Chelsea legend Ruud Gullit has had a pop at English clubs' performances in Europe.

Gullit says the Premier League's top sides have been sussed out by their European rivals and that's why they hardly caused a ripple in this season's competition.

He told the Daily Star: "The English teams must understand that the rest of Europe is not sleeping. They want to improve. I wouldn't say you have got complacent, I just think the others have learned.

"That's what happens to every club. Look at Barcelona, they had a few years and all of a sudden people suss you out and you need to do something different.

"And this is the same thing with the English teams. The others think about it. The English teams' performance in the Champions League was very surprising.

"The biggest surprise was Manchester City, that they couldn't get through while, for instance, PSG, they did the same in one year and they got through. Why is that?

"They also had a lot of players and foreigners, spent a lot buying players, but at least they went through to the last stages.

"England have to think about how to deal with this because I am a fan of the English league but you haven't been good enough for a couple of years now."
