So Germany is then as they have two sides left in? Is the French league superior to us too?
I'd say it's just how football goes at times and English teams have been doing very well in Europe the last 5 years or so.

Of course it is.
There are 3 teams fighting to win the league.
Bundesliga is decided
PSG 10 points clear in Ligue 1
Inter well clear in Serie A
Real Madrid 8 clear of Barça in La Liga
Premier League is by far the most entertaining.

Only listened to bits of commentary, a different bounce of the ball could have seen city through, neither they nor arsenal have been battered.
Suggests we might not you mean.
There is a lot of nuance and ambiguity. Nothings been put to bed last night due to a penalty shoot out between City and Madrid.
Could Forest beat Celta Vigo? We don’t know. But strength of league cannot just be defined by the very elite sides.
But Forest are one of ten European cup winners from England. That’s more than any other country.

He we go just because the English sides haven't done as well for once.
Yes and no. Having seen both games city undoubtedly look a better team than Madrid but Madrid have enough quality they can beat anyone. Play that game 100 times and City win far more than they lose.

City were dominant tbh, Madrid sat back and absorbed for almost the whole game but they did that fantastically. Hard to say who the better team was as Madrid executeed their defensive gameplan very effectively, and City were class but just couldn't get in the net
Always one that brings this up every time the English teams get knocked out. Notice how it says the best "league". The league referring to the 20 teams not individual teams and yes, it is the best league due to the physical demand, the competitiveness of the teams as a whole and not to mention Man City are still European and world champions. I would argue the Spanish league is close based on the likes of Sevilla and Celta Vigo languishing close to the drop and both teams would do reasonably well in the Prem.

It really is shit, the Premier League. The whole “best league in the world” spiel is Sky nonsense to make everything either “the best thing ever” or “the worst thing that’s ever happened”. It’s all dramatised nonsense when it reality it is pretty crap to watch.

The premier league is dull as ditchwater. I genuinely mean this, the championship, even if not as high quality, is far more entertaining and enjoyable.

Who cares if it is or it isn’t?
And by what criteria are you deciding?
It’s probably more fun than the other big ones, seems to have more goals.
But for me I watch a game in itself not thinking about all the possible contexts of which league is better or which seasons cup competition is better etc seems a bit odd way to look at things

I rarely do. Thanks for that insightful nonsense, is your name Gary Neville?

City and their atmosphere-negative crowd are a slog to watch.
