I don't take much interest in the Champions League but was curious when three English clubs drew German sides in the last 16. I wondered how they would fare. Well obviously all three progressed and the result was P6 W5 D1 F17 A3. Pretty emphatic I would say and we now have four teams in the QF compared to one each for Italy, Holland, Portugal and Spain respectively. Proof if it was needed that the PL is the strongest league in Europe if not the World |  |

The German league id usually weaker than the top flight in England. Obviously they have had great success in Europe, but not a sustained greatness. I would argue that the Spanish top flight is equal to the top flight here. |  | | |

The defending in the Bundersliga is a bit kamakazi at times to be fair. |  | | |

Personally, I take zero pride in the Premier Greed being the 'best league in the world'. It has the most money and is simply able to snaffle up the best talent from around the world. Besides, what's the metric..? In terms of competitiveness it's a joke, with the same cartel of clubs playing pass the parcel with all the major trophies every season (although this is an problem in pretty much every major European league - thank the Champions League for that); in terms of the matchday experience, the PL is lightyears behind, say, the Bundesliga, where you can pay 14 Euros to stand on a terrace, with a beer in your hand, and go nuts for 90 minutes without the threat of a steward dragging you out of the ground... |  |

Not good at all, is it — utterly unhealthy for the sport. | |

I hope Barca win the champions league. Preferably after hammering the s5it out of Man City along the way. |  |

English clubs have done well so far this season, but to say the EPL is the strongest is a bit of a short term view.
Spanish clubs have made up 7 of the last 10 finalists and winning all 5.
English teams have made 1 final appearance in the last 6 years... |  |

I'd still much prefer to watch Bundesliga football than the Prem. |  |

But that's one rich club beating another rich club, if you want it for the benefit of football then Ajax winning the CL would be better at least they've built the team on youngsters they developed?
PS. Obviously it's possible Ajax also pinched some of those youngsters from other Durch clubs. |  | | |
