The most iconic players of world football and the GOAT level players have not played in premier league or are not playing in the premier league CR7 also moved away from prem to join real Madrid , So I think that the world beaters are playing in real Madrid and barcelona and it has always been like that If young leo would be playing in the premier league he will break the records of all the prem legends left ,right and center and over shadow everyone. Remeber that he had 103 of GA in 2012/13 season 91 goals in a calender year which was more than any club's goals in their respective leagues. So I am sure that he would have flipped the premier league upside down.
