re: UEFA President went there

The top teams in other countries spend just as much as the prem, they just spend it terribly.

Juventus wage bill would be the 2nd highest in the prem.
Bayern, Madrid, Barca all have wages bills higher than anyone in the premier league.

La Liga in particular have allowed tv deals that don't allow for their middle clubs to progress because it's so weighted to wards the big 2/3. Maybe they should fix their own house first?
Perhaps they should fix the issues they all have with attendances neither Spain or Italy have more than 8 clubs averaging over 30,000 a game, the prem has 15. As many as them both combined

Premier League is responsible for only 5 of the 15 €100m transfer fees
The premier leagues smallest wage bill (Brentford, £15m) is smaller than Serie As (Cremonese 17m) and only 500k more than La Ligas (Almeria).500k more than Budesliga(Bochum)
