Where did you all build the notion from that if a player doesn't fit Barca he is not world class?

Do you measure everything by Barca standards? DELUDED :lol:

Facepalm everytime I see the La Liga > EPL blunt argument, as if a league of 2 contenders is better than one of 5 just because 2 teams happen to have "the best players in the world". Elaborate a little more, use stats, etc.

Yeah, 5 contenders, Chelsea struggled so much.

The notion that the Premier League has 5 contenders is utterly ridiculous. The last time the league had more than 3 contenders was more than a decade ago and in recent times it has been no more than two credible contenders.

Last league I would agree, Chelsea outplayed everyone (in points)

Have you done the simple task of checking Champions stats in the last 20 years in both leagues?

PL have had 4 champions in the last 20 years with Man Utd and Chelsea dominating and Arsenal with 3 and Man City with 2 trophies each.

LL have had 5 champions. Barca and RM dominating. Atletico with two, Valencia with two and Deportivo with one title.

Most english teams are pathetic in Europe. Naive football and get beaten all the time despite having th most money.

How many teams Spanish teams outside Barcelona and Real Madrid have won the Champions league...I think you'll find the answer to that is 0. La liga has been a two team league for as long as I have been alive, and you are quick to forget the 6 year period in which Madrid could not even get past the knock-out stage with that said the best teams right now are arguably Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The quality from top to bottom in the premier league however is matched by nobody in the world ultimately leading to a higher level of competition, and that is one of the main contributories as to why for the last however many years it has been the most viewed and most popular League in the world, I don't see that changing any time soon either.

Alexis Sanchez being world class? well that depends on what you level as world class, I see no merit in comparing pique or aguerro to him as they are different positions... is he one of the top players in his position? without a doubt and top 5 this year imo.

The Europe was owned by Spanish teams... 2 years in a row! And it was not just Barca or Real, the "2 contenders" who have done that, Sevilla did so too!

all 11 of Barcelona's starting lineup are world class players.

The premier league is garbage. A buyers league through and through, hardly any homegrown talent of note, lackluster tactics, etc.


For example, who buys players from bottom EPL sides? No one, because they suck. Who buys players from bottom Spanish, Italian, and French sides? Everyone, namely the EPL, because the talent they produce leaves a lot to be desired.

Yes, the Epl is sooooo great.
Huge hype,huge marketing and money galore but shite football.
We made City look like a pub team even last year when we were hopeless. All those "competitive "English teams get kod by much lesser names in Europe especially in the Europa league. We were given a much tougher time by the likes of Celta ,Malaga, Valencia etc.

If we played in the Epl it would be a cakewalk. All epl teams can do is hoof the ball and foul.
Let's look at the epl Cl wins.
99-utd was a fluke. Very lucky. Bayern choked.
2005-livrpool. Again luck. Milan thought the match was won and went to sleep. Still dominated 90% of that match. WON ON PENALTIES.
2008 Utd parked the bus against a Barça who were so poor but still deserved to win.

2012 the biggest fluke in football history. Despite being battered in 4 out of the last 5matches Chelsea manage to win on penalties. Napoli, Barca and Bayern all destroyed Chelsea but lacked any luck.

NOT ONE CL VICTORY OF AN EPL TEAM HAS BEEN EMPHATIC. Not one.

Yeah totally agree mate, might aswell just not count those trophies. Especially United's treble where we were drawn in a group with barca and bayern, then after went on to beat Inter and Juve and then bayern again in the final. Definitely not Emphatic even though we didn't lose a single game but yeah i totatly see where you are coming from.

Also in 2008 it wasn't as if United were the best team in the world again was it, only went an managed to get to the final again the next year being the closest team to ever win it back to back and lost to one of the best teams ever to play football but yeah no worries mate, totally agree.
