Of the last twelve international trophies available in club football, La Liga have made a clean sweep. There is no real competition here – the top clubs of La Liga are simply better than those of the Premier League. Since the turn of the millenium, there have been 64 international club trophies on offer. The Premier League has only won 8 of those – La Liga? 30.

Let me repeat that – Thirty.

It has reflected in UEFA’s co-efficient rankings – in the top 10 there are 4 La Liga clubs, with Chelsea languishing behind them all in 10^th place as the only English representative. There really is no better argument – La Liga is not just better than the Premier League, but the rest of the world as well.

Gary Lineker’s iconic quote is better amended thus :

“Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans Spaniards always win.”
