With the qualification of all four English clubs into the last 16 of the Champions League (and all as group winners) this week, can the Premiership now be classed as the best league in Europe?

The cantera policy (which unofficially started in 1912) is seen by many neutrals as restricting Bilbao’s progress and crippling the clubs ambitions. Their ethical policy of only allowing Basque born players to represent them is admirable, but costing them dear (as the threat of relegation hangs over the club).

In 1955 there was a championship game that consisted of winning teams from the European National Football Leagues. This league has evolved into what is now a tournament among domestic European teams called the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).

The plight of Leeds United over recent years has highlighted the recent trend of teams that aim for instant success in a ‘Boom or Bust’ attitude. Their relegation in 2004 showed the errors of this approach and hopefully clubs can take heed of this in the future. Not all clubs who have this attitude suffer the same fate as Leeds and there are a handful clubs who have been successful with this policy.

Since the European Cup was made over into the Champions League in 1993, no team from the former Eastern Bloc has claimed the European crown. The only team from the East to have made an impact during that time was Dynamo Kyiv in the late 1990’s.
