    Because it isn't and only SKY and BT Sports say it is .

    For commercial reasons of course .

    The day Man Utd , Liverpool or City take a top player off Barcelona , Real Madrid or even Bayern Munich will be a first .

    seems to me that the Spanish La Liga is THE top league.

    It's like comparing T20 cricket with the Ashes.
    Exciting, attacking over hyped, crash bang wallop, but not the most skilful.
    Most of the top defenders play in Spain & Italy.

    just goes to show how far our top teams have come, even though they have foreign managers and foreign players do we think it is time to restrict the number of foreign players in each team / starting eleven for every league.. english, spanish, german, french etc.... then and only then could we say which is the best league

    Who's gonna win it this year, not be Spanish, Italian or German ? Which country has the most clubs who have won à European competition ?
