Bayern München's Javi Martinez says he believes the Bundesliga is among the top leagues of the world along with the English Premier League and the Spanish La Liga.

"For me, the Bundesliga is one of the top three leagues in the world along with the English league and the Spanish league," Javi Martinez said in an interview with Playboy.

When asked what he believes makes the Bundesliga so great, the Spanish international responded:

"The quality of the football, the full stadiums, the great fans and the atmosphere. I think the most important thing in football is the fans, and here, the stadiums are always full. That's not the case everywhere."

Javi Martinez, 30, joined Bayern München from La Liga side Athletic Club in 2012.
