I feel like the gap between Belgium/Portugal/Netherlands isn’t really that big. Portugal and Netherlands have a stronger 'big 3", but Belgium has the stronger league on average with more teams capable of competing in Europe.
That, and Belgium has historically always been a top 10 ( even top 5 at times ) league.

Honestly…Should be top 8 leagues, imo.
