Yeah, the EPL may not be the best league in Europe (certainly behind Bundesliga and La Liga at the very least), it may very well be the deepest, with teams way down the ladder being competitive against the top teams.
Much harder to win multiple trophies there and still manage a successful EUFA campaign, as the domestic titles are just harder to come by week in and week out, and they can’t cruise a bit and focus on the UEFA games as much.
I feel like the EPL usually has five or six contenders each season, while the entire rest of Europe seems to have about 9 or 10 contenders spread across 5 leagues.
Ligue 1 seems more competitive to me now that Lyon is somewhat dethroned, but the teams outside of PSG and Marseille are also boring.
