English clubs are resurgent in Europe and looking stronger than they have for several years. There is a real chance that one of them could win the Champions League this season.
What really struck me this week was how no one seemed able to get the ball off the English teams. Even away from home, Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City were dominant in possession.
Liverpool had 55 per cent of the ball in Porto, Tottenham 67 per cent at Juventus and City almost three-quarters of possession in Basle.
The fact that Liverpool, who are 18 points behind City in the league, were able to win so comfortably away from home will be worrying for the rest of Europe.
