Is La Liga superior compared to other top 4 leagues like English Premier League? I have witnessed La Liga's dominance in Europe so I was wondering if they've been superior to other leagues.

Watching too much football lately. 17w ago I assume that your question goes more along the lines of  which league has better teams overall. I’m going to start by saying that La Liga and EPL are certainly a tier above the Bundesliga, Serie A, and Ligue 1 . While there are teams in these leagues that can compete with anyone in the continent (FC Bayern, BVB, Juventus, PSG), we can generally say that the teams in these leagues are weaker than English and Spanish teams. The data confirms this, by means of UEFA association and club coefficients. Now, we can move on to the tricky EPL vs La Liga comparison.  I would say that upper half La Liga clubs are, on average, at least as good as the upper half EPL clubs, but that the bottom half of EPL clubs is probably stronger than their counterparts in La Liga.  Here’s some of my reasoning for that. EPL vs La Liga: European performance To summarize the last 5 years of results in UEFA competitions (Champions League and Europa League), here is
