So which league do you think is the strongest in Europe? I think it's between La Liga and EPL.

In my opinion, La Liga is the strongest. The strength of the midtable of La Liga and lower tables has no comparison. And the margin in meetings between top sides of La Liga and EPL have proven very, very small and can go either way.

I dont want to hear about single La Liga players failure in EPL as an example, because in my opinion many EPL coaches have proven tactically naive when it comes to handling many La Liga players - playing born wingers on LM/RM positions, AM's on CM.

It depends how you look at it, which can be done in many ways. EPL does have more money in it, that's a fact, but does that make it better? no way. I'm not a huge follower of la Liga but isn't it more technique based whereas here its more athlete/strength based if you know what I mean. Apart of it comes down to personal preference as they are both pretty strong, mid table La Liga may well be stronger, but we have the top 4, 3 of which go to the semi finals of the CL last year (yes i know I'm singling out statistics it's just an example)

Could you specify what you think constitutes as the best league and discussion would be much clearer.

well, CL and the UEFA cup count for a lot of course - but added to that, you would also have to look at the competitiveness of the league to determine how good it is. And there is also the matter of which team you are drawn against, if the best teams of that league at the time really participated in CL. And a number of other small things.

If you look at the current La Liga sides participating in champions league: Valencia, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla. I can say at the moment Valencia have no business playing in the CL, they are lucky to be as high up the tables as they are(6th place)
