Former Manchester United manager David Moyes has described this season's Premier League as the poorest that he has seen "in a long time".

English teams have struggled in Europe this term, with the quarter-finals of both the Champions League and Europa League bereft of a single Premier League club.

Meanwhile three clubs from Spain have reached the last eight of football's biggest club competition, while Sevilla remain in the Europa League.

Moyes told BBC Sport: "Maybe we have talked up the Premier League more than we should.

"Atletico [Madrid] have had financial difficulties over the years but they have still reached finals. Valencia, Villarreal, they have have got quite far in the Europa League.

"So maybe we do go over the top about our league. This year it is probably the poorest Premier League I've seen in a long time."

Real Madrid and Sevilla are the current Champions League and Europa League holders respectively.
