Premier League 2018/19

The evidence was there

As an Arsenal fan once said, the balance of power between La Liga and the Premier League, it’s turnin’, bro, it’s turnin’.

@Sidney

I think the shift in the balance of power towards the Premier League that was already in evidence last year has been amplified this year. I’d expect all four Premier League teams to advance and if the quarter-final draw allows it, which it probably won’t, all four could even advance to the semis.

What evidence last year?

People say the PL is going to make a comeback every year but its been a long time at this stage and I’d still back Juve, Real, Barca and Bayern against any of them

@Sidney

Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham played the best football of any teams in last year’s tournament.

In truth, Tottenham threw away their tie against Juventus while Salah’s injury completely changed the final, and even then Liverpool handed the game to Real Madrid.

I think all of the four continental teams you mention will find it very difficult to live with the pace of the Premier League teams. Juventus can usually nullify pacey teams but there’s always one match in the knockout stages where they get run ragged.
