Did Barca prove that the Premiership is a week League

Jus wondered what peoples thoughts were on the Premiership in light of Barca going through last night. The often self procalimed "best league in the world" might not actually have any teams in the quater finals of the Champions League.

It's fair to say that Chelsea are head and shoulders are pretty much above everyone else at the moment in the prermiership. What does that say about the Premier League if the team who are "best" can't make it to the quater finals ??

It can be argued that the Special One isnt that special and he got his tactics completely wrong over the two legs. Granted they had a player sent off but to be fair Chelsea had the best part of one and a half games to win it after the sending off

I don't think any league can boast a really strong all round league. However there are a core of 4-5 good teams in Spain, Italy and England and maybe two to three good teams in Holland, Germany etc. I just don't place the Premiership at the top of that list

As Josè pointed out, Barca have never beated Chelsea when its 11v11.
That alone hardly proves that LaLiga is better.
Plus, LaLiga isnt the best anyway according to Opta.

Arsenal Didnt score against UTD in 120 minutes in last years cup final but yet they still went home with the cup.

Tenuous to say the least on behalf of JM
