📈 Power Rankings: More glory for the leaders and Barcelona are back | OneFootball

The first silverware of the season was handed out in England, while other domestic cup competitions have take centre stage across Europe.

But how has it impacted our Power Rankings?

10. RB Leipzig (🆕)

The difficult start to the season under Jesse Marsch is starting to look like a long time ago, particularly with Christopher Nkunku’s sublime form continuing.

They followed up their weekend win over Bochum with a ruthless 4-0 thrashing of Hannover in the DFB Pokal to book their place in the semi-final stage and look like big favourites to lift that trophy in May.

9. Napoli (👍 Last week: 9)

Napoli stand still after a week of mixed emotions for Luciano Spalletti’s side.

Although they were convincingly knocked out of Europe by Barcelona, they capitalised on slip-ups elsewhere to score a last gasp winner at Lazio to move clear at the top of Serie A.

8. Barcelona (🆕)

Are Barcelona back under Xavi? At the very least, they’re certainly on the right road.

They have scored four in each of their last three games, thrashing Valencia and Athletic Club either side of a superb win at Napoli in the Europa League, with their astute January arrivals all clicking.

7. Juventus (👍 Last week: 8)

The football may not always be pleasing at times but Massimiliano Allegri is getting results.

They’re unbeaten in 10 games since their Supercoppa Italiana loss, winning twice in Tuscany in the last week which included a dramatic injury-time Coppa Italia semi-final victory over Fiorentina on Dušan Vlahović’s return.

6. PSG (👎 Last week: 5)

Where would they be without Kylian Mbappé?

He was the star of the show again last weekend against Saint-Étienne as they got back to winning ways thanks to his brace firing them to a come-from-behind win.

5. Real Madrid (👍 Last week: 7)

They left it late but the Real Madrid juggernaut at the top of LaLiga continues to trundle towards the finish line.

Level until the final seven minutes at Rayo Vallecano, star man Karim Benzema rescued them to maintain their six-point lead.

4. Chelsea (👎 Last week: 3)

It’s been a hectic week at Chelsea, to say the least.

On the field, they suffered EFL Cup final disappointment in the cruellest fashion before narrowly edging past lower league Luton in the FA Cup in midweek, despite trailing twice.

3. Bayern Munich (👍 Last week: 4)

Julian Nagelsmann has had to defend himself against criticisms of his Bayern team’s style.

But they’re getting results, the latest one coming via a second half Leroy Sané winner at Eintracht Frankfurt which saw them open up an eight-point lead in their pursuit of a 10th straight title.

2. Manchester City (No change)

The Premier League leaders issued the perfect response to their unbeaten run ending at the hands of Tottenham.

They edged past Everton in controversial fashion at Goodison Park before continuing their assault on the FA Cup with a routine win over Championship outfit Peterborough on Tuesday night.

1. Liverpool (No change)

Our Power Rankings leaders have another reason to celebrate after bringing the EFL Cup back to Anfield with victory over Chelsea.

They then saw off Norwich in midweek in FA Cup action thanks to Takumi Minamino’s brace. The quadruple dream remains alive …
