Champions League and EPL is where the quality is. Best players, coaches, tactics etc...
The national competitions have that patriotic pride going but they are usually not that good. Very scared, very defensive tactics. Played in the hottest conditions, players who are tired after a long club season and coaches that frankly are pretty poor and would never get a top club job (exception Conte which took a dreadful Italian team far on tactics alone.)
Plus you need a rooting interest. Who do you like?
