Let us see top 5 Leagues in Europe right now where every football player want to plays and fans enjoy watching their superstar player playing at thier Favourite club
As of mid-August 2021, Ligue 1 has dropped OUT of the top 5 European leagues based on the UEFA coefficient. While most football fans believe that the French top flight is still worthy of this status, it has been replaced by Portugal's Primeira Liga but quickly french league occupies its position back in top 5 league
So as per new rankings of UEFA Here are the top 5 Leagues in Europe right now
5 - Ligue-1
the french top flight isnt the only one that has been dominated by a
superpower in the 2010s.
Paris saint-germain, winning seven of the last eight ligue 1 titles, have
had a slip up where others havent, but the margin of victory for the
nouveau riche in the capital is most alarming.
They had it sewn up when the league was suspended this year. They won by
16 points in 2018/19 and while it seemed closer in 2017/18, it was all but
over with months to spare.
Psgs dominance on the pitch is replicated in the transfer market. They
are one of the richest clubs in the world, and lyon (who have finished in
the top three on five occasions in the last eight seasons) are barely in
the top 20.
Lionel messi's arrival in the french capital strengthens ligue 1's case
but is his presence enough to feature towards the top of this list?
Unfortunately not in our view...
Monacos run to the semis in 2017 was the last time a ligue 1 team came
close to winning the competition, but their team was promptly picked apart
by wealthier clubs.
Ligue 1 has produced some of the worlds best talents. There are some
wonderful players up and down the league, but its comfortably fifth in
these rankings.
4 - Serie a
one of the for mentioned teams who have owned the league title even more
so than psg, juventus had won nine scudetti in a row.
They relinquished their grip on the serie a trophy last season but
massimiliano allegri is back and juve remain a force to be reckoned
with.
While italian domestic football is generally considered stronger than in
france, and juventus have been more of a threat in the champions league
than psg, the majority of the last decade presents a similar picture.
The two milan giants have been in the doldrums for much of that time.
Juventus through a combination of bargain and blockbuster signings have
constructed a squad far clear of the chasing pack.
Romans run to the champions league semis a couple of years ago was similar
to monacos, an anomaly rather than a serious run towards the trophy.
We have to go back to 2011/12 to find the last non-juve team to make the
quarters prior to romas run.
Its a long time since serie a was the top league in the world. The
nostalgia perhaps leads some to overrate it, and the promise of these
big-name clubs returning to the forefront of european football is a
lure.
For a long time now, though, it has been a one-team league at the top.
Stronger depth than ligue 1 earns it fourth here.
3 - Bundesliga
its eight in a row for bayern, just like juventus.
Borussia dortmund have finished as runners up in five of those campaigns,
following on from their two titles at the start of the 2010s.
Despite a run of four different champions in five seasons at the end of
the noughties, the rise of rb leipzig and a group of teams finishing in
the top four over the last eight years, it has been all about bayern in
recent memory even when theres seemed to be a title race.
Schalke, monchengladbach, wolfsburg, leipzig, hoffenheim and leverkusen
have all finished in the top three in the last six seasons.
Wolfsburg were champions league quarter finalists in 2015, schalke pushed
real madrid hard in the last 16 the season prior.
The monopoly argument can be thrown at the bundesliga just as it can with
ligue 1 and serie a.
The teams just behind bayern are perhaps closer, and likely stronger than
their counterparts in france and italy. It seems like a generally deeper
league.
2 - La Liga
where it has been quality all the way down the table that split the
previous three, its all about peak performance in spain.
Cristiano ronaldo and lionel messi have gone but the likes of eden
hazard, luka modric, jan oblak, luis suarez and antoine griezmann are
lighting up the spanish top flight - la liga is still home to many of the
worlds very best.
Real madrid and barcelona are always among the betting favourites for the
champions league. Atletico madrid are never far off either.
La liga has benefited from diego simeones atletico. They won a title,
they are a constant thorn in the side of the two that have a
near-permanent duopoly on the top of the spanish game.
You have to go all the way back to 2011/12 to find the last time someone
other than those three finished in the top three, and while thats not
great, la liga hasnt experienced the same continued dominance of one team
at the top.
There were two all-spanish finals in the 2010s and, led by real madrid,
spanish sides won six out of eight champions league finals.
The mid-table in spain might not be as strong as the comparable teams in
other countries (or thats the common perception), but the quality at the
top is enough to get them second here.
1 - Premier League
the 2010s wasnt a great decade for the premier league on the european
stage, with betting expert betting tips on english clubs taking a bit of a
hit over the period.
The wane of manchester united, changes at manchester city and general
turmoil at chelsea saw a much weaker effort in continental action after
english clubs were the main force in the late-noughties.
That has begun to change, however, with an all-english final in 2019
coming 12 months after liverpool became the first english team since 2012
to make the final.
Instability at the bigger clubs, the fact that there are more teams who
can seriously compete in the transfer market, has led the premier league
to produce a greater variety of title winners.
The last five seasons have delivered four different champions. Chelsea,
leicester arsenal, tottenham, manchester united and liverpool have all
been in and out of the top three.
The inconsistency and occasional turmoil that has hampered the premier
league from delivering in the champions league has also meant more change
in the european spots.
Being the most-watched league in the world means a lot more revenue. The
money in football is, as we all know, astronomical.
The way that revenue is shared in the premier league gives greater
financial muscle to the mid-table and below teams, who can compete for
signings that their supposed peers in france or italy could not.
The talent on the non-european competing teams in the premier league has
increased significantly in the last few years. That, as much as the
resurgence in continental competition, puts the premier league top of the
pile.
