You say this but the gap in points between the top of La Liga and the bottom was exactly the same as in the PL.

But the 16th placed PL team made the EL semis (after a 17th placed team win it the year before) and a mid-table PL team won the ECL.

I’ve posted a YT vid on here a couple of times before about how a lower-mid PL team would be fighting for a CL spot in La Liga/Serie A/Bundesliga…I’ll try to find it and add to this thread.

You're conflating arguments now. Initially you claimed that La Liga had gimmie games and I pointed out to you that no it doesn't, then you said the gap was bigger in La Liga and again I pointed out to you the points gap was literally exactly the same. Now you're talking how well a 16th placed team did in an inter League cup competition. That doesn't demonstrate the difference of strength internally within each league and you can show me the video, cool that's their opinion but I watch both leagues and I don't agree that there are any gimmie games in La Liga, especially for the top teams. That's just not true.

Watch the league next season and I don't just mean the El Classico, but really watch the league you'll see what I'm saying.

Fair enough, I don’t watch anything outside the PL (and I’m watching less and less of that now due to several reasons, mainly having a young family) but you can’t argue with the fact PL teams have dominated European competitions over the past few seasons.

I mean, the likes of WHam, Crystal Palace, and even a poor injury-riddled Spurs team have won meaningful trophies. A relegation-battling Forest team made the EL semis (beaten by another PL team) and the season before Chelsea walked the ECL before going on to win the Club World Cup. The PL is the most competitive league from top-to-bottom…any analysis will confirm that.

Even a TF-led team (with a backup RB playing LW) thumped the second best German team 3-0 last season and a Tudor-led team gave Atletico a proper game outside of a comical 20-minute spell.

Anyways, this is a Romero thread…great header to win the game last night.

great header to win the game last night.

Not really
He did well to get there, but he flicked his header wide and it hit the arm of the defender and went in

doesn't matter, the goal gets recorded on the internet and positively affects his transfer value

anyone else getting worried that he might stay ?
