I completely disagree. The Italians have greatly improved and while the Spanish and English league have good teams at the top the rest of their league is absolutely horrible and can't even begin to challenge in a competition.The Italians give all those teams a run for their money and can beat them at full strength. The main problem is that in Italy even the lower-rated teams are good. This means that many teams drop the ball in European competitions because your main focus almost always has to be on the domestic competitions because if you lose focus there are middle-ranked teams like Sassuolo, Sampdoria, Udinese, and genoa who are able to take your place. As a result, their performance in European competitions is often poor because unlike the other big leagues the standard is overall higher.They do have a problem with money. It is a lower funded league but they tend to be able to do more with less and the funding has been increasing with the cubs better performance.I think the recent rise can be attributed to two main things. Firstly the success of Juventus has allowed for bigger players to join the Italian league as it is more appealing. This has brought in fans from around the world allowing it to grow. Secondly, they have no longer been overlooked by FIFA. In previous years they only had 3 champions league spots despite being a bigger league than the german league internationally and were underrated in Fifa games with very low salaries while other leagues had ridiculously high ones. However this has slowly been changing with teams like Juventus, Inter, Roma, Napoli, Milan, and Lazio all having their funds increased.n teams players have A lot of problems in the types of players have been fixed as of late. Juventus is world class. Inter, Napoli , Milan and lazio all have teams with world-class players like Icardi,skrinia,naingollan,koullibally,insigne,romangoli and milinkovic-savic and more.While Atalanta and Torino have risen with homemade stars aand players to claim european spotsOverall though it is a cycle the Italian league was huge in the '90s and early 2000s before the English, Spanish and german took over. The French league has never been able to do much and I think if the Italian league continues on its the current path it will reclaim those glory days
