There are plethora of football leagues around the world. But the European football leagues are in the zone of their own.

English Premier League (EPL), Spanish La Liga and Italian Serie A are some of the major leagues of Europe while Ligue 1 and Bundes Liga are just treated as "farmers leagues".

With the CR7's arrival in Saudi Arabia, The Roshan Saudi Pro League has received a new life and has attracted big names like Firminio, Neymar, Benzema, Mane etc from around the world. At the same time some argue that the North American football has been inspired with a new life with Lionel Messi's arrival.

So in your opinion, which league is the best in the world and what makes you feel good about them?
 
For me its Serie A rather than popular opinion regarding EPL. Since Ronaldo and Abrahimovic's arrival things are going pretty fine and the best part is their YouTube channel with three minutes highlights for every match.
 
Definitely the EPL, Serie A is nowhere near it and definitely surpassed La Liga. It is the most competitive helped by the TV riches.

I think the racism issues in these other leagues like Serie A and La Liga downplay its quality. Not saying England is immune but nowhere near as bad.
 
This is a bit of a open questions as depends on definition of best?

Best over quality?

Most technical?

Most competitive?

Most exciting?

As their can be answers for each one
 
Inter Millan have ran away with league in Italy, Leverkusen in Germany and Real in Spain. Whereas you have three teams fighting it out for EPL title. EPL has been a lot more exciting and competitive than elsewhere.

At the end of the day, its whichever league you enjoy watching the most, if Serie A floats your boat more than EPL, then you'll like that better. I watch the Scottish Premiership sometimes which is pretty low quality.

But because of the money, EPL has the better teams and better players overall than S.A. Look at last season's CL for example, Man City romped it against Inter.

In fact when was the last time an Italian team won the CL?

Outside of the top 3 in PL this season, rest of league has been woeful. Also look at how poorly PL teams have been in Europe this season.

Inter Milan 09-10

Serie A hasn't dominated the CL for ages. Probably between early 90s and 07 they were dominant. Back then Serie A had most money and vast majority of best players.

Aye, but overall, they've been pretty good over the last few seasons, I think first time for a while no English side has made it to the semis for either CL or Europa.

If you look back at the 90s when serie A was televised on channel 4 in UK, in particular the level of strikers at almost every Italian club was insane back then.

You look at football in general now and world class strikers are a rare breed now

We still in the ‘semis’ mate 😅
 
Has to be the Premier League.

The other leagues are pretty much a 2 way race every season, with the EPL, it is just unpredictable. One minute its in the bag with Arsenal, and the next, Man City come out of nowhere. Had shockers too with Blackburn and Leicester City winning.

Yes mate, I was joking about my English club still being there lol It would be mental if we managed to win it, nothing to show since 1982 in Europe 😭 we may have been there in the 90’s if they had the top 4 rule then, it’s been a long dry spell
 
I am looking at it from results

What I am seeing, given none of the English Clubs, barring one have made it in UCL that English Premier league seems to be pretty mediocre - especially given the hype around the English Premier League

Exactly, in a lot of cases their is no excuses for how the English teams have gone out in Europe and also the teams they have gone out to.
 
I like La Liga for its amazing football quality and talented players. The matches are always exciting to watch, and the league never disappoints.

Its just one season, luck of the draw paired some of the toughest fixtures but English clubs have been largely dominant over the seasons fuelled by the TV money and oil sheikhs.

Its got racism problems, treatment of Vini jr is disgraceful.
 
For excitement and competitiveness the Championship is a brilliant league. A graveyard of ex Premier League clubs all desperate to go up. It's a brilliant watch and the playoffs are especially crazy
 
Bundesliga has different kind of feel , top notch stadiums sophisticated fans and eye catching kits with exciting football
 
I would say English Premier League as for me it is the most competitive league at the moment.
 
Atlanta's victory in Europa League has proved that Serie A is better than Bundes Liga. And of EPL they are still go but will lose its worth over time with the exit of big managers and owners like Abramovich etc
 
Football is entertainment. No league comes close to the premier league , the history , stadiums, physical , high tempo , crowd songs , best managers & overall the best players .
