Stats: Who tops the table with most points among Europe's top 5 leagues?
The English Premier League, by common consensus, is the toughest league not just in Europe but the world, with there being 4-5 teams genuinely competing for the title each and every season.
While the La Liga possibly features two of the best teams in the world in Real Madrid and Barcelona, there is a certain predictability factor to the league due to the relative lack of quality amongst the teams in the lower half of the table. It is a similar story in some of the other top leagues of Europe, with the team that ends up with the title almost being a foregone conclusion on occasions.
With that being the case, the fact that Chelsea, with 26 points, have accumulated the most points from the first 10 games of the season amongst the top 4 leagues in Europe, namely the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga and Serie A, is a remarkable achievement worthy of unconditional praise.
Juventus, who ply their trade in the Serie A, are second with 25 points from 10 games. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, meanwhile, are on top of the La Liga and Bundesliga tables, respectively, with 24 points each.
