Nah, the Premier League is a tougher title to win. Hence the fact that only five different teams have won it during its era. The Champion's League involves beating/drawing a stretch of good teams. Not to mention the group stage is usually very kind to most of the big league clubs.

Well it obviously depends on the group they would draw

They won their group 2 years ago though so I'm gonna say yes

Why not? Spurs made it to the quarterfinals in 2011.

Then why doesn't the EPL champion win it every year?


Takes depth and luck to win CL.
