      I don’t really know what it means tbh. The 6th biggest league in Europe is probably 2. Bundesliga or English Championship, looking at clubs’ facilities, signings, revenues. Of course those teams don’t compete in Europe, but that’s the system in Europe, not the league. The highest revenue top-flight competition after France was Russia, now it’s probably not so it’s Turkey. In terms of sport results and famous clubs, the big one in Europe is Portugal, but Dutch clubs had some good results in UEFA competitions in recent years.

      There are also several non-European leagues that are smaller in revenue than France but bigger than any other European top-flight - actually six of them by most recent data - so hard to say which two would be in the “7”.

      All in all I don’t know what people mean saying “top 7”, but seeing the publication is German I assume Western European ones.
