📈 Power Rankings: New entrant as title races tighten up | OneFootball

A lot has happened in the world of football since our last batch of Power Rankings.

And now it’s time to update our list of Europe’s top 10 most in-form club sides.

10. PSG (👎 Last week: 5)

It was going so well for PSG when they were 2-0 up and cruising against Brest on Sunday night, but a second half capitulation saw them squander two points and draw 2-2.

Luis Enrique’s side remain six points clear at the top of Ligue 1, but this was a lamentable result nontheless.

9. Juventus (👎 Last week: 8)

Another side who dropped points at the weekend were the Bianconeri, who had Arkadiusz Milik sent off after 18 minutes and could only manage a 1-1 draw with struggling Empoli.

The Serie A title race will be one to watch in the coming months, but Inter’s game in hand over Juve gives them the edge.

8. Atlético de Madrid (🆕)

Entering our rankings this week are Atlético, who made it four LaLiga victories in a row when they overcame local rivals Rayo Vallecano 3-1 in midweek.

There’s a much bigger local derby coming our way this weekend, when the Rojiblancos take on Real Madrid. If Diego Simeone’s side are going to stay in the hunt for the title, they really need to win at the Bernabéu.

7. Bayern Munich (👍 Last week: 9)

Since their shock defeat at home to Werder Bremen a couple of weeks ago, the Bundesliga Rekordmeister have picked up back-to-back victories, with the latest coming away to Augsburg in mid-week.

It keeps them right in the title picture, just two points behind…

6. Bayer Leverkusen (👎 Last week: 3)

Leverkusen remain top of the table, but a goalless draw at home to Borussia Mönchengladbach last weekend means they don’t have quite as much breathing space as they would like.

They remain unbeaten this season, and coach Xabi Alonso will hope speculation linking him with the soon-to-be-vacant Liverpool job doesn’t become a distraction.

5. Girona (👍 Last week: 7)

Despite seeing Real Madrid overtake them at the top of the LaLiga table in recent weeks, Girona aren’t ready to give up on their title dream just yet.

A 1-0 win over struggling Celta Vigo last weekend means they’re still clinging onto Madrid’s coattails, with the two clubs set to meet at the Bernabéu in just over a week’s time.

4. Manchester City (👍 Last week: 6)

The treble winners finally scored a goal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last Friday to book their spot in the FA Cup fifth round, and followed it up with a routine Premier League win over Burnley in midweek.

With Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland back fit, this is the time of the year Pep Guardiola’s side traditionally comes alive.

3. Real Madrid (👍 Last week: 4)

Shuffling up the rankings are Los Blancos, who go into this weekend’s Madrid derby having strung together six consecutive LaLiga victories.

They are top of the table and in the driving seat. When that is the case, they rarely veer off road.

2. Inter (No change)

As mentioned, Inter remain top of Serie A and have a game in hand advantage over Juventus, having narrowly overcome Fiorentina courtesy of a Lautaro Martínez goal on Sunday night.

And oh look, it’s the Derby d’Italia with Juventus this Sunday! Be sure to tune in for that one, it could have a huge say in the destination of the Scudetto.

1. Liverpool (No change)

Since our last batch of rankings, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp made the bombshell announcement that he will be leaving the club at the end of the season.

But it’s been business as usual for the Reds, with nine goals scored in their last two games, including a 4-1 thrashing of Chelsea in midweek.

It leaves them top of the Premier League and in the hunt for four trophies, which would certainly give Klopp a glorious send-off.

Sunday’s trip to face Arsenal at the Emirates will be very intriguing indeed.
