Chapter 481: The Status Quo of the Five Major Leagues
Football is undoubtedly the number one sport in the world, and this year is another quadrennial World Cup, and the number of fans who follow football is the most in four years.
And the five major leagues are also very hot, and the Premier League can be said to be the most eye-catching among the five major leagues.
This year's top five league rankings are the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1, and the Premier League is also the largest number of existing giants in the five major leagues.
At present, there are Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and the business operation model of the Premier League is mature.
In previous years, the Premier League teams basically chased the championship in the Premier League, resulting in poor results in the Champions League, but this year they collectively killed all sides in the Champions League.
Serie A since the 07 phone-door incident, the status has been declining, and 10 years later, the Milan duo has also withered, this season's Serie A in addition to Juventus played superbly, but also joined the Chinese-funded Inter Milan, AC Milan.
The arrival of fierce competition has also made Napoli, Lazio, and Roma feel the pressure and turn into motivation to move forward, and Serie A is also expected to regain the title of mini-World Cup, and Juventus is currently riding in the league and has reached the top 8 in the Champions League.
Last season's La Liga Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid joined hands to reach the top 4 of the Champions League, but after the start of the 17/18 season, Real Madrid's performance in the league Champions League is a bit unlike last year's Real Madrid, and the league has been 8 points behind Barcelona in the 10th round.
This is not a little worse for Real Madrid, who won the defending Champions League, and in the summer transfer, Real Madrid also let go of a number of big players, J Ronaldo, Morata, Pepe, Danilo are all gone.
As the saying goes, good and bad happen not alone, Real Madrid's existing striker Bale, right-back Carvajal, and goalkeeper Keylor Navas were all injured in the game, which also led to Real Madrid's poor performance in the league.
Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, but only Barcelona is left to lead, and Barcelona is unstoppable in the league and currently maintains an unbeaten record, but was eliminated by Chelsea in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
The Bundesliga can be said to have always been Bayern's dominance, Bayern's dominance is due to the glory of its own history, as a country that won the 2014 World Cup, Bayern's strength is indeed very strong, Bayern is also a leader in the league, and it is also the top 8 of the league!
This year's Ligue 1 has started a new round of football storm because of the emergence of Monaco, a dark horse.
Paris is a new rising football giant in football, and Qatar, the gold owner behind Paris, in order to create the image of the 2022 World Cup, can be said to have spent a lot of money this season, first signing Barcelona Crown Prince Neymar for 220 million euros, and then introducing Mbappe from Monaco for 180 million.
As a result, Ligue 1 has become a rivalry between Paris and Monaco this season.
