The easy answer is the money but you have to ask why does the EPL have so much money and attract a worldwide audience. Two reasons, first the style of play might not be seen by soccer purists to be as pleasing as La Liga, but it draws a worldwide audience. Second, that same style and intensity doesn’t let teams not used to dealing with it play. We’ll see what happens if and when Barcelona gets by Bayern – will they be able to cope with Liverpool or Chelsea? Wouldn’t shock me at all if the dream matchup of Manchester United and Barcelona ended up as an all-England final again this year.

England now has the most money and is going to attract the top players… The italian league has suffered the most, they have fallen way back to an extent where they ant even considered serious contenders for the champion league.

As for spain, barcelona are still a serious team a favourites for champion leahue i think, but real madrid are very poor. Players like Heinze and diarra wouldnt have been good enough to lase the boots of former players like zidane, figo and ronaldo. As for the likes of canavaro, guti and Raul they are simply shoving on.
