Looks like Real Madrid, Barcelona and PSG are causing the most unrest because the leagues they play in are less competitive in comparison to England, Germany and Italy. Maybe the Spanish, Portuguese and French leagues should merge to make them more attractive to a global audience. Seems crazy that smaller countries like Holland and Belgium haven't merged by now. Historically there are obvious reasons for each country having its' own league but not anymore.
