Clearly missing are Chelsea and Arsenal, but still, is this a sign of "The rich get richer?" As are missing the Italian clubs (mostly just Internazionale), but I'm going to put that down to how Italian soccer culture is, where a 1-0 victory is considered more important than a 4-3 victory.

Also note that I had to ignore Manchester City, since they haven't actually achieved anything that would make them benefit from the theory that the CL power houses keep increasing the gab with the rest of their respective leagues.

Anyway, as much as the aforementioned foursome are traditional powerhouses, this steamrolling on a regular base can't be good for those leagues, right?
