Liverpool striker Fernando Torres has stated that the Premier League is still the most competitive league in the world.
Premier League champions Manchester United were beaten in the Champions League final by Spanish Primera Division champions Barcelona on Wednesday, leading many to question the dominance of the English league.
However, Torres feels England's top flight is the world's toughest league, with all clubs capable of beating each other.
The former Atletico Madrid player has also stated that since his move from his homeland, he has developed as a player, and feels the Premier League has had a lot to do with that.
The Spain international believes that players in Britain are becoming stronger, and feels that more players are moving to England.
Speaking to Liverpool's official website, Torres said, "It is difficult to say which league is better, but the Premier League is more competitive because the British are becoming stronger and players are coming to England."
The 25-year-old also said that the English league has greatly improved him as a player.
"I have improved a lot," he continued. "I managed to score more goals than any other foreigner in his first year in the Premier League and was third in the Golden Ball."
Torres moved to Anfield in 2007, and has since made 83 appearances for the club, scoring 50 goals.
