Is Premier League Actually Easier To Win Than The Champions League? 

Every domestically has its difficulties but you know where most things will get their results and where they could drop points. In UCL nothing is ever set in stone or assumed because that’s the champions league, it’s unpredictability makes it amazing and even massive teams could even go to the final lose to the smallest team in the competition Real Madrid lost to Sheriff at home and now are in the finals.

You’re forgetting one hugee factor though. It’s also harder to win the champions league as you have to first do well enough the season before to actually qualify for it. Meaning you have to do well for 2 seasons in order to win the champions league, as opposed to just having 1 good season like Leicester had

Champions league is harder because of the different teams, and the stress. Also, no one cares if you win the pl, so even if its easier to win CL its still a bigger accomplishment than Pl. Imagine you were a pro footballer and you tell your kids "I won 5 UCLs" versus "I won 5 Premiere Leagues" Which one would they be more surprised at? Champions League

PL is about consistency and being the absolute best across 38 games and against CL participants and potential CL winners whom you have to play twice. CL is about key moments and you can avoid top sides to make it to the final. ------- PL is nothing like what it used to be you cannot drop points anymore and you have to play at an elite level almost perfect and consistently hit 90+ points to win each season. That is insane.

It ultimately depends on the teams you face. Liverpool had Inter, Benfica, Villarreal Real had PSG, Chelsea, Us (pain).

PL is harder to win in terms of quantity of games. UCL is harder to win in terms of quality of games.

It depends on how you see the difficulty; The UCL is like a Track and Field race, you put in all your effort from the beginning, making sure you don't slip up, or make a mistake, because even the slightest of those things could see you out of the competition. Leagues, (and i used "Leagues" because this logic doesn't only apply to the EPL), is more like a marathon, you have to be consistent, and hope your opponents are not as consistent, there are rooms for mistakes, and slip ups, but you have to make sure not to make too many, and really kick into full gear at the end if you're battling with other teams for the title... So the UCL is short, or at least shorter, but almost always difficult, hectic, almost no room for mistakes, and you have to be precise; while leagues are long, it is more lenient in regards to it can give room for mistakes, but you have to have consistency if you want to win it... Now, on which is more prestigious, that's not even a question; to even get into the UCL, you have to have done well in your league the previous season, the UCL is an exclusive competition for the elites of Europe, the winners are literally the Kings of Europe, and the last time i checked, being Kings of Europe(football wise) triumphs over being Kings of a country in Europe.

Is like comparing a short distance 100 m or 200m sprinter versus a 42.5 km marathon runner. Does it mean one winner is better than the other? I mean the bodies of sprinter and marathon runner are built differently so do teams. Its about which competition are you more suitable with the talents and resources you have

2:02 real madrid : are you sure about that?

The champions league is harder because of teams playing different opponents which brings in a factor of luck...injuries also impact UCL more than EPL...you could lose 5 games in EPL and still win it when your players recover..UCL you only need to lose 1game to be out..

I don't know how one can argue against that, just look how many of the ucl final teams were the champions of their leagues, luck is really relevant in the ucl but in league format the champions have to win week in week out against teams who are holding for dear life or they are really good

Each team's differ, prem is harder to win if the team don't have the squad depth but if your team can't adapt them you will find it harder to win the ucl but if you have no squad depth then it's harder to win the prem

If the PL was harder , it doesn't explain why man city win the league left, right and centre and still bottle in the ucl, even barca in 2k18&2k19 when they won la liga but were smoked by Liverpool and Roma

Champion league

Maybe

To give a definitive answer to this question is impossible. Football, and in particular winning a competition like the league or the UEFA Champions League depends on series of variables? To coin a phrase… “in the hands of the football gods”

In my opinion The Champions League is harder than the premier League because it is so unpredictable it's basically a anyone's game example Man City, Bayern, PSG and Juventus basically win their Leagues every season anyone can win the Champions League even freakin West ham United can win the Champions League

Without a doubt

You play 90% of dsame team year in year out and the one when you play different champions and different team

In the PL you can still make up points if you're behind whether in CL is one mistake and you're out ask Pep.😂🤣

I want some few people to agree with me that VAR is meaningless to league games and Europe trophy's as well. only for match to match watchers some refs take stupid decisions and even VAR agree on something you see as a mistake or foul 😢sad

2:05 real madrid laughing rly hard rn

For underdogs its easier to win champions league and for the favourites it’s probably easier to win the league as 38 games to show their quality whereas one bad game and you are eliminated from the ucl

For me the league is the bigger personal achievement but Ucl is harder and more professionally recognised however; paradoxically doesn't need more skill... because the difficulty is in the luck element needed to win it because of the ko format. Separately, It seems a bit weird to me how you can be the "champion of champions" without actually being the champions of anything. You can be, on paper, the best team and still lose UCL.. that doesn't happen in the league unless you get a freak season like Leicester.

If the pl mattered that much, then messi and ronaldo would want to be there, instead they're content in other leagues vying for the champions league. Let that sink in.

Prem is due to the hardcore season over the Course of 37 games over a season and some Are only two days apart

My rainbrow is going to be there in a few days

I think both leagues are hard to win, but I will say the Premier League, a win 3 points imagine, and a lose 0 points even you scored although the UCL is hard, just win or draw you can actually win, to be fair the Premier League is harder, to get into the champions league you must do well in a season of your league

One thing to note is that in order for you to qualify for the champions league you must make top 4 in the premier league

Bro said entire three peat😂😂😂😂

You can go through a knockout round in the UCL by luck or a bad decision and you can win the UCL for the same reasons... Over the course of an EPL season the bad decisions have a chance to even themselves out.. In a nutshell the EPL is harder.!

the premier league is easier because to even be in the ucl you have to do great in the league

Yes

Champions League is tougher to win facing with big clubs in the final and it's emotional to win this trophy but premier League is just one of difficult league to win because many teams in this league are hard to beat but Man City make them easier to beat and to win but never won UEAF champions league and PSG is one of them but they say are one of the best team in the World but to be one of the best team in the world is to win champions league if the team win league trophy is one of the best team in the league but not in the World

U can win the UCL in 7 games the EPL goes for 10 months. UCL is based on luck depends what draw u get. The EPL is about consistency. In UCL u don't need to be the best team in ur league but u can still win the UCL. For example in 2000 Madrid finish 6th in La Liga but they won UCL cuz they got the easy draw to get to the final. Same with Liverpool 05 and Chelsea 2012 both finished 5th but won the UCL cuz of easy draw going to the final. In EPL u can claim to be the best in the league considering u played every team home and away for 38 games. In UCL u don't play everybody u only play what's given to u. There's more weight being EPL champions vs being champions of UCL. Plus the prize money winning the EPL is far way more money winning the UCL

The championship league is hard to win because you face different teams, and play a few games to win it, every team is hard to beat because every team has loads of experience, the premier league is easier to win because of how many games you have to prove yourself unlike the championships league with only 13 games

For me premier league is harder and CL is easy because in CL you need to keep your head up make sure you put best performance and try to win all the games and just do that 13 times you've won the CL but compare to a 38 game season but(easier said than done)

Champions league because you have to be one of the best in your league such as top 4 for premier league or 1st in the Scottish premier league before getting to the champions league

UCL includes premier league's last season top 4.DEBATE OVER

That's common knowledge

I believe PL is harder. In another video I read a comment that stated the following " Champions League is harder, ask Manchester City, they have won the PL several times in the last couple of years but not the CL". I partially agree with that comment, but there are other factors to it. In 2018 when Guardiola won his first PL title with City, Liverpool also got to the CL final, losing to Madrid. Liverpool finished that PL season on 4th place (75 pts.) 25 points behind City (100 pts.) The next year, in 2019. Man City won the PL title just one point (98 pts.) above Liverpool (97 pts.). That same year Liverpool got to the CL final winning against Tottenham whom finished the PL in 4th place (71 pts.). Right up until this point neither Liverpool nor Tottenham had previously won the PL. In 2020 COVID happened and Liverpool was able to win the PL with 99 points but wasn't able to reach the Championship League Final. Man City finished that season Iin second with 81 points, and also wasn't able to reach the CL final. In 2021, there was once again an English CL final. Chelsea vs Man City, the first City CL final under Guardiola, they finished that PL season on 1st place with 86 points to a fourth place premier league team, Chelsea with 67 points. Chelsea went onto win the CL final that year. In 2022, Liverpool got to CL final with 92 points in the PL , once again they lost the league just one point behind Man City with 93 points. Liverpool lose the final against Madrid, once again. This facts are just since Guardiola joined Man City in 2016. In the 2016 - 2017 PL season Chelsea won the league but did not compete in that edition on the CL. For English teams it is either the Premier League or the Champions League, it is more likely for PL 2nd places and 4th places to reach the CL final and win it rather than winning the actual league. That's what I think, but I agree to disagree

For Man City (Hard): Harder in Champions league Due to reason of the African Curse because of pep talk out with yaya after he left in 2018. For Man City (Easy): 5 times winners in 4 years all thanks to pep For Liverpool (Hard): Claiming PL title is not easy because the curse of witch doctor. (But Klöpp Breaks the curse at last for 30 years) For Liverpool (Easy): beating the current champion of bundeslinga, La liga, linge 1, serie, Erediviie, primeria league (Portuguese) Scottish premiership (maybe?), RPL (Russia premier league), Belgian pro league, Süper lig, Moldovan national division, Ukrainian premier league, Swiss super League and Allsvenskan. Man Utd (hard): Ever since the unbeaten run trophy claim was stop back in 2009 and then reclaim in 2013. But in 2014 and then 2022 they Didn’t win in PL for 8 years. Man Utd (easy): N/A Chelsea (Hard): Struggle for goals and Complaining from the referee (Including Anthony taylor) for the ridiculous reasons, VAR overruled offside all times, Defensive Erros/Mistakes Chelsea (easy): Play in Defence, Tactical in lanes,

Champions league because you can learn styles of play from diffrent leagues

The Champions League is tougher. You have to get past the best teams from different countries not just one. I am Scottish. I would rather my favourite sides won a major European trophy than a domestic Scottish trophy,

Nah that Real Madrid threepeat was not poor officiating. I take offense !

The only thing people care about is that Liverpool don’t win a 2nd league trophy

Premier league has more money. Champions league is mostly fluke tournament. Premier league is really won only on skill. Yes Champions league is big name but I think Premier League means you are more skilled team over the period of 38 weeks. Not just fluke victories in 7 8 knock out round games.

Супер 👍😍

EPL is much more difficult. Currently you can't win the league with less than 90points. The points required to win is by far higher than anything we have previously seen. Liverpool and man city have set the bar high. There are many teams that weren't that good but won the ucl.

Thr champions league is way harder then the pl cuz you have to play stronger teams but in tge pl is way easyer

Premier League is a Marathon and Championship league is a sprint race..Never compare the two

Champions league is harder because the teams are playing is different styles and tactics of the leagues

Champions league because there are more team. Premier league has 20 teams

Actually it is not necessary 3 games to need to win in champions league you could win the champions league without winning any game in group stage if every game in your group is a draw and you score most goals and draw every knockout game and win every knockout round by penalty shout-out and draw final and win final by penalty shout-out you could win with 0% win rate in primer league too if every game of season was a draw and you scored the most goals the champions league is harder to win than primer league because champions league is from teams all across Europe while primer league is teams all across England

Wow

PL is harder, 'cause in champions league, as they said in the video, you can draw most of ur games and still win. If you were to draw most of your games in the premier league you would probably be close to relegation.

Champions League is luck. You need the best teams to be knocked out but you don't know. Its the unpredictability that makes it beautiful. You need 1 bad performance in Champions League and you are out. Whereas in the league you can afford to have 1 bad game and there will be games that cover the cracks for it

Pl

Is there a team that has won more champions league than top flight domestic league? This mean the champions league is harder to win.

They are harder

Champions league is harder because every team is giving their best whole the PL when you are playing the bottom half it’s not even a challenge you can destroy them if you choose man city will destroy everyone in the PL but can’t win the CL that says it all.

Champions league because there are teams that have been in the champions league before so if you play against a team that has mastered the champions league than you could get knocked out

We never see that kind of champions league dominance *coughs in FCB 2-8 FCBayern

UCL format should be like League.

Champion league is harder by far. For example premier league 100% champion league 1000%

The Champions League is only good when it gets past The round of 16 the Premier League is better because you have to be more consistent to win it because there is more games in the Premier League than in the Champions League

in english football everyone prefers the premier league thats why its the best league clubs like man city chelsea liverpool spurs arsenal west ham wants to lift the premier league but in the champions league you only have 4 teams

How is this even a question how is the EPL harder than the champions league. With that logic la liga us definitely harder than the prem.

Correction Liverpool went on a bad run in 2020-21 and didn't win the league

Premier league because there is more timers you have to win

You can win without scoring in champions league

I’m a chelsea fan and Barca didn’t even cheat to beat us. There were bad calls on both ends and iniestas goal isn’t rigged. You can’t rig goals like that, that was just magic😂🤷‍♂️. Plus chelsea weren’t winning the final anyways lmao

Nahh UCL every team play few game In EPL every team play 38 games So it's easy EPL

For Real Madrid or Bayern to win the Premier League is very difficult.

Is easier

manchestester city wowd

ucl

UCL

Ucl is way harder 😳

Just two words: :Champions League

PL

Real Madrid win yet another one

Champions league is more difficult

I think the PL is harder because you don't get second legs like the champions league

A lot more stronger teams in Champions League

for city fans the premier league is greater than the champions league just because they never won it(maybe they dont know the champions leagues is all the leagues combined)

The UCL is much harder to win

offcourse champions league is harder its a knock out competition 🙄

Pl's harder

Prem

The champion league is harder than premier league

btw i suport city

Champions

Premier league

Yeh it is champions leauge

Premier League is tougher than Champions League...for sure!

I Thank it is the Champions League

The Champions league

Firstly you're wrong it's harder to win a league let me make some valid points and you tell me if am wrong the pl consists of 38 games which is right way more game than a champion league 2 one can get a easy run to the final of the champion league the only reason why people are saying that the pl is easier is because how pep as won so many league titles before he came everyone was like the pl is the hardest and best league in the world lol smh the hypocrite in some people

Weak team: UCL easier. Strong team: PL easier
