We all love watching UK football teams fight it out between each other. That said, let’s admit that it feels even better when they go on the international scene and win titles. But how does the Premier League fare, today, in comparison to other European ones? Let’s take a look at the differences with German, Spanish and French football.

Still Number One

The Premier League is still the number one football league, not only in Europe, but in the whole world. Most of the others that follow are Europeans and include the likes of La Liga (Spain), Serie A (Italy), The Bundesliga (Germany) and Ligue 1 (France). But that’s in terms of numbers and value. There are other differences of style and play between these leagues, which we will now be looking into, starting with Germany.

THE BUNDESLIGA (GERMANY)

We said in the prior paragraph that the Premier League is number one in numbers, but that is generally speaking. In truth, it is the Bundesliga that holds the title for most attendance to matches. That explains itself partly by the fact that most of the stadiums are world class. The two most visited ones are Bayern’s Allianz Arena and Borussia Dortmund’s Signal Iduna Park. Any time you visit one of these locations, you will be thrown into a wild and eccentric atmosphere, rarely seen elsewhere. The one element that probably stands-out the most about this league, is their capacity to take on young players and create superstars out of them. You only have to look at Germany’s national team to understand the power that they have, in that regards. Next time you catch one of their game, place a wager with one of the Bundesliga bookies, to make it even more exciting.

LA LIGA (SPAIN)

Anyone who knows just a little about football, understands exactly what superpower Real Madrid and Barcelona are, in this world. The two of them have won so many titles on national and international scenes, that they are feared in advance, when they come to play in your town. What really differentiates La Liga from the Premier League, though, is the style of play of the Spaniards. They are known for their great technique, using short passes in rapid sequences, rather than going down the field at full speed. When you think of the Spanish League, you are viewing all the great players that came out of there, which includes: Messi, Iniesta, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zidane and Neymar, to name but a very few from a long list of names. They are the force behind La Liga and the main difference with other leagues.

LA LIGUE 1 (FRANCE)

Although it is true that the Ligue 1 is part of the best in the world, everyone also agrees that there is a problem with the competitiveness that can be found in it. PSG (Paris-Saint-Germain) is often all alone at the top of standing (not the case this year), and too many teams are lagging at the bottom. They know how to build-up great players, but those often head out to other leagues, later on.
