Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester City were the 5 teans from the English Premier League to have earned direct qualification to the knockout stage in the UEFA Champions League.
Alongwith the 5 clubs from England, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Sporting from Portugal also made it directly to the Round of 16.
The EPL’s dominance in the Champions League is testimony to the quality of football being played in England at the moment. No wonder EPL is one such league where the competition is severe, and there are no weak teams. Every club has the potential to win against any team, which makes it a real spectacle.
The fact that, barring Manchester City for a few years, no Club has dominated the EPL. The emergence of relatively smaller clubs like Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest has added further spice to the league and has helped unearth some brilliant talent.
Within the Premier League, there are several rivalries which bring out the best in teams and keep them fiercely competitive in Europe. The London Derbies and the Merseyside Clashes carry a lot of interest in England.
The EPL undoubtedly is the League of Europe.
