With English clubs failing to make an impact in the last Champions League, there have been those that claim that the Premier League is now only second to Spain’s La Liga.. Liverpool striker Fernando Torres, who used to play for Atletico Madrid, disagrees however, pointing to the organisation and fan support as major advantages of England’s league.

As a competition, the Premier League is the best,” the Spanish international said on the club’s official website. "In Spain they have some of the better players in the world but, as a competition, it is not as big as the Premier League. I’ve played in Spain and can tell you honestly, the Premier League is much better."

Cristiano Ronaldo and Xabi Alonso were among those that transferred from the Premier League to La Liga last season, fuelling talks that Spain has become more attractive for the world’s best players.
