It’s not been a great start for English clubs in Europe.
And speaking on BT Sport, neither Paul Scholes nor Rio Ferdinand seemed particularly upbeat about the poor current form of Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and City.
Paul Scholes questioned whether the absolute world-class quality was there in our top sides…
“England does not have the best players in the world.” Scholes critical of the @premierleague‘s quality. #UCL http://t.co/P73yPzJzlb

Whereas Ferdinand pointed to a lack of depth, suggesting that options beyond first-team starters simply weren’t good enough…
“The English teams are way behind.” @rioferdy5 believes @premierleague clubs lack depth to compete with #UCL elite. http://t.co/QzrrunSzJz — BT Sport Football (@btsportfootball) September 30, 2015
