England's top division is streets ahead of the rest, according to 'El Nino'...
Liverpool striker Fernando Torres has revealed his belief that the Premier League is the strongest club competition in the world. Torres has taken England's top flight by storm since arriving at Anfield in 2007 from his first professional club Atletico Madrid. The Spanish international says there is no comparison between the Premier League and the Primera Division, despite the strong personnel currently plying their trade in his homeland.
"English football has an enormous following across the world, not just because of the players but because of its history, its tradition, the excitement, the capacity crowds," Torres told the club's official website.
"The other leagues can learn a lot, even La Liga. Madrid have signed Kaka and [Cristiano] Ronaldo, and Barcelona have Xavi and [Lionel] Messi but, really, the Premier League is way ahead."
