First, how would you simply rate the major European leagues if you had to list them according to overall strength?



La Liga
Bundesliga
EPL
Serie A

quote:


Second, are the two giant Spanish clubs THAT much more prestigious than any other?



Yes. Especially Real. They have won the European Cup 9 times. The only clubs on their level are Liverpool, Bayern, Man United, Barcelona, and the Milan clubs.

quote:


Last, have any teams recently risen from the ranks of being smaller clubs to "big clubs"?



Man City and Chelsea.

quote:

How often does this happen or has it been the same players for years?



Europe had much more parity ~15 years ago. I blame Arabs and Sky.



quote:

Third. What is YOUR favorite formation and what does your favorite team run?



Depends entirely on the situation.

Chelsea


quote:

Founded in 1905, they play in the Premier League and have spent most of their history in the top tier of English football. Their home ground is the 41,837-seat Stamford Bridge stadium, where they have played since their establishment. Chelsea had their first major success in 1955, when they won the league championship, and won various cup competitions during the 1960s, 1970s, 1990s and 2000s.


No.

Chelsea were shite for most of the 80s (and 90s), but they've never been a "small" club.
