Best league? Premier League sides endure Champions League nightmare | OneFootball

Is the Premier League the best league in the world? Very likely, yes. Was there any evidence of that in the first legs of the Champions League Round of 16? Nope!

Things didn't go well at all for the five English representatives. While Newcastle held their own against Barcelona (1:1), the rest disappointed. Arsenal's 1:1 draw in Leverkusen and Liverpool's 0:1 loss at Galatasaray were definitely below the expectations of top teams. For three teams, it went much, much worse.

Both Chelsea (2:5) and Manchester City (0:3) and Tottenham (2:5) lost by a three-goal margin. By the way, it's unprecedented for two or more English teams to lose by such a margin on a CL night.

Premier League fans must currently feel like they're in a terrible nightmare from which they can't wake up.

What do you think: How many PL teams will make it to the quarter-finals next week?
