La Liga has absolutely dominated European and world football at the club level. In the past 5 years, they have won almost all noble titles, 19 out of 20 titles. As in the 2013/14 and 2015/16, La Liga had 3 representatives competing in the European Cup finals. In particular, the direct matches for the Champions League title are all matches between the two teams of the capital Madrid, Real and Atletico.
However, football is constantly changing and they cannot be at the top forever. This season, La Liga teams have clearly declined. The greatest team of the 20th century - Real Madrid was eliminated by Ajax right at the Bernabeu in round 1.8 of the Champions League. Atletico were in the same situation when Ronaldo's Juventus issued a painful elimination. Barcelona is the only representative of Spanish football in the Champions League arena.
The Bundesliga even has no representative in this year's Champions League. Top teams such as Bayern and Dortmund were all defeated by the English representatives themselves. The problem for German sides lies in finances, as they do not have enough potential to compete with Premier League sides. Although only Bayern Munich can be compared in this aspect, the gray lobster's policy is very consistent in never buying players at too high a value.
English football has reformed strongly in recent years. They not only invest in buying a large number of players but also focus on developing young players. Moreover, the land of fog is home to many of the best coaches in the world. Pep Guardiola, Klopp, Pochettino are all top experts. Not only are they excellent in terms of expertise, the ability to manage and improve the team of these strategists is undeniable.
Michael Owen predicts one of the English sides to win the Champions League this season: I am impressed with what English football has shown this season. Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur all qualified for the quarter-finals. These clubs are all maintaining a lot of stability, I think all of the above clubs are capable of winning the championship.
Its only been 10 years since four English sides reached the quarter-finals, I thought a Premier League side would win the Champions League this season. Liverpool and Manchester City are the teams that I think have the highest chance of winning the championship, of course M.U and Tottenham also have a chance to win this tournament.
Agreeing with the above view, Rio Ferdinand believes that the Premier League's dominating era has come: "We mentioned the pre-match cycle between Bayern vs Liverpool and it seems it is moving towards supporting England."
The Premier League is the most exciting tournament in the world. However, in the European Cup, English teams are always underestimated to some extent. After many investments as well as the right strategies have changed. English sides can now confidently face and overthrow the forces in Europe.
