The Champions League continues. On the first day of the match, all three teams from the Premier League won without conceding a goal. According to the latest UEFA rankings, the Premier League has surpassed the Portuguese Super League and has become the league with the most points in a single season. It is expected to gain additional Champions League qualification spots again.

In this round, Arsenal was on full fire at home, scoring four goals in 13 minutes. Jocles scored twice, completely repelling Atletico Madrid. Fans were dissatisfied that Atletico Madrid actually had a shot that hit the target. When Manchester City came to the away game, Haaland was still the trustworthy man. After scoring early, he easily defeated Villarreal with two goals. Mourinho returned to familiar England for two consecutive rounds. After losing to Chelsea in the last round, he once again lost to Newcastle by three goals.

Among them, two games were contests between the Premier League and La Liga teams, and the Premier League still won the victory. In the first round of the Champions League, there were 4 Premier League and La Liga clashes. Arsenal defeated Bilbao, Tottenham defeated Villarreal, Liverpool defeated Atletico Madrid, and only Newcastle lost to Barcelona. The top six teams in the Premier League attacked collectively and out of the 6 "English-Spanish" confrontations, the Premier League teams won 5 of them, including 2 by Arsenal.

Next, Real Madrid will face Liverpool and Manchester City respectively, Barcelona will face Chelsea, and Bilbao will face Newcastle. Due to the limit of two encounters in each league, the six Premier League teams have a total of 10 games, facing La Liga teams. Chelsea and Tottenham have only one game, and the other four teams have reached the upper limit of two games. Since the Premier League and La Liga have a total of 11 teams participating in the Champions League, it is very normal for them to meet each other a lot.

Every summer, the Premier League is a trendsetter in the transfer market, and its investment is obviously much higher than that of other leagues. La Liga is often able to attract top stars. It is generally believed that the two major leagues are the strongest in Europe. Therefore, the confrontation between the Premier League and La Liga has always attracted much attention. This season, the Premier League has the upper hand. It has to be said that the Premier League is too difficult, but the Champions League is relatively easy.

Looking at the two major leagues, Real Madrid is at the top of La Liga, and Barcelona is second. There is only a 2-point gap between the two teams. However, Barcelona is already 5 points ahead of third-placed Villarreal. The new season has only started nine rounds. The La Liga duo quickly opened up a certain points gap. If there are not many surprises, this season will be a familiar "two-person turn".

Looking back at the Premier League, after three consecutive defeats in the league, Liverpool fell to third place in the standings. The top two are Arsenal and Manchester City, and the leader has a 3-point advantage. Starting from 16 points for 2nd place, all the way to the 7-point relegation zone for 17th place, there is at least one team for every point value. In other words, the gap between all teams is not big, and a victory can bring about a big change in the ranking. Manchester United, which is ranked 9th, is only 3 points behind Manchester City, which is ranked 2nd in the same city. This also reflects how compact the Premier League is.

Last season, even though Manchester United and Tottenham were both deep in the relegation zone, the two teams could successfully meet in the finals in the European competition. Although Amorim was under a lot of pressure, he was not ambiguous at all in the Europa League. He could beat Bilbao of La Liga 7-1 in the two rounds of the semi-finals. The only defeat came in the final, against a team from the Premier League.

It can be said that Amorim is still capable. Facing non-Premier League teams, the winning rate is quite high. It can also be said that the Premier League is really not easy. Facing mid-to-lower teams, even among the traditional top six, who can guarantee victory? Liverpool lost twice against Crystal Palace, Brighton defeated Manchester City and Chelsea one after another, and Bournemouth can also defeat Tottenham.

Coming out of the jungle of brutal fighting, the Premier League can have a strong advantage over other leagues. This is a blessing. On the other hand, the Premier League giants have to continue to fight against the jungle in their own jungle, which is even more unfortunate.

Some people always come up with hypothetical stories similar to Guan Gong's battle with Qin Qiong. If Real Madrid and Barcelona came to the Premier League to compete, where would they be ranked?
