Post Covid, and in a new austere era, they have the income....it is clear Real and Barca will have to cut cost and at least pretend to pay back some debt; Serie A doesn't have the same income streams; France has lost its TV deal and is trying to secure a lower one.And if you looked at last year where just one English club made the last 8 in CL and no further, but Spain, France and Germany each had 2.
And similarly only Man U in the semis was it for Europa?
So last year we’d be saying England was miles behind France who had 2 clubs in the semi, one in the final.
If English clubs had had a sustained period of dominance it may have had some merit.
