More Champions League games, a lot more domestic fixtures, and still nobody can touch Manchester City at the top.

Here are our latest rankings of the top 10 teams in Europe

10. Barcelona (👎 Last week: 9)

Like Madrid, Barcelona aren’t convincing, but they aren’t going away. Talent does help and they’re now 14 without defeat in LaLiga.

Are they winning enough? Barely. Are they playing well enough? Not really. But the results are still there.


9. Real Madrid (🆕)

Real Madrid are not convincing us with their performances either. Let’s just put that out there. Lyon, Lille, Leicester, West Ham and maybe Juventus all could’ve been here in the top 10 instead.

The problem is, convincing or not, Madrid just keep winning. They’re cranking up the pressure on AtlĂ©tico and took a narrow lead in their Champions League round of 16 tie on Wednesday.


8. Monaco (🆕)

Do we have a four-way title race in Ligue 1? Monaco are now unbeaten in 11, having won nine of those and scoring in all of them.

That defeat of PSG was no accident. Niko Kovač’s side have hit their stride and they’re ones to watch.


7. PSG (👎 Last week: 2)

We just can’t figure PSG out. One week they’re ripping it up at Camp Nou, the next they’re being brushed aside by Monaco. And at the end of it all they’re still in the  thick of things in the Ligue 1 title race.

There are signs Mauricio Pochettino is having an impact, but it might be happening too slowly for them to win the league.


6. Sevilla (👍 Last week: 7)

So that defeat to Borussia Dortmund really was just a blip. As Atlético continue to slip, Sevilla keep winning.

It’s six in a row in LaLiga now and a win in their game in hand would send them back above Barcelona. This run of form is no mishap.


5. Bayern Munich (👎 Last week: 4)

They’re up and they’re down. On Saturday, Bayern drop points again (for the second time in five days) to give others hope in the Bundesliga title race.

But they quickly recovered from defeat at Frankfurt to drop a superb performance in the Champions League and leave Rome having beaten Lazio 4-1 in the last 16 first leg.


4. Chelsea (👍 Last week: 10)

Thomas Tuchel is doing a lot right, isn’t he? Chelsea dropped their first points for a few games on Saturday but bounced back to beat AtlĂ©tico Madrid in the Champions League.

The Blues have now drawn two, won six, and conceded just twice since the German took over.


3. Eintracht Frankfurt (👍 Last week: 6)

We’ve been telling you for weeks to keep an eye on Frankfurt — they weren’t here by accident!

But last week their fine form faced its biggest test: Bayern Munich. The result? A fifth win in a row, an 11th Bundesliga outing without defeat, and one big step closer to Champions League fooball.


2. Inter (👍 Last week: 3)

That derby performance? Wow. Inter were superb to a man, they deserved their 3-0 win, and four victories in a row means they’re now four points clear.

Antonio Conte’s side have looked great for weeks and are now firmly in the driving seat in the Serie A title race. With arguably the best front two in Europe.


1. Manchester City (👌 Last week: 1)

They won, again. Twice. They’re top, again. It’s now 19 victories in a row for Pep Guardiola’s side.

Can anyone stop them?
