Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany insists Premier League clubs will soon again dominate Europe.
None of the country's Champions League representatives made it out of the last 16 this season.
But Kompany says that situation will not last.
"English teams have had a bit of a setback in recent years in terms of quality," he said.
"But England will catch up because they have more funds than any other country.
"Developments like the academy at City will eventually produce incredible talent. Other clubs are also spending lots of money to develop their own talent, but it does take time to come through.
"I think there will be a day when England have the best league in the world and the best national team because they will have the most money and the best facilities."
