What are European League points:
European points are an indicator of the performance of a country's domestic football team in various competitions of European football. This indicator (European points) can be used as a reference for the level of the country's football league. The level of European points directly affects the number of places for national leagues to participate in various competitions such as the Champions League, Europa League and Europa League, so national leagues attach great importance to European points.
Simplified European Points Algorithm:
European League points are the sum of "team points" and "team points" in the last five seasons. (Reserved to the thousandth place, i.e. 3 decimal places, rounded to the 10,000th place)
Total team points / number of teams participating = average number of points a team has played in European competitions
There are also such cumbersome calculations, so I won't elaborate on them here.
Who is the First League?
Serie A?
From the perspective of the European standings, Serie A ranks first, but no team in Serie A has entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League this year, and the European record in this round is 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, as follows:
Europa League quarterfinals
Liverpool 0-3 Atalanta (Serie A)
AC Milan 0-1 Roma (Serie A Civil War)
UEFA Europa Conference League quarterfinals
Plzen wins 0-0 Fiorentina (Serie A)
Although Serie A tops the European standings, it still eats the dividends of Milan in the top four of last year's Champions League, as well as Europa League runner-up Roma and Europa Conference League runner-up Fiorentina. However, there are still 4 teams in Serie A in Europe, but there are no Serie A teams in the Champions League, and we can only hope for the performance of Europa League Milan, Roma, Atalanta and Europa League Fiorentina. Although Serie A has high European points, indicating that the strength of the Serie A team to participate in the European competition is not bad, but because the Serie A team pays attention to defense, it is more popular in the European competition in the form of a cup competition. At present, due to the revival of Serie A, although the top teams of Serie A are not too competitive in the Champions League, the Serie A teams that focus on defense can slowly make Serie A's European results better and better!
Bundesliga?
In the past, the Bundesliga European competition relied on Bayern and Dort, two Bundesliga giants, and the other teams entering the European competition did not perform as well as they wanted. But this year, there is one more pharmaceutical company, Leverkusen, and the Bundesliga has a European record of 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in this round, as follows:
Champions League quarterfinals
Arsenal 2-2 Bayern Munich (Bundesliga)
Atletico 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (Bundesliga)
Europa League quarterfinals
Bayer Leverkusen (Bundesliga) 2-0 West Ham United
The most eye-catching performance in this round of Bundesliga European competition is not Bayern Munich, the "king of North London", but Bayer Leverkusen, the new champion of the Bundesliga. The Bundesliga European competition has not broken out for many years, and a league European points rely on the results of the overall European teams, rather than relying on one or two teams alone, and I hope that the resurgence of the pharmaceutical company Leverkusen can make the Bundesliga enter an era of competition, so that the Bundesliga has a chance to compete for the first league of European football.
Spanish?
La Liga's European record in this round is very good, with 2 wins and 1 draw, as follows:
Champions League quarterfinals
Real Madrid (La Liga) 3-3 Manchester City
Paris Saint-Germain 2-3 Barcelona (La Liga)
Atletico Madrid 2-1 Borussia Dortmund
In recent years, La Liga has slowly withdrawn from the qualification to compete for the first European league, not that La Liga teams are particularly poor, but only Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have good results in La Liga, and other teams rarely enter the top 16 of European competition. A country's strength cannot only rely on the military or the economy, but needs to be strong in many aspects.
Premier league?
The European record in this round of the Premier League is 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses, although the record is not satisfactory, but there are two Champions League heavyweight games, as follows:
Champions League quarterfinals
Real Madrid 3-3 Manchester City (Premier League)
Arsenal (Premier League) 2-2 Bayern
Europa League quarterfinals
Liverpool (Premier League) 0-3 Atalanta
Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 West Ham United (Premier League)
UEFA Europa Conference League quarterfinals
Aston Villa 2-1 Lille
In recent years, the Premier League has been slowly reformed by the FA, and the funds have become more and more abundant, and each team has more sufficient funds to recruit, making the Premier League more and more competitive. The Premier League, which is competing with each other, is not like the Ligue 1, not like the Double Dragon of the Bundesliga, not like the triumph of La Liga, and the Premier League's European record is getting better and better, and the current Premier League has been known as the first league in European football.
Whether it is the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga and Ligue 1, only the healthy development of all teams in the league is competitive and competitive, rather than the giants controlling the league, so as to achieve good results in European competition and sit firmly on the throne of the first league of European football.
