and Barca. It amazes me how the English think the Prem has the same importance outside of the UK that it’s does to them. The world doesn’t see the Prem as better than La Liga, Serie A, and the Bundesliga.
It's called viewing figures genius... Proof is in the pudding sweetheart
Lol why you so butthurt? The UK made football. We're the home of football.
Well they do
he mentions the Galacticos... but Ronaldinho at Barca crushed all of them.
doesn't change the fact that Madrid is miles ahead of Barcelona
True, pl got the advantage of how it is managed & marketed over the years. But if you look at the talent pool. Other leagues contributed more players to pl. I In pl you can hardly see any talents raising more often. Imagine if hazard, bernardo silva, drogba, salah, de bruyne, sancho, haaland, henry,aguero , suarez, zlatan, ronaldo, bruno…the list goes on. They all got developed in other leagues. What pl raise in terms of talent in last decade ?? Not much
You gotta think would you rather live in Barcelona, Madrid or fucking Manchester.
That first 5 minutes got kinda deep he was asking some fascinating questions!
Yes. Player's when they were kid grew watching the amazing Southampton, Leicester or Bournemouth instead of Real Madrid.
I think the fact they’re guaranteed champions league football helps. Warm weather also a factor
Plus they’re just bigger better clubs than any in England. This isn’t 2011. City have no history no one wants to live in Liverpool, London clubs are hit or miss(yes Chelsea have won major trophies in the last couple years but the locker room managerial relationship is toxic and the sell of the club from Roman make it a weird scenario.
@@cw1436 chelsea have new owners you know.
Not just bigger better clubs at all. Liverpool have won more European cups than Barcelona, bigger and better means they can also support themselves financially. Which Barca clearly can’t. Madrid yea, they’re the ultimate club no one can even argue that
@@stevenhickman1388 Liverpool can win another UCL but they will never be bigger than Barcelona. STEVEN GERRARD is their biggest ever legend 😂😂Barca has so much bigger history
If Manchester United and/or Liverpool were based in London, I think the pull to sign for those clubs would be similar to Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Not really
Andy Goldstein is the classic clueless premier league fan who thinks football only exists in England and no where else.
Get your facts correct man.Messi didn't choose P$G.He never wanted to leave Barca apart from that Burofax season.He wanted to stay,so Man City backed down and signed Grealish.
And in the end when it was announced that Messi had to leave because we couldn't renew him despite him taking 50% paycut,he had no option.
He cannot go to Madrid,couldn't go to city because they signed Grealish and also couldn't go back to Newell's because he wanted to play UCL.
so what option did he have??
He didn't choose P$G,P$G was the only realistic option at that time.
Exactly. PSG was his only option. If City had known he would become available they wouldn't have signed Grealish.
@@ThomasWilliams89 yes.100%
Lewandowski chose Barcelona because this is one the biggest clubs and it would be easier for him to develop his image and brand there basic on scored goals and team wins. He also said that weather in England is a problem, but real deal is a bigger competition i PL but he won't admit it. 9 years ago he could go to Real Madrid on free transfer but chose Bayern because he knew it would be easier to scrore more goals there and in Real it would be rivarly with Benzema
He simply cannot become the biggest player in the world if he doesn't come to EPL those league's he chose are far too easier
Yep, 100%. Any Barca game over any premier league game
Leeds fan here, bit disrespectful we didn’t get a mention or Yorkshire in general, definitely a lot of potential in us given the right backing, out of deciding to play for Liverpool or man United, it’s got be Liverpool all day long, and playing for a foreign club it’s gotta be Ajax Amsterdam!
Absolutely no chance Madrid and Barcelona are a more attractive proposition to live in than Leeds or Birmingham!!!
I agree! Leeds is a lovely place coming from a Leeds lad who has now moved 15 mile away from Leeds 😂 still have Elland road over camp nou( heart talking)
It's the weather over here, the food plus the what family thinks, not always just the players choice 🤔
the obsession wih premier league is idiotic. For most of the 2010s the sanish league was superior. Now its the best again. The margin is small however. These idiots really think messi is gonna retire and be like what if I joined Arsenal and prove myself against Wolves.
Unless you're English, 95% of professional football players would select the Spanish giants over English teams.

@@JW-db8bz No it's not. Premier league is only the best in PR (media), funding and marketing. Football wise...Nope
It's easier, and to stack the numbers
Fools in the comment section say EPL is the hardest league. I ask them is EPL is the hardest league then how come your teams get beaten up on average a lot of times by the spanish teams?
Also La Liga isnt that easy either. Its dominated by Real Madrid and Barcelona because they are the biggest teams not only in Spain but also the world. If we remove Real madrid and Barcelona from the league and add in Tottenham and arsenal in that league they would be still beaten by Atletico Madrid to the top finish.
They are the two biggest clubs in history, of course.
Epl is by far the best league but Barca and Real are far ahead of any English club in terms of pull
BY far is a bit of an overstatement. Richest league? Yes. Best League? Hell NO.
@@micahkiyimba8641 how is it not the best league?
@@cfcmnotho7851
La Liga has twice the European trophies as PL.
@Putin’s Shoulder Angel even then we know man city will win it or in an off chance Liverpool
@Putin’s Shoulder Angel In the last 5 years City have won 4/5 titles, they have won 6/10 premier league titles overall. In Spain, Madrid/Barca have won 2/5 each and Barca have won 5/10. In terms of different winners, the Prem has 4 different winners to Spains 3 in the last 10 years and the Prem has 2 to Spains 3 in the last 5 years.
If you look at it, the Prem is truly not that much (if at all) more competitive than the La Liga this past decade and actually far less competitive over the more recent past 5 years.
Players will always pick Barca and Madrid over any PL team.
Both Real and Barca have greater history than all of prem combined tbh...
London is one of the most attractive Cities for the wealthy to live in. It’s a massive pull of a player is looking to that “Big City Lifestyle”
Players going to Real Madrid go there to compete with its history, Cristiano surpassing Raul, Di Stefano & creating new records, Benzema doing that now. At Barca, they go there to be remembered playing beautiful football lol.
u delusional.. u think having cruyff, kubala, gento, original Luis Suarez, Maradona, romario, stoichkov, laudrup, koeman, Ronaldo 9,Rivaldo, Figo, Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Deco, Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Messi, Henry, Villa, Neymar, Suarez and now Lewandowski is not compete with its history

another thing people miss. live in barcelona / madrid or manchester. i'd b off to the sun
I think location has a lot to do with why players prefer spain
Obviously, I love Newcastle, but who would move there over Barcelona or Madrid?
Premier league of course the hardest but any elite players would chose Barça or Mardrid ahead of any prem teams! Cavalho of Chelsea side “ he would swim to Spain” if Mourinho called him to ply for Madrid ahead of his transfer!
The only attraction with Barcelona and Real Madrid, is the sheer fact that 'most' seasons, the league is decided by either one of them. They have a fantastic history, and are extremely strong in the Champions League. But the cherry on the cake, isn't so much the football, but the lifestyle and the weather that Spain has to offer; which the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea (and at one time, Manchester United) can't!
You should ask Trevor Sinclair the question!! He was speaking out of his ass a few weeks ago, calling a sugar-daddy club with no pedigree (manchester city), a much more attractive prospect than Madrid and Barca.
That crap has aged well now, innit??!!
Messi doesn’t have to go to the EPL to prove anything, he has played against the top EPL teams during he’s career. Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal, Man United and so on. And he has come out on top 9 times out of 10. The EPL is not the standard of all Football mate. Last time I checked, Spanish clubs are more successful than any other league
That's why CR7 is considered greater than Messi if he came to the EPL he'd be utter crap just like he's playing in France now a much easier league than the EPL
Barcelona Fc have bought Former Bayern Munich Fc and top Scorer Robert Lewandowski 33 years old
Barca and Real Madrid will always be the biggest clubs in the world.
@ian VIII don't cry
Apart from the fact that Madrid Barca are looked as the pinnacle of football. You would also eventually win more silverware if you are playing for a Barcelona or a Madrid. Premier league's too congested, many top teams, very competitive, less recovery time and after all this you are not guaranteed a trophy. NOT everyone has the heart to take on a challenge of this kind specially when you are at a certain age. A player's career is too short just to play in the most competitive league in the world for the sake of it.
Yes they are
Bayern is aswell. Maybe Juventus was at one point. PSG are only attractive because of money
lol Messi has demolished all the top English sides, crazy record against England. He has nothing to prove.
Would you rather live in Barcelona, Madrid, Paris or Salford?
Keeping english players aside most of the all time greats of the game(in last 30 years atleast)have atleast played for one of them and a very very few of them have played in pl and also sky is blue
Real Madrid beating all three of the Top EPL teams in a row last season should just sum it up.
Facts
"HAS HE GOT A GIRLFRIEND OR HAS HE BUILD IT FROM LEGO?" that is so disrespectful. Pathetic
One major factor in deciding which league is better ....fans .. ours are funny,loud,best songs and the casuals dress great we've got it all ...20 great teams and staduims (apart from Bournemouth🤣)... Spain got two teams . .plus we've got great cities London,Manchester ,Liverpool, BIRMINGHAM, Nottingham ,Leeds,Newcastle...etc
Agreed but real and Barca remain the pinnacle.
Two iconic clubs, obviously players want to play there.
We always had more pull the prem average wage salary is just more🤷♂️
The Spanish La Liga teams have won 19 CL so far, not bad for a ''Farmers league'' compared to the self-proclaimed ''Best league in the world'' 14 CL trophies. If money was not an issue, most football players will choose to play for Barcelona or Real Madrid.
Well yeah because the best players play for Spain's big two, so not difficult to win more CL trophies when you have the very best players playing for you. Considering the PL clubs haven't had the very best players playing for them, the CL record is very good. I don't think anybody calls La Liga a farmers league.
@@Enigmatized13 That is It is not always the case that having the best players will win you the CL. The Premier league teams have the financial power to buy and assemble bigger and stronger squads, so you could say it is easier for them to challenge and win the CL. Premier League teams do have some of the best players in the world. Van Dyke, De Bruyne, Bernado Silva, Salah, Mane, T.A. Arnold, Reese James, so your statement that only Barca and Real have the best players is just nonsense. Why do they continue to attract the best and have the best players? Because they are the biggest, the most prestigious, and most glamorous clubs in the world. Rafinha would rather earn less and play for a financially troubled Barcelona than earn more playing for Chelsea. When I say ''farmers league'' I mean that the La Liga is only a two-horse race between Barca and Real, and maybe once in a while, Atletico might win or challenge the big two. La Liga is not a very competitive league like the Premier League, and yet they still manage to win 19 CL.
So when Nottingham Forest won the CL twice in a row after having just been promoted 2 years earlier, you think that other leagues in Europe can match that?
The problem with this debate is football is cyclical. We had the dominant league in the 70s/80s based on CL trophies won. Then it went to Italy, then to Spain, now looks like it is starting to swing to the Prem.
But we literally can't confirm the future mate. This is a silly debate. Our league is the best league because of it's comeptitive nature.
I live in Spain and watch La Liga and whilst I appreciate both Madrid and Barca, the rest of the league is ridiculously poor. It's possible to have the two best teams in football but not have the best league in the world.
@@southerner6852 The debate here is not who has the best league. The debate here is in the title of this video.
''Are Barcelona & Real Madrid a more attractive move than the Premier League to players?''
I made my points and argument in my previous comments. I agree football is cyclical, and I also said that La Liga is not a very competitive league like the Premier League.
''So when Nottingham Forest won the CL twice in a row after having just been promoted 2 years earlier, you think that other leagues in Europe can match that?''
So, this is a ''silly debate'' and then you make a silly comment like this. I can also be silly and point out that Real Madrid has won 14 CL alone, that is as many CL the entire Premier League teams have won combined, you think that other leagues in Europe can match that?
Look, mate, we can have a civilized and mature debate and agree to disagree, but please don't get so easily triggered by other people's opinions and comments.
@@Zizoudinho10 I'm not triggered mate. Just pointing out that two of the CL titles England has was won by a team that got promoted a year before and won it twice in a row.
That could never happen in La Liga. Believe me I know, I actually live here now and watch the league and have done for several years.
Two biggest teams are Madrid and Barca in that order, but Madrid is the only ultimate team in Spain.
Milan, Liverpool and Bayern have more CL titles mate.
Just shows how the media narrative has made fans so ignorant. Do some research and see what Real Madrid’s net spend is on transfers over the last 10 years compared to the rest of the big clubs of the world and you’ll be surprised to see them close to the bottom
FC Barcelona has already created its own history for years and has marked a time when English clubs kept kicking the goalkeeper long, and making fun of short corners. The Chelsie is simply creating its own path, its own history... There is no comparison possible. Another thing is the historic Liverpool or Manchester U. with much more history and epic in Europe. Despite the Barça current economic situation still has credit, earned the respect and admiration of the football world for a while.
On the other hand, with all due respect to Chelsie or London, it's not Sitges or Barcelona. But that can always be arranged with a good sum of pounds from the State/Oligarchic Club on duty to compensate for all days without bright sun.
Finally you termed league 1 as Farmer's league and yet Manchester City have won 4/5 of the previous tittles and I bet most of you fancy City to do it again
Don't mind them, just absolutely rubbish. I remember people said Pep couldn't play or dominant in England with his play style, but guess what his dominanting the league and all of a sudden every team wants to copy his style. Man United hires ETH, enough said.
United is one of the biggest club in the world
And also a joke
Your the most overrated club itw only had 2 successful managers in your whole history but your deluded fanbase act like you have always been the dominant team in English football. Your literally only famous for a plane crash which your club profited from. Liverpool are Englands true successful club countless successful managers and dominating not only domestically but in Europe where it matters unlike manure
It's about way of life and these player's know there more likely going to win the balon d'Or and they know they will score more goals that's why I agree Ronaldo is the best because he's done it in all the top league's
Play in the hardest league and earn alot play in an easier league and earn alot. Why would you come to the epl? Same pay different level of difficulty. Laliga makes players look good...they have time to play excellent technical football in a culture that isn't all about smashing the opponent. The Premier league is harder. Its Lot rougher.
There are clubs
There are super clubs and there are clubs who wants to be super clubs
And above all of them there is Barcelona and Real Madrid the pinnacle of football
Not a hard question. Money.
Yes..Real Madrid n Barcelona are e two best clubs in e world...So many footballer will want to play for either one of them at least once in their playing career whenever have e opportunity!!!! Is a status to being label as one of e best players once u have play for either one of e them! Then is follow by Liverpool n Man United, which are also attractive cos of their rich history n many trophies that they have won other that PL is e richest n most competitive league in e world...u can see so many players in e PL in e past all flow to either Real Madrid n Barcelona once they were approached by their two clubs...even Man United, u seen C7 Ronaldo, Pique, David Beckham, Spurs Bale, Modric, Woodgate, etc etc plus many more ..Cos they e label as e best two clubs in e world....and they only want t o sign e best players...Your status will rise and will consider e best players categories once u sign for these two clubs!! No player will want to miss it!!!
