Ok, I recently got into soccer/football and there is something that is confusing next how does the European leagues works. I tried reading up on it but only got more confused.
For example, I know there is La Liga and Premier League, but do they compete each against each other for a championship like the NBA? Like does Barcelona compete against manchester(I know I might sound like an idiot, but I’m really tryna understand).
Do La Liga teams only compete against other Spanish teams?
Explain to me like I’m an idiot because I am when it comes to soccer 😂 I am American
National leagues like the premier league, Bundesliga, La Liga, etc. are exclusive to their countries, so regularly, football clubs from differing countries do not compete against each other. However, the best teams of those leagues do compete in the champions league tournament to crown the best european football club. In addition to that, there’s the europa league, which ranks below the champions league and lets the clubs that didn’t quite qualify for the champions league compete. And of course there’s also the European Championship, having the european national teams compete every four years.
