The Best League in the Land
Or at least the one with the best top portion. All four of the English Premier League teams in the Champions League have advanced to the Quarterfinals of the event. It marks the first time four teams from one country have made the final eight.
I'm not positive that the bottom of the EPL could compete with those teams at the bottom of the table in other leagues (Derby would struggle in the A-League, I think), but when you see that a team that isn't even in the CL beat Chelsea to win a domestic cup, that shows that there is some quality outside the Big Four as well.
