The Champions League is more attacking and more creative and the Premier League is more basic, more hard work and perseverance.
So what I did say was in the Champions League, teams are much more open.
They all try to play.
It's less transitional in the Premier League.
It's more physical than I've ever known it to be.
It's like a basketball game sometimes.
It's so relentless physically.
There's not much control.
It's just a run-in game.
Sometimes it's about duels.
Who wins the duels wins the game or moments.
The Champions League is a bit more of an older style of game.
It's a bit more football-based.
Teams come and try to play proper football.
But, yeah.
Well, it's a farmer's league is what they say.
Five Premier League teams in a base, isn't it?
And Newcastle have Carabao, so six will probably be in the last 16.
So money is one thing, squads, but the physicality, is the Premier League ahead of the curve here?
So the Premier League, now you're seeing a lot more long through set pieces become a bit slower, a lot more set pieces.
