The EPL Is Overrated And Here Is Why: Manchester City and Arsenal were knocked out of the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday, while Liverpool and West Ham United were dumped out of the Europa League quater-finals on Thursday. The only team remaining in Europe from the Premier League is Aston Villa who are into the UEFA Conference League semi-finals. Manchester United and Newcastle United both finished bottom of their table in the Champions League group stages. Premier League is not the best League in the world, but is the most popular League in the world, because they have the money and the media. In England, one team keep winning the Premier League and that’s Manchester City because they are way better than everybody else, and what will Man City response be this summer? They will probably buy one or two best players in the world and get even stronger and keep winning the EPL. I don’t see how this helps the Premier League. In LaLiga for instance, Atletico Madrid won the League in 2021, Real Madrid won it in 2022 and Barcelona in 2023, that’s a healthy competition. Same in Italy, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Napoli all wins the Serie A respectively. From a technical point of view, the quality in the Premier League is not there. They play physical football. In Spain, France, Italy, the technique is better. That's why the English teams always find it difficult in European Competitions. The lack of technique in the EPL is also the reason why most of the South American players prefer LaLiga or Italian League. - Isa Bature
