The debate around Europe’s top leagues is heating up again, especially with English clubs dominating the biggest stages this season. In his breakdown, D Real Kombo made it clear in a video he posted on his YouTube channel that the rise of the Premier League is no coincidence, pointing directly to financial power as the driving force behind it overtaking La Liga.

he said:
naturally A lot of people right now are hyping the Premier League, and honestly, you can’t even argue against it anymore they are the number one league in the world at this moment. But let’s not pretend this just happened by magic.
There was a time when La Liga dominated everything Champions League finals, Europa League, even the Super Cup was almost always Spanish teams. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, Atlético Madrid they owned Europe. But that dominance faded, and it wasn’t by accident, it was down to poor management of the league.
Now, if you look at the Premier League, the difference is clear it’s funding. It’s resources. It’s financial power. Clubs like Arsenal, Aston Villa, even Crystal Palace are spending more than Barcelona, who are leading La Liga. That alone tells you everything you need to know. When you have money, you can attract top players, top managers, and build depth and that translates directly into performance and consistency.
On top of that, the Premier League has global appeal it’s an English-speaking league, it’s more accessible worldwide, and the entertainment level is extremely high. So everything is working in their favour. Meanwhile, La Liga is struggling with restrictions, financial limitations, and lack of flexibility. If they want to compete again, it’s simple open the league to more investment, give clubs more spending power, and let them compete in the market.
So credit to the Premier League they’ve built something powerful. And looking ahead, it’s not surprising why teams like Manchester City could continue dominating with their structure, depth, and winning mentality, while Arsenal are also in a strong position to challenge for the 2025/26 title because of their young core, smart recruitment, and steady growth under their system.
At this point, with the quality, money, and competition level, you expect Premier League clubs to keep showing up in European finals and lifting trophies.
That financial gap is now shaping not just Europe, but also the future of the league itself.
Softfootball believes this same advantage is exactly why Manchester City could win the 2025/26 Premier League. It’s not just about tactics or coaching City have the resources to build depth in every position, rotate without losing quality, and maintain high standards across a long season. When injuries come or fixtures pile up, they simply have more solutions than most teams.
At the same time, Arsenal could win the 2025/26 Premier League for a similar reason but from a growth angle. They’ve already spent big to build a competitive squad, and now they’re entering the stage where those investments are maturing. With more financial backing and the ability to keep strengthening, they are no longer chasing they are ready to compete head-on.
In simple terms, it all comes back to what D Real Kombo was saying: the league with the money controls the level. And right now, the Premier League is using that advantage to dominate both at home and in Europe.
