The new season of the Bundesliga has started and in a few weeks the European challenges are going to start, the champions-league and the European league. The European competitions have a big standing in Europe and decide which team is the best in Europe. But it is quite difficult to compare the leagues and their teams, some are successful because of a rich owner and others have a good business situation.
In the following essay I will give you the answer to the question why the German Bundesliga is the best football league in the world and why clubs and leagues in other European countries are in a financial quagmire. My facts to support the thesis are the financial situation of the European leagues, the fan situation in the stadiums, the plan of the Uefa to integrate the financial fair play and the future of the German Bundesliga.
