How does the English Championship stack up against the top leagues of Europe like Serie A, Ligue 1, La Liga, and the Bundesliga? Liga Portugal, Eredivisie ?
Despite being a level below the Premier League, the Championship is known for its competitive nature and financial might. Can it rival the quality, excitement, and talent of Europe’s elite leagues? Let’s discuss it here instead if derailing the Thigao Motta thread further…

With @OverratedOpinion arguing Serie A‘s level was closer to the Championship… (I I think it’s ridiculous… I don’t believe a team made out of championship players would have won the Euro at Wembley 2021..)

What's silly? That it's closer to the Championship?
It is a thought experiment that can't actually have a conclusion but it shocks me that anyone would find that statement surprising.
Here is the UEFA ranking based on actual results, Over the last 3 seasons (including the current one) Serie A (55,78) is closer to the PL(60,25) than it is to the other top leagues behind it. (49,6, 49,4 and 45,7)
Where do you think Championship would be in this ranking if we had that experiment?
Well considering the support for the clubs and money in England, if the Championship somehow had European football and tv rights they would probably be extremely competitive.
Also cup competitions are extremely different as I've said.
This wasn’t your initial statement… it was not contingent on championship clubs having Europe money. You said they were currently at serie A level…
Otherwise it is silly… I could say that if Bologna had the PL money they’d win the PL given how good they’ve performed in Italy going toe to toe with Juventus while only spending a fraction of Juve’s budget…
I was just amused by your weird Brexit rhetoric, Ingurland good, foreign teams bad
To say the Serie A is lower than Championship level doesn't deserve a serious discussion because it's quite simply ludicrous.
For someone capable of such 'drastic' opinions you also seem to have a relatively thin skin. I posted a and you completely lost the plot.
Nah just found it funny how you're going on about hypothetical scenarios and using words like 'fact' and 'logic'. Then getting wound up and sarcastically saying it's the best league ever even though no one argued it is.
You're literally just saying your opinion but said "it's a fact Serie A is a rubbish league". So your opinion is fact, interesting that you're then saying @Berbaclass is the manipulative husband
It is rubish, so is the Championship when we are talking about the Premier League. I've not said 1 even remotely inconsistent thing. Keep clutching at straws and arguing like a strange, strange person.
