>>149689814>It is when you can only send one team to the European cupit's not. there were 3 competitions with 4-6 teams from each of the top leagues participating in total, so the competition with only 1 team from each league couldn't decide which league was dominant
>The point is that the graph is wrong no matter what metric you take.the graph is 100% correct if you take the metric of the league with the best UEFA coefficient because that's literally what the graph shows. and a league can't be considered "dominant" in a given period if it didn't even have the highest UEFA coefficient at the time
>Nice, nice. How many "reached the semi-finals" cups did then win?one, that's why I said that they were behind England in terms of UCL
>And the UEFA cup and Cup Winners' Cup were secondary competitions.yes, but if the English league had been dominant in that period, their teams wouldn't have fared worse than West German teams in those two competitions, especially the UEFA Cup. how can a league be dominant if its teams 2-5 aren't able to outcompete teams 2-5 from another league? Ligue 1 won't be a dominant league over EPL only supposing that PSG rapes everyone in the UCL for the next few seasons. the other French teams would need to show competitive results too
>The EPL is clearly dominant nowadays and yet you'll still sometimes see EPL teams underperform in secondary competitionsthe secondary competitions are practically irrelevant for determining the dominant league today because every UCL has 4-5 teams from each of the top leagues. that wasn't the case around 1980 when most of the top league teams played in the UEFA Cup
