Your entire counter-argument presents a hypothetical scenario (like City v RM this season) which would be termed as a one-off.
Jamdav, messi2140, and I have repeatedly tried to tell you our argument is based on the sum of LL's results in Europe over 10 years. That includes maybe 30 KO ties between LL and teams from other leagues.
European super league would be even better than CL/Europa. Agreed. From the currently EXISTING options, long term CL and Europa results are infinitely better than your "criteria".
First of all, why 10 and not 20 or 30 or 40 years? Who decides the span?
But most importantly: can you prove that the so called 'sum of LL's results in Europe over 10 years' is not made of one-offs?
Probably not...
Can you prove that the sum does not include many head to head ties of uneven balance as well? Like a tie between a top tier team (1-3 in Spain) vs a 2nd tier team in England (4-7th)?
Probably not again...
let's see if in a given span, what you say makes any sense:
Recall a little bit the knock-out head to head in CL and EL the last 2 seasons in particular:
19/20:
Liverpool - Atleti -> one-off (Liverpool miles better)
City - RM -> City through (and better team overall by miles)
SEvilla - Utd -> one-off (Utd unlucky not to go through and better ream than Sevilla overall last season)
Sevilla - Wovles -> Sevilla through, and better?
Wolves - Espanyol -> Wolves through and better
18/19:
Barca-Liverpool-> you know
Barca - Utd -> Barca better and went through
Arsenal - Valencia (EL) -> Arsenal through and better
And this season we don't know yet, in the group stage a deficient Chelsea thrased Sevilla 0-4.
So, the last 3 years at least, if someone uses your 'sum of results' criterion will conclude that LL is on par with EPL, as 4 times English sides beat Spanish sides, and the rest vice versa.
Whereas,
in reality, you had Spanish teams being better than the English opponent in only 2 ties out of 8, and in those cases you had ties of uneven balance (the best Spanish team playing the 6th English team or the 4th Spanish team playing the 10th English team. Which means that those ties are not indicative at all of the level between the leagues)
while in the rest of the ties either there was an one-off where a better English side got knocked out, or the English side went through (not in an 'one-off' fashion)
Therefore, you have not proven really anything: The sum of "LL vs EPL" head to head ties only blurred the reality of EPL being country miles better than LL in 18/19 and 19/20.
Plus, you see how many one-offs you can have in a cup competition.
The prestige of CL will not save your argument
Cup competition success is a bad metric, and 'it's the only available' cry will not cut it.
