Just like with Brexit, the English can't seem to get out of Europe —yet it was very different just four years ago
While Brexit looms large over the country, Britain's Premier League is doing its best to dominate Europe with a remarkable turnaround in fortunes in the Champions League .
The big question being asked now is why has there been a resurgence of English football, overtaking the recent dominance of Spanish teams in the Champions League.They have undoubtedly pushed the barriers of success with a record-breaking Premier League season last year — biggest points tally ever, most wins, most consecutive wins and biggest title winning margin.
Liverpool were City’s conquerers in the last-eight a year ago and became the first club to break the £100m barrier in profit terms after going on to make the Champions League Final. Tottenham nearly went out in the group stages after taking one point from the first three games, but got an away draw with Barcelona to qualify before thrashing then-Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund 4-0 on aggregate.
