📈 Power Rankings: A pair of new entries as PSG keep on climbing | OneFootball

We’re down to the business end of seasons across Europe with huge games at every turn.

Here’s who we think has impressed most over the last seven days.

10. Real Sociedad (🆕)

There is arguably no patchier team in Europe this season than Real Sociedad.

The Basque side have had a remarkable ability to go on winning and losing runs this term, and right now, they’re on a hot streak.

After going down to five defeats in a row in February, La Real have now won three on the bounce including this past weekend at Deportivo Alavés.

Imanol Alguacil’s side are now up to sixth in LaLiga and in the European places with eight games left of the campaign.

9. Milan (👍 Last week: 10)

Milan’s stunning back half of the season continues with the Rossoneri now unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions.

The latest win came away at Fiorentina with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Rafael Leão the heroes once again for Stefano Pioli’s side.

April couldn’t get any bigger for the San Siro side though with a Europa League quarter-final against Roma as well as Serie A clashes with Juventus and Inter.

8. Inter (👎 Last week: 7)

Inter move down a place in our rankings this week despite maintaining their 14 point lead at the top of Serie A.

The Nerazzurri beat Empoli 2-0 on Monday to put one hand on the Scudetto, but Simone Inzaghi’s side weren’t at their clinical best.

Empoli enjoyed 14 shots on the Inter goal whilst the hosts needed an 81st minute Alexis Sanchéz goal to secure the win.

7. Barcelona (👎 Last week: 4)

Barcelona huffed and puffed in their most recent win with Las Palmas, going down to 10 men and frustrating the Blaugrana for an hour.

Raphinha ended up being the hero though, with the former Leeds man scoring with only their second shot on target in the whole game.

Xavi’s side will have to find another gear though, if they’re to beat Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League and win El Clásico.

6. Liverpool (🆕)

Liverpool return to the Power Rankings having taken an advantage in the Premier League title race over the weekend.

Jürgen Klopp’s side came from behind to beat Brighton 2-1, and finished the weekend as league leaders following Manchester City’s dour draw with Arsenal.

The Reds return to the scene of their FA Cup crime this weekend however, when they take on Manchester United at Old Trafford.

If we get even half the game we saw a few weeks ago, we should be in for a classic.

5. Arsenal (👍 Last week: 6)

It’s been quite the week for Arsenal.

On Wednesday they beat Luton to return to the top of the Premier League ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Sheffield United later this evening.

And although the rest of the watching world was left bored to tears by their goalless draw at Manchester City, in the grand scheme of things, a point at the home of the champions is not to be sniffed at.

4. Manchester City (👎 Last week: 3)

The knives were out after Manchester City’s draw with Arsenal at the weekend, with Roy Keane comparing Erling Haaland to a “League Two player” whilst a certain sections of the press went after Pep Guardiola for the talking to he gave Jack Grealish on the pitch after the final whistle.

All that noise dissipated on Wednesday though, as City dismantled Aston Villa with a stunning 4-1 win.

Rodri and Phil Foden were the pick of the bunch as the English attacker scored his second hat-trick of the season, and the Spaniard maintained his 64-match unbeaten run.

3. Paris Saint-Germain (👍 Last week: 5)

Paris Saint-Germain are the biggest movers this week with the capital club winning their biggest game of the campaign and qualifying for the Coupe de France final.

On Sunday a 10-man PSG went to Marseille and found a way to get past their bitter rivals in front of a fervent atmosphere on the Cote d’Azur.

And then on Wednesday, Luis Enrique’s side edge past Rennes in the cup semi-final as Kylian Mbappé netted the only goal of the game.

2. Real Madrid (No change)

Second last week and maintaining their place in silver medal position are Real Madrid.

Jude Bellingham returned to Los Blancos’ XI this weekend after his suspension and provided an assist as Carlo Ancelotti’s side beat Athletic Club 2-0.

Rodrygo was the man who bagged both, with the Brazil international taking over the mantle of compatriot Vinicíus Jnr and maintaining the capital club’s eight point lead at the summit of LaLiga.

1. Bayer Leverkusen (No change)

And once again, it’s Bayer Leverkusen who take pole in what’s turning out to be a genuinely staggering season for Xabi Alonso and his men.

For the countless time this term, the Bundesliga champions-in-waiting came from behind to win at the weekend, with Robert Andrich and Patrik Schick scoring in the 88th and 91st minutes to beat Hoffenheim 2-1.

Die Werkself then backed that up this week as they trounced Fortuna Düsseldorf 4-0 to reach the DFB Pokal final.
