Great news, everyone. European football is back. After two days of watching the boring Champions League, the world finally gets what it deserves in the Europa League.
And guess what? Spurs play today! Against Frankfurt! What luck.
To celebrate the Europa League, let’s take a brief look at a few leagues across Europe.
Bundesliga:
This is Bayern’s title to lose, being six points clear of Bayer Leverkusen. And Harry Kane is top of the league with 23 goals scored. Could this be a first domestic title for our hometown hero? Let’s hope so!
Campionato Sammarinese di Calcio:
I know nothing about the San Marino football league, but I do know Virtus are in first with 72 points. Looking for Tre Fiori? They’re in third at 52 points.
Belgian Super League:
We’re in the second phase now, and Genk are top of the table at 40 points. It isn’t as exciting as the San Marino League. And how could it be when Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld and Vincent Jannsen aren’t competing for the title?
The rest:
What else is there to say? Inter are top in Serie A, Barca are top in La Liga and Copenhagen are first in the Danish Superliga.
