If pep is seriously able to win this league 4times in a row serious discussions have to be had about this league, not even barca in messi prime won la liga four times in a row
:why:

Did you just start following footie breh?

Act like Real Madrid didn’t do 5-in a row in the late 80s and then Barca, under Cryuff did 4-in a row in the early 90s right after Madrid.

Pep even played under that “Dream Team” Barca that did the 4-peat, won their first European Cup, won a CwC, and sent a bunch of players to Olympic gold in ‘92

Being undefeated will obviously sway this heavily, but is Leverkusen winning Bundesliga bigger accomplishment than what Leicester did?

:patrice:
Nah. Bayer Leverkusen is a stable top 5/6 club in the BuLi. They’ve been close before, just never got over the line.

LC is a bigger accomplishment.

If Bayer go undefeated, however, different story.

liverpool won 7 or 8 out of 11 (IIRC) in the 70's and 80's + 3 european cups + 2 EUFA cups.

:hubie:


TL;DR other teams have done similar. if prem teams are >>> in europe as well then they would win those other "non-farmer" leagues too.
