Its the most common & recurring question in World Football year after year: which is the "Best Football League in the World"?
According to the official authority on the matter, the FIFA backed IFFHS ( International Federation of Football History & Statistics), the English Premier League is the "Best" so far this Century ( statistics of the last 12 years ) , with LA LIGA closing the gap & being very close. However, yesterdays results in the EUROPA LEAGUE competition, with three Spanish Clubs getting themselves into the semi - finals may had already changed the IFFHS statistical assertion by pure empirical observation. This & the other crushing fact that that there are also two Spanish Football Clubs also in the semis of the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, the "tournament of all Club tournaments".
So whats the score:
- Champions League semi finalists : FC BARCELONA, REAL MADRID CF , Chelsea & Bayern Munich
- Europa League semi finalists: ATLETICO DE MADRID, VALENCIA CF, ATHLETIC CLUB BILBAO & Sporting Lisboa.
That is 5 out of the 8 teams mentioned are Spanish & from the Spanish League. If Spanish Clubs do manage to win both titles - they are favourites but nothing is certain - the long repeated question of Football questions will certainly have a definite non-refutable answer. I would even go as far as to say now, that with the above numbers ( 5 out of 8 ) that the SPANISH FOOTBALL LEAGUE is already & currently the "Best Football League in the World".
Don´t you think?
By the way I add more Spanish Football success in the last 12 years: Euro Nations Champions 2008, FIFA World Cup 2010, 2 World Club Titles - FC Barcelona (2009 & 2011), 3 Champions League - FC Barcelona (2005-06, 2008-09 & 2010-11) & 4 UEFA/Europa League titles - Sevilla FC & Atletico de Madrid (2003-04, 2005-06, 2006-07 y 2009-10)
