After the first round of Champions League knock out games, all the "big four" are in good positions to be in the final 8, and giving the Prem half the slots in the final 8. That would be impressive. Since the 2003-2004 edition, England has always had at least one club in the Champions League semi finals. During that span, the Premier has secured two titles and had 3 teams earn runner up medals. So does this mean that the Premiership is the dominate league in footie?
It would be hard to argue against the Premiership's current form. Arsenal is the weakest of the 4 clubs from England and from all reports they dominated AS Roma (I have not had a chance to watch my DVR). Chelsea scored a famous victory against the Old Lady. Manchester United secured the essential, a road draw. And Liverpool scored a huge 1-0 win away to Real Madrid and will force Real to have to come to Anfield and win a game. I am not ready to crown one of the big four as this year's champion, but the odds are that one of them will be Rome in May. Of course Athletico, Real, Barca and Villereal could also turn their ties around and place 4 Spanish clubs in the final 8 as well!
