Moving among soccer fans and those that have watched the game for a while, comparisons of leagues will always be a thing.
The English Premier League which is by far the most watched league in world football has always come under criticism from some the fans who have watched Spanish La Liga, Bundesliga, Italian Series A among others.
To some of the fans, the Spanish League is the best league in the world and well according to some sporting associations, there are stats to back up this claim.

But how about we look at this from a fans perspective.
Thrill
Comparing the EPL to many other leagues around the world, the EPL has so much thrill given the high pace and strength put in the game.
With so many teams able to give such thrills, one would easily go with EPL. In Spain, the top 6 teams can give this thrill when they face off and probably some local derbies and same can be said about Italy and Germany.
Competitiveness
In terms of competitiveness, the EPL still has an upper hand in this. So many mid table teams can give the top 4 or 6 from which ever corner you viewing it (Arsenal fans say here here!) competition. Recently we saw Leicester city win the EPL from nowhere, which we are yet to see in La Liga, Bundesliga or Series A.
Technique
When it comes to technique of playing with the ball, Spain rules in the department with so many players displaying individual technique and managers being able to deploy some tactics that are just masterful. This somehow explains why Spanish teams have had an upper hand in the Champions League.
Talent
The English media has managed to market potential players into what one would call world class players but actual truth is that the real talent is coming from other leagues and in most cases, these talents have come to light up the EPL the likes of Aguero, Sanchez, Coutinho, David Silva, Martial, Lukaku, Eden Hazard, Kante the man who can protect the entire world by himself.
La Liga has some of the most talented players in the world and also explains why they have the most World Player of the Year awards.
Entertainment
The EPL is the most entertaining league in the world with almost each game able to keep you at the edge of your seat. While other leagues will give you mild entertainment but still give moments of shire brilliance.
All in all, depending on how you watch the games and what you look at out for, the different leagues serve us the fans different menus and it’s upon you the fan to choose what you want to go with.
Don’t ask me which league I go with because I will simply tell you that I watch all leagues in the world as long as I have the time and each is beautiful. Yes I even watch Brazilian Series A not so much of Major League Soccer though, they still have a lot to learn.
Probably my best league is Ugandan Premier League because of the off the pitch drama. But let’s keep this for another day shall we?
