>>149161737Can you not read? I said the era where Prem clubs were beginning to get stacked, which started in full-swing in the mid '00s before it became undoubtedly the most stacked league in the '10s leading to 4 different CL winners from the Premier League, more than any other league by far (LaLiga and Seria A tied for 2nd place with 2 different winners each.)
English football has by far the most European Champions all time, suggesting that the English League in it's various forms has been the most competitive in European football history. If you add Scotland then there's Celtic as well to add to the list.
Probably would have been a lot more if it wasn't for Scousers getting everyone banned in '85 til the early 90s.
Meanwhile no Bunde team that isn't Bayern has won CL since Dortmund in '97 or HSV in '82 or '83 (?). Plus Yanited won in '99 years before the English league became a real European force again.
Anyway, this was a long and roundabout way of saying yes 'you' did beat 'us' at Euro '96, but that doesn't mean Jay-Jay Okocha was a shit player.
