...in the CL final.
But just how far ahead are the European teams compared to the English teams?
We don't even seen to be giving them a run for their money these days!
So It's Real Madrid V Juventus....

I think if you put Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool or City all at their best against any team in Europe at their best they would compete with anyone.
Our teams' problem is hitting our best form at the right time in Europe and our league campaign is much more taxing on a weekly basis than that of the top teams in Europe.

Look at Leicester, they gave a fairly good account of themselves in the CL when they focused more on it than the league.
To do well in both, our teams need better strength in depth.

This.
Chelsea and United have competed on both fronts multiple times.
Squad depth but also a winning mentality under pressure is key

The EPL seems to be be more important somehow. So much money to lose by not getting top 4 that even when in the Champs League, the focus is lost.

The English clubs are at a disadvantage due to the superior competitiveness of the PL.
There are very few easy games in the PL, compare that to La Liga or the Italian league where Juve and Real can coast through a large percentage of their league games and save their legs for European nights.

No, the English clubs are at a disadvantage because their players aren't as good

You are obviously joking.
Juve, Real, etc etc .... are way ahead of English teams.
