Why do we not have drama in top European leagues anymore?
Title battles seem to have been much more intense across Europe in the last decade. In the past few years, we haven’t had the opportunity to enjoy big battles for domestic thrones. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule such as the battle between Liverpool and Manchester City for the Premier League supremacy in 2019, but these are rare occasions. We do miss the uncertainty, the tension, the battles until the very last kick of the season. We miss the goosebumps caused by Sergio Aguero’s goal in Manchester City's title-winning comeback against Queens Park Rangers at Etihad. We miss the good old El Clasicos with an electrifying atmosphere both on and off stadiums.
The list goes on and on but we need to address the source. Why is football no longer as exciting as it was in the near past?
“While we can discuss it for days, the most accurate answer probably is money,” said John Pentin, football expert of Bettingtips4you. “Whether we like it or not, football has gone beyond the boundaries of a game (which it essentially is). It is more and more focused on money-making, entertainment, and a way for popular and rich businessmen to succeed.”
