So is English football really the best in the world? I pose that question because I tend to think that it is, and that view is shared by so many in this country.
However, if indeed Chelsea are the best team in England at the moment, and five wins out of five in the Premier League would seem to indicate that fact as they sit at the top of the table, then the question should really be ...
Are we actually deluding ourselves?
Three teams in the semi-finals, four teams in the last eight, two teams in the final; we've managed it in recent years, but this season is the acid test.
The balance of power has shifted back to Spain, where Real Madrid's £220 million summer spending spree will provide champions Barcelona with a real challenge.
After winning Euro 2008, Spain has suddenly risen at both international as well as club level to have every right to say it has usurped England's claim to possess the best league in the world. It is a tough call. This season could be decisive, notably with a World Cup at the end of it.
