The premiership is very strong now. In this round so far three teams from the prem have played, they have scored nine goals and conceded none and the three opposition teams - champions of Italy, France and Portugal - have managed a total of two shots on target between them in those three games. Now I'm sure that that record will not look so good after United play tomorrow and I'm not saying it's a certainty that a team from England will win the trophy, but it's clear that the league is way way stronger than any of the others. With the Spanish teams overstretching and their subsequent collapse (something that is hilarious in itself but disastrous for the competitiveness of the CL) it looks to me as though there are teams from the Prem that could conceivably win it than the rest of Europe can muster between them.
Question is how long this will last. PSG have the means to challenge them but making prestige signings such as the Messi one instead of smarter ones to get the players they need is holding them back. Bayern will be there or thereabouts of course but unless Real can bounce back - a distinct possibility of course and they are convinced they'll get Mbappe on a free at the end of this season - it looks as though we could be in for a period of premiership dominance.
I reckon Barca are properly fucked. My prediction is that for the next few years three out of four champions will be from England with Bayern getting the 4th in years when the English teams knock each other out and then slip up. I'm not really sure how I feel about that but it will piss a lot of people off.
