There are 6-8 teams that are all extremely competent and close in terms of ability, and I believe that each year it's becoming more balanced. La Liga has been dominated by Real and Barca for years, with Atleti becoming more competitive very recently - maybe Valencia too. The Bundesliga is a brilliant league, but I do feel that the fact that Bayern overall supremacy damages the quality of the league - I really do feel sorry for BvB Dortmund. Wolfsburg, Leverkusen and Monchengladbach are far inferior to Bayern.

I believe that though the best teams currently in the EPL can't compete with the best around Europe, the balance and competitive nature of the league makes it the best to watch.
