PSG Get Clear Premier League Message as Barcelona, Real Madrid Fall Behind | OneFootball

The summer transfer window is about to close and while PSG made their shrewd business, it was a relatively quiet one considering only three players arrived. Moreover, the Premier League kept up with their spending as they distance themselves from La Liga.

It’s not only the top six that are spending a lot of money; it’s the middle of the table, and newly promoted clubs also spend plenty of cash at a rate that some La Liga and Ligue 1 clubs cannot match.

A football expert asks whether the top six Premier League clubs even need to join a Super League when, financially, they are already operating as one.

Does the Premier League hold all the power?

On Monday’s edition of After Foot RMC, pundit Polo Breitner had a rather alarming take for anyone who roots for a non-Premier League club.

“Ninety-five percent of European football is gone. The Super League is already outdated when you see the power of the English clubs. What’s the point of the Premier League facing Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, or PSG? In 10 years, they won’t even exist.”

PSG did show that they can go toe-to-toe with Premier League clubs, but when it comes to the other Ligue 1 clubs, they might be the exception and not the norm, considering English clubs won the UEFA Europa Conference League and UEFA Europa League last season.

Meanwhile, Spanish clubs Barcelona and Villarreal will play a regular-season La Liga match in the United States as a sign that both clubs need an influx of money to keep up with clubs in England.
