For many sports such as hockey, baseball, football, and basketball there is one dominant league in the world. Contrary to this, soccer has powerful and influential leagues across the globe. Here are the top five leagues in the world.
5) Portuguese Liga – The quality of the league is up there with the top leagues in the world. The one issue is the league cannot afford to hold on to elite talent for long. Also, just two teams winning the title since 2002 can be a turn off for fans who love parity.
4) Italian Serie A – Ever since the match-fixing scandal in 2006, the league has yet to reach the panicle it once was. Still, Serie A is one of the best leagues in the world. Viewership has tanked since the scandal but at least Juventus remains one of the most popular clubs on the planet.
3) German Bundesliga – The league can thank Bayern Munich for becoming a top team in the world (perhaps better than Barcelona). With attendance and interest levels rising, Bundesliga is a league to watch moving forward.
2) English Premier League – Arguably having the highest excitement level, the Primer League comes second on this list. This league has multiple teams that can beat any team at any team. If you love unpredictable soccer, this is the league for you.
1) Spanish La Liga – Ronaldo vs. Messi. Need I say more? These two fight for the title “Best Player in the World” what seems like every year for 8 years. Real Madrid and Barcelona playing each other is the most exciting club match in the world. In addition, Aletico Madrid has become a force in the soccer world.
