A big problem with this whole discussion is......they just don't watch any foreign football! Their knowledge of it is surface level at best, so how would they know how good or bad the other leagues are? When they talk about La Liga they only think about Madrid and Barcelona. They completely ignore the likes of Girona, Athleico Madrid, Bilbao, Sociedad and Betis. Can they even name a single Girona player? I doubt it. Girona are 3rd in the table! They could still finish 2nd. They're not even on these guys radar! When they talk about German football, they only know Bayern and Dortmund, and they only really know about Leverkusen because of the incredible season they've had. But what about Stuttgart in 3rd? Leipzig in 4th? What about Eintracht Frankfurt who have had a fantastic season of their own and sit in 6th? Do they know about 3rd division Saarbruken making it all the way to the semi final of the DFB Pokal, beating the likes of Bayern, Frankfurt and Monchengladbach along the way? Probably not. They don't watch it! English football is over-rated in that English _fans_ live in a bubble of their own making. And I say this AS an Englishman. But I actually watch a lot of foreign football and it's a _lot better_ than most English fans give it credit for! There's always this 'surprise' when an English team loses to a 'less famous' foreign team like Brighton losing to Marseille or Liverpool losing to Atalanta, but it's like, yeah......these foreign teams are ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD! You would know that if you actually watched any of them!
Agree with a lot of your content here, but disagree with the Liverpool Atlanta part. Atalanta did brilliantly and Gasperini is a great coach, but it was still a major shock. Liverpool are the third most successful(joint) club in Europe for European cups won and have been regularly competing for the title over the last 6-7 years, winning many trophies in that time too. They also still sit only three points off top spot in the PL, whilst Atalanta are thirty two points away from Inter. Again, I am not saying that this means Liverpool deserved to beat Atalanta, they obviously didn't and got completely outplayed over two legs. But it was still a major surprise and would be unlikely to happen again if the tie was replayed.
@@Epsilon04 Oh don't get me wrong, the Liverpool - Atalanta result was still a huge shock, but I definitely think the size of the scoreline in that first leg that was the biggest shock. If Atalanta had won 1-0 it would have been a big surprise, but the fact that they came away from Anfield as 3-0 winners stunned everyone. I think more apt one would be Brighton vs Roma. Most people seemed to think Brighton had that one won before kick off, so for us to get absolutely battered 4-0 was quite a kick in the gut. It certainly shows that there is a lot more quality in the Italian league than a lot of English fans and pundits realize. Same could be said for the French league too, with Lens beating Arsenal, Brighton losing to Marseille, Villa scraping past Lille. It's not quite the "farmers league" that most people label it as.
@@timdurgan What, you mean like Leicester winning the Premier League after nearly getting relegated the season before, or Villa likely finishing in the top 4 this season, only 5 years after being in the Championship? I don't think it points at a weak league, if anything I think it shows more the fact that Girona have assembled a very good team to be able to go toe-to-toe with Barca and both Madrid teams all season. Don't forget though, that Girona are partially owned by the City Group, who own Man City, so they're not exactly skint, and this isn't exactly a fluke. They HAVE invested in order to get this good.
I agree with some here, I think it can be overrated by English fans and still be underrated by foreigners. Its undoubtedly the biggest, highest quality, most exciting league on the planet. But it certainly has flaws. Yes we're always surprised when an English team loses to a foreign side outside of like..5 (Madrid, Bayern etc) but there is fairly good reason for it. Realistically, Liverpool shouldnt be losing to Atalanta! Since 2017 PL teams have had the most UCL finalists and winners with even dodgy sides like West Ham getting a damn European trophy. Top to bottom theres quality teams with quality managers, the style and level of football is so, so good. The only gripes i have with the league is the overrating of English players, which has happened since the dawn of time, and Citys dominance which they cheated to do. Im definitely biased but foreign football fans, ESPECIALLY LA LIGA, seem to disagree with everything here. But im biased so let me know what you think - sorry for the wall of text.
He’s like a lottery winner at a business meeting trying to make out he’s self made from the streets, Rory tries the same stunt as well. It must hurt knowing the amount of money your club spent and yet you still needed to cheat on top of it to get the level and they are baffled when others call their club soulless
I was thinking that he constantly brings up spend like have some shame, only time he mentions City's spending is the one transfer window they made profit selling Sterling and Jesus despite the fact Pep's net spend is £500m on top what was already a good team.
City have achieved only after years and years of spending huge money. It took years of absurd spending before they even won the premier league, then the same again for the champions league
Italy is probably the most exciting league at the minute. 4 different winners in 4 years, lots of exciting coaches and players. And theyre doing well in Europe
They didn't have any teams reach the QF's of the CL though. Also, whilst they've had 4 different winners in the last 4 years, all but one(AC Milan) ran away with it. I like Serie A but it does have its flaws like any other league, including the PL.

The problem isn't overrating teams, the problem is thinking them doing good in their own competition, automatically means they'll do good in the UCL and UEL. Spanish and German teams always go under the radar despite their records in these competitions. No Real Madrid or Bayern fan complains if Arsenal fans want to say they're the best in the PL. It becomes annoying once yhese English pundits start to insult the giants of Europe outside of the PL
@@Deathmare235 It's not really, giving it a name might be overdoing it but thinking if a player can adapt to the league has been a thing since forever all over the world, other leagues play in a completely different way than the PL so you might not look the same after the move
@@IscoMadrid-fd7fy Isn't that what they want though? Media loves to hype up their own products or just talk any type of thing that can get them the attention of the people, even you from Spain have seen them pundits, and you probably woulnd't have done that if it wasn't for the egregious comments
Buvey talking about Arsenal failings not taking in the fact it was there first stint back in the UCL in years. Man City got embarrassed in UCL for years before winning it.
Barcelona ARE trash. They are improving slightly, but they over-rely on the talent of their players. As a TEAM, they are not very good. And yes, PSG is better.
The fact that this video turned into an analysis on Arsenal's failures in Europe is actually pathetic when United got knocked out in the group stages, Chelsea are nowhere near European football, Liverpool got knocked out by Atalanta and treble-winning Man City fucking up on penalties. Do us a favour and stop deflecting.
As an outsider I honestly think the worst thing about the prem is its media (including RUclips). 2 main reasons: - the fact that most of them don't watch other leagues (which is normal), but then start talking like they know what they're talking about. Case and point buvey talking about Barcelona when he only watched one single game (if that). - the fact that they literally worship pep and his play style like it's jesus coaching them. So when Madrid for example (who aren't even in their prime yet) defend perfectly and gets the win they start talking about that team like it's not the greatest team in the world. Suddenly some nobody starts comparing them to Southgate. But the football isn't overrated in the slightest.
I need Buvey to explain how Arsenal “bottled it” against Bayern despite being the underdogs but City (As the competition favourites and champions) losing to Real is perfectly acceptable? I think someone is wounded
Arsenal were heavy favorites what are you talking about? Bayern are having their worst season in a decade, Arsenal were strongly touted to finally get their revenge against them lol
I’d just like to add on this, I completely agree with all this but I’d just say that buvey is of sane mind and that Arsenal can’t compete with bayern ( you’ve just got Kaned/ latte lathed/ Addo Jonno’d ).
Yes it is, english pundits look at EPL like whoever is in it is a God or something, City is an outlier but the rest of them are simply not on that level, Liverpool has been considered as the 2nd best EPL team lately and yet Real Madrid has them in the pockets....it a farmers league, City is farming it, its competitive but not for the 1st place but for 2nd,3rd and 4th. What makes EPL succesfull lately? Money and the fact that governement body ignores the breaches in spending, nobody can explain how City or Chelsea or United havent been fined or punished yet
Err the fact that United haven’t cheated maybe they’ve spent lots but over a long time not like city and Chelsea Liverpool also spent 928 million arsenal have nearly spent a billion get a grip
Two seasons ago, Prem teams won zero of the European cup competitions. This season it will be the same unless Aston Villa win the Conference. So if the Prem only when 2 out of 9 European cup competitions in a 3 year spell, don't you dare try and tell me your league is 'clearly superior' to others
EPL is crap without foreign managers to teach them how to play. When Pep leaves, it's gonna lame as ever. The best players don't want to play there. Facts.
Arsenal getting knocked out of the quarterfinals by Bayern is a worse reflection of the PL than united getting knocked out by Coppenhagan and Galatasary. They're just rage baiting.. gooners DO NOT ENGAGE
@@JasonWilliams89 What are you talking about? They finish every season 20 points clear? Stop talking BS. Clearly you've never watched the Bundesliga at all.
The PL isn’t overrated. It’s the most exciting. However it is also the most arrogant. The disrespect shown to other leagues is ridiculous. Imagine thinking that Man City would just breeze past Real Madrid. Who are still the best team in world football purely on the basis the impression is our league is superior.
Buvey made a video of world class players a few weeks ago and didn't put Griezmann, Wirtz or any Serie A player, that for me say that they are not qualified to speak about this subject
The prem is still probably the best league, but it is not by as far of a margin as most English fans would have you believe. Some English fans act like they have a divine right to beat teams from other countries simply because they’ve spent more and are from the prem.
The real true English football fans know we aren’t very good in Europe and our league is fixed to be entertaining but how many derbys and big games end up draws and boring yet I can’t remember a boring el Classico and the Italian equivalent
Yes Man City has set a standard of play that is literally the most boring thing on earth to watch Then when Europe comes round Spanish and Italian teams play with so much more freedom And make all our teams just look flat even when we win
This point that English teams struggle in Europe because they have tough games every week is the most exaggerated argument in the history of arguments. There are numerous good teams in La Liga/Bundesliga/Serie A etc and some poor teams in the EPL.
I don’t think the league is overrated. I think it’s great and this is one of the most entertaining seasons I’ve seen since I started watching. I think it’s English fans who don’t give enough respect to the Serie a, La Liga and Bundesliga
It is overrated . When Spanish teams were dominating Europe . They still use to say premiere league is the best . Overrating means saying we are best all the time every year .. even if u r not
The prem is not overated. Brighton is getting into Europe. Villa on their way to a champions league finish. Newcastle will go up with their money. Small teams are on the up and creating legacies against the teams they couldn't go any way near 20 -15 years ago.
They been saying EPL is the best league, even when Leicester city won.. ask yourself if Leicester could win a league with Barca and Real Madrid back then?! Remember when Athletic Bilbao beat Manchester united with only players from basque? Just imagine if it was the opposite.. Epl fans are the most delusional
The notion of “any team can defeat any team” also holds true for other leagues as much as it does for the premier league. You do see a Barcelona, Madrid, Bayern, being beaten by other “struggling” teams or those teams giving them a hard game from time to time. People will being up relegation threatened Everton convincingly beating Liverpool, but won’t consider that it took them 14 years to get a derby win at Goodison park.
It's not overrated just the top 6 English clubs this season been bad especially United and Chelsea and the rest are either with young squad or new gaffer or also different reasons. The main thing is that there's no much senior footballers here in the EPL comparing to other leagues.
It’s not that the premier league is overrated, it’s that pretentious English fans always say the bundesliga and ligue 1 are like farmers leagues and shit, which is just not true at all. There are lots of quality sides in both leagues, who beat English clubs in Europe regularly.
The only English team worthy of respect is Liverpool/ not only do they have the history but they have made the UCL more exciting over the past 10 years ! We all Know La Liga dominates Europe
Buvey... Arsenal lost, but so did City. And Arsenal lost away in the second leg of the first UCL quarter in 2 decades while City lost at home in the second leg of the UCL that they won last year... Who's really the bigger disappointment?
You can always expect 2 delusional takes from English pundits. 1. Premier League is the most competitive with the most amount of best teams, that's why they'll do good in Europe. 2. The Premier League is a direct cause for a better English national team (when Man City and Liverpool have a majority of non-English superstars).
To be fair, (Bayern, Real, PSG, Dortmund) etc don't have schedules like PL clubs. Also I don't think a club beyond or before 15/16th placed can genuinely give a top 2/3 club that many problems in most leagues but PL is without a doubt a different ballgame entirely. Every game is different and hard fought for ex. (Real vs {Osasuna}) will more or less end up one way. SL makes sense tbh, if jeopardy was added and new clubs can keep entering it, CL needs to step up with competition format.
The top end of European football is relatively even. The top prem, German, Spanish, Italian teams plus PSG are all able to spend cash and compete. The place where the massive prem cash is really felt is 8 and below. The bottom 10-12 clubs are head and shoulders above the bottom of every other league because of the quality of player they can bring in.
I'm a Barca fan and we'd struggle to finish top 4 in the PL in our current state. We're in a dark phase just like United. However, Madrid would definitely be in the race along with Munich, if we forego the anomalous season in Germany.
As a German I'd say the Premier League is the best league in the world and is still massively overrated. The two aren't mutually exclusive. The way English pundits and Prem fans are talking about other leagues PL teams should win every game in Europe 7:0 to be honest. It was only a few weeks ago when some English guys on a football channel said Brighton would win Serie A. That's just one example of so many...
If anything its underrated. So many top teams and managers even at midtable. The top 2-3 teams are unreal, usually high quality title fights, Most UCL finalists and winners since 2017. I mean how does Klopps Liverpool only win 1 league ffs? The only thing you can talk about is Citys dominance and they cheated!
How can you three have this argument when all you watch is the premier league, your ball knowledge outside of the prem is very low Also, any chance these three have to slander arsenal they take, embarrassing
These lot always relate everything back to Liverpool or Arsenal and sometimes spurs. They also slagged off Newcastle for not getting through one of the toughest groups in champions league history and were actually unlucky to not go through. They don’t know ball
I think so. Spain and Italy, maybe even Germany is where historically the best football is played. I think you take the best team ever to play in each of those countries, they beat the best premier league team ever. That being said, late 70s early 80s, English clubs win the European Cup 7 out of 8 years which is pretty cool
@@marcus8030 come on man, bundesliga is so bad. They play with 0 defensive intensity. It is so open from one side to another. And they dont even have good finishers to make the openness look cool. It just looks amateur. I do like watching some laliga teams like sociedad or atleti but other than that the bottom half of the table is actually boring. Even the top half, it is not that fun to watch madrid when they are not in a knockout matches because they do not have structure and their players just do so many stupid shit that they wont do in knockout competitions. The italian league has been fun only just last year for me because of napoli and thats it.
15 different Bundesliga teams made it to the CL group stage. 13 from La Liga, only 10 Premier League clubs. Yes it's overrated. If the league outside the top 4 was that great there would be more variety.
its where the money is but at the same time it attracted the money by being a competitive league so has the best tv deals all round the world that is split fairly between the clubs where in spain and germany the top clubs take the majority. rich people who want to buy a club will buy west ham before villareal because they see they have more chance of upsetting the top teams, where no matter what it will always be barca, madrid in spain because there supported by the governments and there has to be release clause in the players contract in spain
It’s overrated in one aspect, but no not really. It’s the top league. So it’s kind of hard for it to be overrated. The one argument against that is coming from my Italian perspective. When Serie A was the top league, it wasn’t viewed as so massively superior by its own fans and the football media. Whereas English football’s fans and the football media in general make it seem like it’s the only league currently worth watching. For me EPL, Bundesliga, La Liga, and Serie A are all very good and definitely worth viewing. And I’ve felt that way since the late 90s.
Both things can be true at the same time. I do believe the premier league is the best league in the world but it's definitely overrated just by the fact premier league fans believe the premier league is light years above the others leagues and that's just not the case.
I don’t think the premier is overrated what fans/teams are at times are is arrogant. But there is always some other club in Europe ready to humble them.
there’s a few top teams in most leagues that can match up with our top teams but if u put our bottom 10 teams against the bottom 10 in other countries there’d be a clear winner, in england bottom can beat the top and that’s been proven year in year out whereas u never see bayern, psg or madrid losing to a bottom 5 team in their league
Inzaghi winning the League with Inter and Motta taking Bologna to the UCL, Serie A is just different they just need some Cash to attract Top Players cause they are the only other League with a Top 6...Juve, Inter, Ac Milan, Napoli, Lazio, Atalanta and Roma.. actually Top 7. And Africa is one of the biggest Football Markets do you know which Club has more fans after Man UTD, Arsenal. Am a United fan but i think Arsenal are the second biggest English Club in terms of Global reach Liverpool barely has fans in Africa, Chelsea has a strong following but i think Arsenal just has a little bit more.
The EPL, aka the mercenary league is overrated. It might be the richest league. But then you have to come the conclusion that you lack the trophies and silverware with all that money spent. So there is no way you can say it's the best. Facts over Feelings!
its overrated. but our biggest problem is this season. the points deductions. city not being charged yet. the pgmol. I live in Germany and most people just laugh at the PL this season. from the outside everybody can see the corruption as they cant control the media in other countries.
No, it’s pound for pound the best league in Europe (therefore the world). Now is the gap in money greater than gan in quality when comparing it to other leagues? Yes. But this was also the case for Serie A back in the 80’s and 90’s. It had the most money, but that gap in money was greater than the gap in quality. I think it’s actually an inevitability tbh.
This is one of those things. Where there is no possible way to answer this question without there being 100 hours in the day. No one can watch enough English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch etc football to make an argument about which is the best league, and therefore from that, if the prem is overrated. I really enjoy the German Bundesliga, have done since covid, where Germany started football before the UK. Is it overrated, because Bayern pretty much always win? I don't know... I tend to side with the thought that, it's a fun league to watch, but a bad league to follow. And on the Prem. I watch maybe 4-5 games a week. Which i'm sure are rookie numbers. I think it's good.. But THE MOST SUPERLATIVE LEAGUE!? That's a silly question, and so is judging over overrratedness.
It's definitely overrated. It's artificially propped up by foreign money and owners, and It's the only league where they don't have managers from the home country winning the league.
Players of superb individual quality often times decide how the champions league ends. That's why Madrid win so much. It can be a serious advantage over teams like Liverpool and City.
Yes, it is overrated AF. It's a farmers league, Man City is farming the league trophies. Just because it's difficult to get places 2-5 doesn't mean that the league isn't easy for spot number 1. Man City are already favourites for the next season, and this one isn't even done. Think about that.
It’s basically that all the other leagues, it’s the same teams always qualifying so they have more experience and all other leagues are weaker and can play weakened teams a lot of the time.
6 of the last 7 leagues won by City. Man City won 5 in 6 EFL cups. And the 3 promoted teams usually always go down. Usually the same teams in the top 3/4 at the minute.
The recent domestic success of City is unprecedented in England and a result of the best manager in the world with unlimited resources. Even with that, Liverpool have challenged them with point totals that would have won the league in any other year multiple times and now Arsenal has rebuilt. The 3 promoted teams definitely don’t always go down; Just off the top of my head recently Leicester, Wolves, Sheffield, Fulham, Brentford, Leeds, have all come up and done well and some stayed up. There is very strong competition throughout the league, top 6 always has 10 solid teams competing and there’s always a good relegation battle. Top 4 has the most competition of any league, nothing is guaranteed.
Then explain Wolves, Brighton, Leicester, Brentford, Bournemouth, Aston Villa, Fulham and Forest who all go promoted in the last 10 years and didn't get relegated. Even Huddersfield survived a season.
@@alexfielding7191 this season bro.. Man City streaks through again, Liverpool & Arsenal close but no cigar (again), all 3 promoted teams going straight back down.. 2 Prem teams getting deducted a combined 12 points & still don't go down. Yet we hype it up to the best league in the world, yet compared to other leagues. Italian & German league has been better this season. And we don't have a single English team in the semi final or either Champions League or Europa despite being MASSIVELY the wealthiest league in the world, with the biggest pool of "better" players
@@philsblogs8527 You didn't say this season, you said the three newly promoted teams usually always go down which is wrong. Newly promoted teams staying up or relegated has stayed around the same since the Prems inception and it's normally it breaks even, it's always the same or may even be better rate than the other top leagues. Also you're forgetting the last 4 seasons when English clubs made 50% of the semi final teams in the CL and at least 1 made it to the Europa semis. You need to improve that goldfish memory.
It is overrated. Man City win it every year. Only LFC have stopped them in recent history. We call the German league the farmers league for the exact same reason.
I believe there is just more footballing talented players available than the Premier League can buy. So even though PL clubs might get most of the great players and coaches, there is still plenty left over for other clubs to build great teams. English media just focus more on their own league, so the other teams kind of fly under the radar.

It becomes annoying once yhese English pundits start to insult the giants of Europe outside of the PL
@@Deathmare235 It's not really, giving it a name might be overdoing it but thinking if a player can adapt to the league has been a thing since forever all over the world, other leagues play in a completely different way than the PL so you might not look the same after the move
@@IscoMadrid-fd7fy Isn't that what they want though? Media loves to hype up their own products or just talk any type of thing that can get them the attention of the people, even you from Spain have seen them pundits, and you probably woulnd't have done that if it wasn't for the egregious comments
Buvey talking about Arsenal failings not taking in the fact it was there first stint back in the UCL in years. Man City got embarrassed in UCL for years before winning it.
Buvey claiming Barcelona are trash because they lost to PSG with 10 men and loads of injuries…
Barcelona ARE trash. They are improving slightly, but they over-rely on the talent of their players. As a TEAM, they are not very good. And yes, PSG is better.
Well, you weren’t exactly watching for logical takes from Buvey were you?😂😂😂

Yes he should have just called them cheats
@@mrsomeone846 hes right though, theyre a shell of what they used to be
The fact that this video turned into an analysis on Arsenal's failures in Europe is actually pathetic when United got knocked out in the group stages, Chelsea are nowhere near European football, Liverpool got knocked out by Atalanta and treble-winning Man City fucking up on penalties. Do us a favour and stop deflecting.

As an outsider I honestly think the worst thing about the prem is its media (including RUclips).
2 main reasons:
- the fact that most of them don't watch other leagues (which is normal), but then start talking like they know what they're talking about. Case and point buvey talking about Barcelona when he only watched one single game (if that).
- the fact that they literally worship pep and his play style like it's jesus coaching them. So when Madrid for example (who aren't even in their prime yet) defend perfectly and gets the win they start talking about that team like it's not the greatest team in the world. Suddenly some nobody starts comparing them to Southgate.
But the football isn't overrated in the slightest.
The first reason is spot on. They only watch while Champions league and they get beaten and still brag on PL is greatest 🙏🏼
spot on
@@user-vf5gp2lv3m this one bugs me to be end. I mean we all have our favorite teams but this blatant ignorance is just another level 😂

I need Buvey to explain how Arsenal “bottled it” against Bayern despite being the underdogs but City (As the competition favourites and champions) losing to Real is perfectly acceptable?
I think someone is wounded
Bayern actually turned up against Arsenal as well Madrid rolled over and were there for the taking

Buvey is off his nut bro, Arsenal couldn’t compete with Bayern?? We lost by one goal, as you did your team to Real Madrid you melt
I’d just like to add on this, I completely agree with all this but I’d just say that buvey is of sane mind and that Arsenal can’t compete with bayern ( you’ve just got Kaned/ latte lathed/ Addo Jonno’d ).
Yeah but City were good and Arsenal were poor. Also City drew and went out to pens, which is just luck. Arsenal actually lost.
Either say arsenal are a small club or say they should be winning the champions league. You can’t have it both ways.
This is the best comment I’ve seen!!!
Yes it is, english pundits look at EPL like whoever is in it is a God or something, City is an outlier but the rest of them are simply not on that level, Liverpool has been considered as the 2nd best EPL team lately and yet Real Madrid has them in the pockets....it a farmers league, City is farming it, its competitive but not for the 1st place but for 2nd,3rd and 4th. What makes EPL succesfull lately? Money and the fact that governement body ignores the breaches in spending, nobody can explain how City or Chelsea or United havent been fined or punished yet
Err the fact that United haven’t cheated maybe they’ve spent lots but over a long time not like city and Chelsea Liverpool also spent 928 million arsenal have nearly spent a billion get a grip
Two seasons ago, Prem teams won zero of the European cup competitions. This season it will be the same unless Aston Villa win the Conference. So if the Prem only when 2 out of 9 European cup competitions in a 3 year spell, don't you dare try and tell me your league is 'clearly superior' to others
I love how it went from... is the EPL overrated? ...to... you know this is all arsenals fault... to... is arsenal a big club debate
Obsessed with Arsenal a team that’s never won the CL 🤣🤣
Neither Chelsea nor Man city are big clubs in world football.
EPL is crap without foreign managers to teach them how to play. When Pep leaves, it's gonna lame as ever. The best players don't want to play there. Facts.
Rory: **Telling a story**
Buvey: **interrupts him to finish the story**
Considering how much money the team in the PL spends, they are overrated.
They should be light years ahead of everyone else, but they aren’t.
Arsenal getting knocked out of the quarterfinals by Bayern is a worse reflection of the PL than united getting knocked out by Coppenhagan and Galatasary. They're just rage baiting.. gooners DO NOT ENGAGE
"gooners DO NOT ENGAGE" 🤣
Arsenal feed these trolls mate the obsession is real
At least United scored 3 there against a fully fit Bayern team you couldn’t even score 1 against a weakened Bayern team
The problem is how dominated it is by City, yet England refuses to call it a farmers league. But they’ll call Spanish and Bundesliga a farmers league
City usually win by like one point. Bayern finish every season 20 points clear.

The PL isn’t overrated. It’s the most exciting. However it is also the most arrogant. The disrespect shown to other leagues is ridiculous. Imagine thinking that Man City would just breeze past Real Madrid. Who are still the best team in world football purely on the basis the impression is our league is superior.
It's overrated.. That's why they're scared of Super league..scared to see all leagues on similar financial level
That’s the perfect word, it’s not overrated but it’s definitely the most arrogant
Buvey made a video of world class players a few weeks ago and didn't put Griezmann, Wirtz or any Serie A player, that for me say that they are not qualified to speak about this subject
The prem is still probably the best league, but it is not by as far of a margin as most English fans would have you believe. Some English fans act like they have a divine right to beat teams from other countries simply because they’ve spent more and are from the prem.
The real true English football fans know we aren’t very good in Europe and our league is fixed to be entertaining but how many derbys and big games end up draws and boring yet I can’t remember a boring el Classico and the Italian equivalent
Nah the Bundesliga is way better than the prem this season by far. But I agree with all your points made about English fans.
Yes Man City has set a standard of play that is literally the most boring thing on earth to watch
Then when Europe comes round
Spanish and Italian teams play with so much more freedom
And make all our teams just look flat even when we win
That's LALIGA style of football stolen by prem 😂

@hypeandthings you need psychiatric attention
Have these conversations with guest from other countries. The english bias was crazy
Premier league is good but the best run league is 🇩🇪 the Bundesliga
This point that English teams struggle in Europe because they have tough games every week is the most exaggerated argument in the history of arguments. There are numerous good teams in La Liga/Bundesliga/Serie A etc and some poor teams in the EPL.
Rory talking about tottenham desperate for top 4, chelseas would be desperate for a top half finish 🤣🤣
I don’t think the league is overrated. I think it’s great and this is one of the most entertaining seasons I’ve seen since I started watching. I think it’s English fans who don’t give enough respect to the Serie a, La Liga and Bundesliga
But still ends the same way
100% when you get beat in Europe with 10x more budget says everything
Use to think Adam was a prick.take it all back and apologise. He’s the only 1 that talks sense
It is overrated . When Spanish teams were dominating Europe . They still use to say premiere league is the best . Overrating means saying we are best all the time every year .. even if u r not
There is no such thing as English football, there is s Priemer League. Huge difference.
The prem is not overated. Brighton is getting into Europe. Villa on their way to a champions league finish. Newcastle will go up with their money. Small teams are on the up and creating legacies against the teams they couldn't go any way near 20 -15 years ago.
For a season Newcastle out of the top 4 again Brighton aren’t geting Europe again either villa won’t get top 4 next season again either
They been saying EPL is the best league, even when Leicester city won.. ask yourself if Leicester could win a league with Barca and Real Madrid back then?!
Remember when Athletic Bilbao beat Manchester united with only players from basque? Just imagine if it was the opposite..
Epl fans are the most delusional
The notion of “any team can defeat any team” also holds true for other leagues as much as it does for the premier league.
You do see a Barcelona, Madrid, Bayern, being beaten by other “struggling” teams or those teams giving them a hard game from time to time.
People will being up relegation threatened Everton convincingly beating Liverpool, but won’t consider that it took them 14 years to get a derby win at Goodison park.
Totally overrated, and the Euro,s will prove it! They will be lucky to get out of the group 😢
I don’t really see how people interpret “best league in the world” as the best teams in the world play in our league.
Usually it is since by having the best teams you have the most world class games
@@Deathmare235 "World class games"
It's usually two teams parking the bus while trying to "assert dominance" on the ball through sheer force of will
@@beastunleashed657 how can 2 teams park the bus 🤣
@@Cbfbxvzg just PL things
We do have the best teams though
So....Arsenal are a big club only in London but at the same time they bottled it against Bayern Munich who are a seasoned UCL giant. Which is it??
It's not overrated just the top 6 English clubs this season been bad especially United and Chelsea and the rest are either with young squad or new gaffer or also different reasons. The main thing is that there's no much senior footballers here in the EPL comparing to other leagues.
Olympiacos, A Greek team that barely any Englishman has ever heard of, beat Aston Villa 6-2 in the Conference League semi final.
When Rory tries to sound introspective, wise and stuff...he just sounds dumb tbh
It’s not that the premier league is overrated, it’s that pretentious English fans always say the bundesliga and ligue 1 are like farmers leagues and shit, which is just not true at all. There are lots of quality sides in both leagues, who beat English clubs in Europe regularly.
No…
2/3 European trophies went to English clubs last season, and 3/5 Champions League winners are English teams.
2 of them are Plastic clubs 😂
The only English team worthy of respect is Liverpool/ not only do they have the history but they have made the UCL more exciting over the past 10 years ! We all Know La Liga dominates Europe
The question is bigger versus more successful. The debate will always rage on due to context
Buvey... Arsenal lost, but so did City. And Arsenal lost away in the second leg of the first UCL quarter in 2 decades while City lost at home in the second leg of the UCL that they won last year... Who's really the bigger disappointment?
You can always expect 2 delusional takes from English pundits. 1. Premier League is the most competitive with the most amount of best teams, that's why they'll do good in Europe. 2. The Premier League is a direct cause for a better English national team (when Man City and Liverpool have a majority of non-English superstars).
To be fair, (Bayern, Real, PSG, Dortmund) etc don't have schedules like PL clubs. Also I don't think a club beyond or before 15/16th placed can genuinely give a top 2/3 club that many problems in most leagues but PL is without a doubt a different ballgame entirely. Every game is different and hard fought for ex. (Real vs {Osasuna}) will more or less end up one way. SL makes sense tbh, if jeopardy was added and new clubs can keep entering it, CL needs to step up with competition format.
The money in the league spreads the talent out in ways that it doesn't in Spain and Germany.
The top end of European football is relatively even. The top prem, German, Spanish, Italian teams plus PSG are all able to spend cash and compete. The place where the massive prem cash is really felt is 8 and below. The bottom 10-12 clubs are head and shoulders above the bottom of every other league because of the quality of player they can bring in.
Damn was this video a proper bait and switch...you got me
It's marketing. It's English, and more readily available to view for most of the world.
I'm a Barca fan and we'd struggle to finish top 4 in the PL in our current state. We're in a dark phase just like United. However, Madrid would definitely be in the race along with Munich, if we forego the anomalous season in Germany.
As a German I'd say the Premier League is the best league in the world and is still massively overrated. The two aren't mutually exclusive. The way English pundits and Prem fans are talking about other leagues PL teams should win every game in Europe 7:0 to be honest. It was only a few weeks ago when some English guys on a football channel said Brighton would win Serie A. That's just one example of so many...
If anything its underrated. So many top teams and managers even at midtable. The top 2-3 teams are unreal, usually high quality title fights, Most UCL finalists and winners since 2017. I mean how does Klopps Liverpool only win 1 league ffs? The only thing you can talk about is Citys dominance and they cheated!
Liverpool is the only respectable club from England ! Man United have lost their impact in Europe
@@ebaimulema6668what impact we never had impact on Europe anyway
How can you three have this argument when all you watch is the premier league, your ball knowledge outside of the prem is very low
Also, any chance these three have to slander arsenal they take, embarrassing
These lot always relate everything back to Liverpool or Arsenal and sometimes spurs. They also slagged off Newcastle for not getting through one of the toughest groups in champions league history and were actually unlucky to not go through. They don’t know ball
Yes
You could say "the Premier League is overrated" 1 million times and it still wouldn't be enough
I think so. Spain and Italy, maybe even Germany is where historically the best football is played. I think you take the best team ever to play in each of those countries, they beat the best premier league team ever. That being said, late 70s early 80s, English clubs win the European Cup 7 out of 8 years which is pretty cool
Might be overrated but still far entertaining than other leagues.
is it tho? Or are you just not watching other leagues?
😂😂😂 Myopia 😂
Based on what ?
@@generalversio8051a league that is a surprisingly fun watch is the Swedish league
@@marcus8030 come on man, bundesliga is so bad. They play with 0 defensive intensity. It is so open from one side to another. And they dont even have good finishers to make the openness look cool. It just looks amateur. I do like watching some laliga teams like sociedad or atleti but other than that the bottom half of the table is actually boring. Even the top half, it is not that fun to watch madrid when they are not in a knockout matches because they do not have structure and their players just do so many stupid shit that they wont do in knockout competitions. The italian league has been fun only just last year for me because of napoli and thats it.
15 different Bundesliga teams made it to the CL group stage. 13 from La Liga, only 10 Premier League clubs. Yes it's overrated. If the league outside the top 4 was that great there would be more variety.
its where the money is but at the same time it attracted the money by being a competitive league so has the best tv deals all round the world that is split fairly between the clubs where in spain and germany the top clubs take the majority. rich people who want to buy a club will buy west ham before villareal because they see they have more chance of upsetting the top teams, where no matter what it will always be barca, madrid in spain because there supported by the governments and there has to be release clause in the players contract in spain
How this went from Premier league to Arsenal is hilarious……
It’s overrated in one aspect, but no not really. It’s the top league. So it’s kind of hard for it to be overrated. The one argument against that is coming from my Italian perspective. When Serie A was the top league, it wasn’t viewed as so massively superior by its own fans and the football media. Whereas English football’s fans and the football media in general make it seem like it’s the only league currently worth watching. For me EPL, Bundesliga, La Liga, and Serie A are all very good and definitely worth viewing. And I’ve felt that way since the late 90s.
its not over rated , its extremely competitive , which is both a blessing and a hinderance
My kid's soccer league is more competitve than the PL. Does that make it better?
Make no mistakes. PSG we’re out in the group stage of not a criminal penalty vs Newcastle.
Buvey not mentioning city’s spending a minute in is laughable
England has the money but none of the tactics. They outsource the best managers, they dont create any themselves.
Anyone got a link for this Bayern fan cam they are going on about please 🤔
This discussions be stupid cause buvey downplays his city performance then shits on everyone without offering any substance
Yes.
Both things can be true at the same time.
I do believe the premier league is the best league in the world but it's definitely overrated just by the fact premier league fans believe the premier league is light years above the others leagues and that's just not the case.
I don’t think the premier is overrated what fans/teams are at times are is arrogant. But there is always some other club in Europe ready to humble them.
Yes it’s overrated, 10 to 20 years ago it was incredible and i think the majority of us still see the league as it was back then.
It’s over rated but it’s 1000% the most entertaining so in terms of football we all watch it for entertainment so the PL is the best by far
there’s a few top teams in most leagues that can match up with our top teams but if u put our bottom 10 teams against the bottom 10 in other countries there’d be a clear winner, in england bottom can beat the top and that’s been proven year in year out whereas u never see bayern, psg or madrid losing to a bottom 5 team in their league
What top teams are in Prem aside City? 😂😂😂
Of course you have an English semi final you get almost 8 teams going to the CL,EL,Confer L. Other country's get 2-3 max
Imagine putting spurs and money spent in the same sentence
Girona making la liga more exciting and leverkusen overthrow bayern kinda make it fun. But PL by far most competitive.
City -> 6 prems in 7 seasons 😂
Really competitive 😂👏
Inzaghi winning the League with Inter and Motta taking Bologna to the UCL, Serie A is just different they just need some Cash to attract Top Players cause they are the only other League with a Top 6...Juve, Inter, Ac Milan, Napoli, Lazio, Atalanta and Roma.. actually Top 7.
And Africa is one of the biggest Football Markets do you know which Club has more fans after Man UTD, Arsenal.
Am a United fan but i think Arsenal are the second biggest English Club in terms of Global reach Liverpool barely has fans in Africa, Chelsea has a strong following but i think Arsenal just has a little bit more.
The EPL, aka the mercenary league is overrated. It might be the richest league. But then you have to come the conclusion that you lack the trophies and silverware with all that money spent. So there is no way you can say it's the best. Facts over Feelings!
its overrated. but our biggest problem is this season. the points deductions. city not being charged yet. the pgmol. I live in Germany and most people just laugh at the PL this season. from the outside everybody can see the corruption as they cant control the media in other countries.
No, it’s pound for pound the best league in Europe (therefore the world).
Now is the gap in money greater than gan in quality when comparing it to other leagues? Yes.
But this was also the case for Serie A back in the 80’s and 90’s. It had the most money, but that gap in money was greater than the gap in quality.
I think it’s actually an inevitability tbh.
Most overrated league of all time. Win an international trophy with your country and then you can say you have world class players
This is one of those things. Where there is no possible way to answer this question without there being 100 hours in the day.
No one can watch enough English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch etc football to make an argument about which is the best league, and therefore from that, if the prem is overrated.
I really enjoy the German Bundesliga, have done since covid, where Germany started football before the UK. Is it overrated, because Bayern pretty much always win?
I don't know...
I tend to side with the thought that, it's a fun league to watch, but a bad league to follow.
And on the Prem. I watch maybe 4-5 games a week. Which i'm sure are rookie numbers. I think it's good.. But THE MOST SUPERLATIVE LEAGUE!? That's a silly question, and so is judging over overrratedness.
It's definitely overrated. It's artificially propped up by foreign money and owners, and It's the only league where they don't have managers from the home country winning the league.
Players of superb individual quality often times decide how the champions league ends. That's why Madrid win so much. It can be a serious advantage over teams like Liverpool and City.
Rory brought up a really good point about the premier league schedule affecting English teams in Europe
It’s obvious that certain people don’t know what it means to actually be a big club. It’s a shame
Yes, it is overrated AF. It's a farmers league, Man City is farming the league trophies. Just because it's difficult to get places 2-5 doesn't mean that the league isn't easy for spot number 1. Man City are already favourites for the next season, and this one isn't even done. Think about that.
It’s basically that all the other leagues, it’s the same teams always qualifying so they have more experience and all other leagues are weaker and can play weakened teams a lot of the time.
6 of the last 7 leagues won by City. Man City won 5 in 6 EFL cups. And the 3 promoted teams usually always go down. Usually the same teams in the top 3/4 at the minute.
The recent domestic success of City is unprecedented in England and a result of the best manager in the world with unlimited resources. Even with that, Liverpool have challenged them with point totals that would have won the league in any other year multiple times and now Arsenal has rebuilt. The 3 promoted teams definitely don’t always go down; Just off the top of my head recently Leicester, Wolves, Sheffield, Fulham, Brentford, Leeds, have all come up and done well and some stayed up. There is very strong competition throughout the league, top 6 always has 10 solid teams competing and there’s always a good relegation battle. Top 4 has the most competition of any league, nothing is guaranteed.
Then explain Wolves, Brighton, Leicester, Brentford, Bournemouth, Aston Villa, Fulham and Forest who all go promoted in the last 10 years and didn't get relegated. Even Huddersfield survived a season.
@@BDAShadow1 yes, I'm obviously refering to recent seasons. This & last year especially.
@@alexfielding7191 this season bro.. Man City streaks through again, Liverpool & Arsenal close but no cigar (again), all 3 promoted teams going straight back down.. 2 Prem teams getting deducted a combined 12 points & still don't go down.

And we don't have a single English team in the semi final or either Champions League or Europa despite being MASSIVELY the wealthiest league in the world, with the biggest pool of "better" players
@@philsblogs8527 You didn't say this season, you said the three newly promoted teams usually always go down which is wrong. Newly promoted teams staying up or relegated has stayed around the same since the Prems inception and it's normally it breaks even, it's always the same or may even be better rate than the other top leagues.
Also you're forgetting the last 4 seasons when English clubs made 50% of the semi final teams in the CL and at least 1 made it to the Europa semis. You need to improve that goldfish memory.
Other European leagues help their clubs playing in continental tournaments. Ours don’t. It’s as simple as that.
"They are not more likely to beat them but they are a better side"??
English lads are deluded
I wouldnt watch a team in 15th position vs 18th position of any league but I would watch of EPL
It is overrated. Man City win it every year. Only LFC have stopped them in recent history. We call the German league the farmers league for the exact same reason.
I believe there is just more footballing talented players available than the Premier League can buy. So even though PL clubs might get most of the great players and coaches, there is still plenty left over for other clubs to build great teams. English media just focus more on their own league, so the other teams kind of fly under the radar.
Is the Premier league overrated? No
Do we massively under rate the other leagues? To a criminal level
