As of late, a large number of football fanatics have come to the conclusion that the German Bundesliga has surpassed Serie A. Recently, former Juventus midfielder Diego, made the same statement. Being a die hard Italian football supporter, I raise the question, if Diego’s statement is correct, why did he play so badly during his first season in Italy? If the Italian Serie A is inferior to the Bundesliga, he shouldn’t have found any trouble on the pitch, yet most of his performances were deemed to be horrendous and mediocre. This year, there is a very tough  competition for fourth place, with Juventus, Sampdoria, Napoli, Genoa, Palermo and Fiorentina all having a huge chance of making it, maybe Fiorentina have a lesser chance of reaching fourth place as one of their top stars, Jovetic, is currently out injured and is reportedly due back in February. Moving further on top, Milan with the “fantastic four” attack, namely Pato, Ronaldinho, Robinho and Ibrahimovic have one of the most lethal attacks on the planet, baring in mind they gain their top form that is. Roma with players like Vucinic, Totti, Mexes, Boriello, Menez and De Rossi, can never be counted out of the title race, and of course there are current champions Inter who have superstars in each position, but might find it difficult to adapt to Benitez’s tactics immediately , hence making the title race very interesting. Is possibly the German Bundesliga superior to the Italian Serie A? In my opinion, certainly not!
