Leicester City managed to win the league last season because every top team underperformed. If anything, an average team like Leicester City winning the league should epitomize on how far behind has Premier League found itself in terms of quality.
City, Chelsea, United all performed significantly poorly.
EPL teams don't compare to La Liga teams in terms of quality. Forget the top 3 teams, Athletic Bilbao, Villareal, Sevilla, Deportivo La Coruna, Valencia all have a number of top players that would walk into most Premier League teams.
A simple observation between duels between La Liga and EPL teams over the past 6-7 seasons should give you an idea about the difference in class between teams in the two leagues.
And the less we talked about winners of CL and Europa/Uefa Cup during the same period, the better.
Teams like Barcelona, Sevilla, Athletic Bilbao, Real have repeatedly abused Premier League teams.
People often think La Liga is an easy walk in the park for three teams but they often ignore the fact that all 3 teams have ranked among top 5 clubs in Europe over the past 3/4 seasons.
Premier League teams seem stronger this season with the arrivals of Pep, Mourinho, and Conte but the purpose of bringing up strength of Premier League gets defeated when you consider the fact that Chelsea and United didn't even qualify for CL.
