📈 Power Rankings: Man Utd tumble, three entries and new leaders! | OneFootball

It’s that time of the week again. Here are the latest OneFootball Power Rankings.

10. Benfica (🆕)

The end of March saw Benfica’s lead at the top of the Primeira Liga extended, then the start of March saw then breeze into the Champions League quarter-finals.

Now eight points clear domestically with seven wins in a row, they have the best attack and the best defence in Portugal. Champions League dark horses?

9. Juventus (👎 Last week: 8)

Serie A highlights available in UK and Ireland only

Defeat last weekend ended a four-game winning run in Serie A but there was no shame in losing to Roma, and Juventus are still on course to correct what was looking like a disastrous season.

Top four may be a long way off right now but they can clearly put winning runs together to usurp inconsistent opponents. Plus, they could put one foot in the Europa League quarter-finals with a strong showing against Freiburg on Thursday.

8. Manchester United (👎 Last week: 1)

That 7-0 defeat at Anfield means a huge drop.

What else can we say? That result speaks for itself and Manchester United will be under huge pressure to recover immediately.

7. Liverpool (🆕)

On the other end of that 7-0, Liverpool had a weekend to remember. And it has been more than just that lately for the Reds.

That Anfield drubbing also marked a fifth consecutive clean sheet in the Premier League, with Liverpool winning four of those games. Now up to fifth, they’re just three points behind Tottenham with a game in hand. What crisis?

6. Borussia Dortmund (👎 Last week: 3)

There were signs on Friday, as they clung to a lead at home against RB Leipzig, that Borussia Dortmund’s winning run would soon come to an end. They saw that one over the line to make it 10 in a row but could not get going at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.

A 2-0 defeat at out-of-form Chelsea sent Dortmund out of the Champions League and burst the bubble ahead of Saturday’s massive derby with in-form Schalke.

5. Manchester City (🆕)

Manchester City have quietly been doing well lately. That draw at Nottingham Forest was a blow, and the 1-1 with RB Leipzig a few days later was a real game of two halves but City are now seven unbeaten in all competitions.

In fact, they’ve won eight of their last 11, losing just once, and that’s with Erling Haaland netting just twice in his last eight appearances. Maybe they aren’t struggling as much as people seem to think?

4. Barcelona (👍 Last week: 5)

LaLiga highlights available in UK and Ireland only

A Copa del Rey win over Real Madrid and a LaLiga win over Valencia have put Barcelona back on track in the two competitions they remain in this season.

The injuries have piled up lately and there was always going to be some sort of dip in performances but Xavi’s side seem to have found the right response and are now nine points clear at the top of LaLiga.

3. Napoli (👎 Last week: 2)

Serie A highlights available in UK and Ireland only

A rare Napoli loss at the hands of Lazio on Friday was a small shock, especially in terms of performance. It was just the third Serie A match all season the league leaders have failed to score in and only the fourth time they have failed to win.

A 15-point lead looks unassailable, but they will want to keep things that way to avoid any run-in nerves and still need to stay sharp to make a deep Champions League run.

2. Arsenal (👍 Last week: 4)

Got your breath back yet, Arsenal fans?

That dramatic Reiss Nelson winner on Saturday made it four wins in a row to keep the Gunners five points clear at the top of the Premier League. You can’t argue with that.

1. Bayern Munich (👍 Last week: 6)

Every time Bayern are accused of wobbling, they hit back in style.

Four wins from five Bundesliga games has kept them top of the table (an early red card was their biggest issue in the match they didn’t win) and they dispatched of PSG, home and away, with minimal fuss.

Thank you, next.
