It is often said and believed among English football fans that the Premier League is the best league in the world. Rather, it would be more accurate to say the most balanced, but the strongest teams are definitely not playing in it. Real Madrid could tell a story about that.
It is often said and believed among English football fans that the Premier League is the best league in the world. Rather, it would be more accurate to say the most balanced, but the strongest teams are definitely not playing in it. Real Madrid could tell you about that.
“The Premier League is the best league in the world,” any fan of island football will tell you. In terms of balance, viewership and attractiveness, the English competition is unrivalled.
However, when it comes to comparison with other big teams in Europe, it is not always so glorious. Since 2009, Spanish teams have dominated the Champions League 8 times, English teams only three times. Over the same period, Spain have also dominated the Europa League 8 times, the English have also only three times.
And as for mutual matches, don’t go there to Real Madrid with the best league in the world. In fact, Los Blancos have managed to beat Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool twice in the last year alone.
When Real Madrid were losing 0:2 at Anfield, social media was filled with comments like “Welcome to England” and ” Proof why the Premier League is the best league in the world”.
But Real Madrid have shown everyone why they have the upper hand over England in recent times. Vinícius called a turnaround, Los Blancos scored 5 goals and completely silenced Anfield Road, where by the end there was only a celebratory “OLÉ ” from the away sector for every pass from the players in white.
The expert Jamie Carragher was also frequently letting himself into the Real. “Real Madrid was one of the teams that won the Champions League last year thanks to the best of luck,” he was quoted as saying in the studio before the game.
But after the 2-5 defeat, he was left with nothing but tears. “I don’t feel so good, well done Madrid. I’ve never seen a team come to Anfield and demolish Liverpool like that in Europe. Shameful,” he gushed after the game.
