Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas says he still loves the Premier League.
Fabregas recognises how the English game helped Spain win Euro 2008, their first big tournament success.
"We had me, Xabi Alonso, Fernando Torres and Pepe Reina in that side," Cesc told the Daily Mail.
"More Spanish players are going to play in England. They learn different things and bring those back to the national team.
"The English league is more difficult to win. On an individual level, it is easier to shine in England. There is more space.
"In England, the full backs bomb forward and the crowd noise gets louder. It motivates you but it means you lose control of the game. In Spain, you play against a team with two sitting midfielders.
"If I see a match in England - and I don't miss any of Arsenal's games - I enjoy it. The English league as a spectacle... there is nothing better."
