Rooting for a team really depends on personal allegiances or some moment of magic you may have seen a few years ago that sat in your mind. However, if you are looking for a team to root for major European soccer leagues then that is not very difficult. In Italy, being a fan of either Inter Milan, AC Milan or Juventus is probably a good idea as they are the three most successful teams. In England, Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal are the biggest spending teams with the most likelihood of success. Man City are a newcomer with their Arab owners, but they now have some of the best players in the world and will be a major force. United are the most successful domestic team in England and Liverpool have won 5 European Cups, more than any other team from the British isles.
In Spain, Barcelona and Real Madrid are the two teams that dominate proceedings on a yearly basis. The two make more money than anyone else, and so have the best players. Real Madrid are the most successful team in European soccer history, with 9 European Cups and more league titles than any other team in any of the major leagues. These are the teams to follow if you want to enjoy European soccer.
