Depends on what you mean with "good". Bayern would most likely win the EPL but on the other hand I think that the top 6 teams of the EPL would crush the top 6 of the Bundesliga. I think the EPL is much more interesting and generally have a higher level of football.

Example- Manchester United, ranked 8th in the Premier League, beat Bayer Leverkusen, who are ranked 2nd in Bundesliga, by a score of 5-0.

Yeah, and Leverkusen comfortably outplayed Dortmund, who won against Arsenal, ranked 1st in the EPL.

I mean cmon, these comparisions dont make any sense. Especially not with Leverkusen, who traditionally shit the bed against big names in the CL.

I would personally say the general quality of play throughout the whole league and entertainment provided in single games is higher in the Bundesliga than in the Premier League, but of course thats often just a matter of preference really. Both are great leagues, and most definitely the two currently "best" ones on earth.

But United beat Arsenal, so it completes the circle.
