It's a mystery how the Spanish teams have a better winning mentality than their Italian counterparts despite being equally poor in terms of finance. Baring Barcelona and Real Madrid of course.

we wouldn’t even finish in the top 10 in the premier league and inter as Serie A winner didn't even make it through group stage.

Serie A teams have loser mentality, because the league is far from being competive despite the race for top 4. Juve for instance should be midtable with how much they sucked this season let alone top 4

2002-2010 italian teams dominated imo.

2002-2010 italian teams dominated imo.

Between 2002-2006 Serie A was the best league IMO. However 2007-2009 was the EPL. They had 3 EPL semi finalists in a row.

2007 - 2021 is EPL imo. Just because Real won doesn't mean that La Liga is/was better.

The UEFA coefficient says otherwise. La Liga was miles ahead result wise most of the past decade

Track before 2017

Barcelona won it three times in that period, Atlético made the final twice, Spanish teams also won the EL 7 times (Sevilla 5, Atlético 2) in 14 years.

People worry about EPL dominance but LaLiga has dominated for much longer and far more ruthlessly.

 

[Siamak]

but EPL is still a joke with no competition in recent times. The winner is wins by 12-15 points easily.

You skipped more than half the decade

La Liga dominated the CL between 2010-17

Real Madrid 4 CL
Barcelona 2 CL

Also there had been two Spanish finals A.Madrid vs Real Madrid happened twice.

Then there are the EL won by Seville.

EPL was actually struggling to the point that Serie A even overtook it in UEFA coefficients.

- - - Updated - - -

The EPL tends to dominate whenever there is a void and Europe is weakened. Last time it was just after the Italian 'scandal' and now it's with the decline of Real Madrid and Barcelona. They'll continue to dominate for a couple of years and then find it hard due to the over competitiveness of their league once Real, Barcelona and Juve rebuild.
Either way, hats of to the smaller La Liga teams for maintaining their competitiveness with little to spend.

 

[zizinho]

Are we gonna be seeded in the group stage next season?

Last time we played EL, we went to a CL final the following year

 

[Gep]

We’re in for a culture shock in the EL. Teams will actually fight for every ball. Even though most will be shit. Probably the kick up the ass we need.

CL is for hipsters anyway
