"I don't think there is a big difference. Everyone knows that there is much more money in the Premier League. All the clubs participating in this competition can buy players for 30 million euros. Yes, this is the difference. But when it comes to quality, I don't really agree, I think La Liga has extraordinary players.

The atmosphere here is incredible. The atmosphere in England is also very good. I don't want to say anything bad about the Premier League because it's a great league, great fans. But if people watched La Liga more, they would realise that it is an incredible competition, just like the fans. If you play against Osasuna, you see their fans cheering like crazy. Or in Cadiz. And when we play at home, the fans behind the goal don't stop singing... It's great," Noticias de Gipuzkoa quoted Tierney as saying.
