Bayern winning 10. The premier league having a “big six” and only 2 different teams qualifying for UCL in years (Leicester and Newcastle). La Liga being a 2 horse race with occasional atletico. Even serie A has 5-6 good teams and every one doesn’t compete. Ligue 1 is only PSG. How do fans just accept that domestic leagues have no parity? There is no feasible way anyone can ever expect Brighton to win the PL when if they have one good year, their best players are bought. Big clubs are insanely well established and small teams can’t complete without getting bought out. It seems so unfair to me. Like, I feel like if the European scene was more fair with better parity, Dortmund should’ve been able to keep Haaland and Bellingham as their 2 starlets. The best example of this is Lewandowksi at Dortmund. He wins the league with Dortmund twice, loses to Bayern in the UCL final, and then just joins the best team. That was the best move for his career. It feels like the scene is just scene so a team like Dortmund can never compete with Bayern. Or how after Real beat Atletico in 2014, Atletico’s keeper joined Real 4 years later, and now Real remains the super team with Atletico just trying to qualify for UCL knockouts.

    I guess. But, wouldn’t want the situation to changed such that all teams in Serie A split revenue equally between all 20 teams? Cuz that way, the teams at the bottom may challenge the top of the table and we’d see new teams win (not just Roma, Juve, Inter, AC, Napoli, Atalanta, etc)

      I don’t know, I don’t actually follow serie A, or big football anymore, more because i don’t like the tribalistic effect it can have on people. I prefer to follow my own town team (from Seconda Categoria, Italy has a total of 9 leagues, Seconda Categoria it’s the second last lol). Since there’s little to no money involved on it i always considered it the “real” football

      If all teams in Serie A are the same, then the teams from Serie B would have no chance of staying up after promotion. There are far more teams outside of the first league than in the top flight.

      Why should they though? Why should the popular teams share their ticket revenue, sponsorships or merchandise sales?

      That just discourages teams from actually investing in the team to improve.

      Not to mention that’d would make it near impossible for promoted Serie B teams to compete and stay up.
