Not all the better players.

Plenty opt to sign for the better EPL teams when have options also.

But of course when it comes to the top top teams there is more competition for players.

Maybe they are still #1 because the other leagues are also not making a convincing case for themselves (Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal were dogshit in the groups) but they are also not "by far the best and most entertaining league".

That's what I mean they are better but in a way like it's being the smartest person in a land of intellectually challenged folk. And given their advantages in money and viewership around the world, it's an underwhelming margin they're the best by.

And I watch some games in the PL (all Man United games as an ABU and some of the other games) and they're not generally great to watch. This 'it's so fast' is overstated too. Some games have no pace to them at all. Just seems a bunch of stereotypes at this point.

The big games this season especially have been a tough watch.

Most of the people who are fans of real madrid barca also watch the premier league. Nowadays its like everyone watches the premier league but the English average fans are so invested in the premier league they dont really follow other leagues.

Exactly.. they all watch the EPL.

Fans from Spain are just as ignorant of every other league bar EPL. So not a major difference really.

What happens in EPL is that they have money to elevate the midtable sides to a higher more competitive level. But at the top, you're fighting with bigger clubs for players, that have big money also. So the better players still go to likes of Madrid, PSG, Bayern. Barca less so but only because of money. When Raphinha and Kounde had offers from Barcelona vs other big EPL sides at comparative money, it was only one place they would go.

Only Arsenal wanted Raphinha in England

Only Chelsea wanted Kounde

Very few. If anything players like Kane and Arnold who were among the elite in EPL on their positions jumped ship and moved up to bigger clubs abroad.

Bayern have lost targets to EPL.

Haaland was chased by Real and Barca etc.

Bayern were even said to be trying to sign Woltemade.

Plenty more.

Woltemade is not a big player. They didn't want him at quoted price.

Haaland is the only exception of a star moving to EPL I think.

Certainly not comparable to Ronaldo, Suarez, Bale, Arnold, Kane and many big stars leaving the league as end move in their careers.

We can all play this game:

•Diego Forlan left the EPL and became best striker in La Liga.
•Modric left EPL and became La Liga's best Midfielder of his era.
•Antony left Utd and outscored all Barca Players in the league.
•Pique left Man Utd and became Barcelona's greatest CB.
•Bale left Spurs and became the best Left footed player after Messi.
•Iago Aspas left Liverpool and Celta Vigo built him a statue.
•Joselu left Stoke and took Madrid to a UCL title.
•Moreno left Liverpool and became idolized at Villarreal.
•Sorloth left Crystal Palace and he's having a better season than all Barcelona strikers.
•Di Maria left Man Utd but don't forget he was a legend at Madrid.
•Paulinho left Spurs, but became instrumental to Barca winning a title.
•Stuani left Middlesbrough but became an icon at Girona
•Falcao left Utd & Chelsea but was a beast at Atletico

La Liga fans will say Hazard failed in Spain

Endless argument 🤷🏻‍♂️

You have copied that from tweet going about earlier and that is against La Liga anyway.
