My argument is that their domestic consistency assists their European consistency. If Man City and Liverpool dominate the EPL for the next 20 years, they will be able to have consistency in Europe too. At the moment English teams do well in the ECL by virtue of being in the most competitive league. There have been four different English teams that have won the ECL in approx the last 20 years.
I did understate the quality of the Spanish league in relation to Europe and I shouldn't have done that, although I still stand by my general points.
I still stand by my comments regarding clubs that have monopolies over their leagues, but I do accept that without big money being a monopoly doesn't help a club in Europe (as per Ajax and Benfica), but also that big money alone doesn't guarantee success (as per PSG. Although it would be a surprise if don't they eventually win a UCL).
