Barcelona has more silverware than Liverpool. They are a more succesful club than your precious Liverpool. Why only compare those two competitions?
The most evident one being Barcelona finishing second in the league 22 times compared to Liverpool 11 times. LoL
Must be sad for Pool supporters to watch their team fail every single year in the local league.
Smokey is correct - Chelsea were not a poor team before Roman.
This is probably due to the English League being more competitive than the Spanish League.
Let's look at some stats:
Spanish sides that have won the European Cup - 2, Real Madrid (9) and Barcelona (2).
English sides that have won the European Cup - 4, Liverpool (5), Manchester United (3), Nottingham Forest (2) and Aston Villa (1).
Spanish sides that have won the Spanish Top Division - 9
English sides that have won the English Top Division - 23
Compelling evidence, no?
