La Liga Is More Successful Than The Premier League
The conversation on which league is better between the Premier League and La Liga Santander has been on for a long time, with different opinions on the subject. There is no doubt that both leagues are incredible. The media, especially the English media, has portrayed the EPL as the best league in the world, and no League is as good as the EPL. The EPL is overrated, and that's a fact, they are stats out there to prove this statement without a doubt.
The EPL is better than La Liga in spending, which has helped some clubs with wealthy owners improve the squad and hire top coaches to manage the team, but it's not the same for La Liga. The FFP in La Liga doesn’t allow clubs in the league to spend much in the transfer market. The profit a club brings in must be on the same level as the amount they spend, that is how La Liga works.
This is one of the reasons wealthy businessmen prefer to invest and buy a club in the EPL than La Liga but still, it does not affect the style these Spanish teams play their football. The Uefa Champions League and Europa League is a perfect example, while La Liga clubs are better than EPL teams. In the history of UCL, a total of 19 trophies have been won by La Liga clubs, while a total of 14 trophies have been won by Premier League clubs in the competition.
In the Europa League La Liga clubs still dominated the competition winning a total of 14 trophies, while Premier League clubs have won it a total of 7 times. The intriguing part about the Europa League is that only one La Liga club has lost to an EPL club in a final which was between Liverpool and Alaves in the 2000/2001 season, no EPL club has managed to beat a La Liga club in a Europa League Final.
When it comes to head-to-head stats between La Liga clubs vs EPL clubs in the UCL from group stage matches to the final. It shows the Spanish side has won a total of 50 matches, drawn 44 matches, and lost 39 matches source. These stats clearly show La Liga has always been the dominant side when both teams go head to head but the English media won’t tell about this but rather hype their players and in the end, those players won’t reach up the hype.
La Liga is more successful in the number of players that have won the Ballon d'Or. The League has recorded 24 wins for the prestigious award which is higher than any other league in the world. The EPL is not second nor third on the list, they are fourth on the list and have recorded six awards won by six players in the league.
La Liga's style of play is different from the EPL. La Liga teams depend more on tactics, and Casimero confirmed it is easier to play in the EPL than in La Liga. Pep Guardiola is using that same form of tactic in the EPL, which has made him successful since he arrived at the league and has won the title five times since he joined Manchester City seven years ago. Pep has turned winning the EPL title into a walk in the park, and I do not see anyone stopping him anytime soon.
So, guys, this is where I say goodbye. I look forward to seeing your feedback in the comment section. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good day.
