Antoine Griezmann showed once again why he’s one of the very best in the world last weekend as the Frenchman netted a hat-trick in AtlĂ©tico de Madrid’s 3-0 win over Celta Vigo.

The capital club’s fine run of form was curtailed somewhat in the Champions League though, as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Celtic on Wednesday night.


9. Manchester City (🆕)

Pep Guardiola admitted over the weekend that his Manchester City side were struggling to reach the levels of last season but you wouldn’t know it by their recent run of form.

City beat Brighton in the Premier League last time out, with Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland on the scoresheet.

The Norwegian goal machine was at it again in the Champions League as well, as he bagged twice in a 3-1 win over Young Boys.


8. Paris Saint-Germain (🆕)

Paris Saint-Germain are flying at the moment with Luis Enrique’s men unbeaten in their last four Ligue 1 games and top of their Champions League group.

This past weekend saw Les Parisien beat Strasbourg domestically and they then backed that victory up with a fine 3-0 win over Milan.


7. VfB Stuttgart (👍 Last week: 9)

It would be unfair to call Stuttgart a one-man team, but in Serhou Guirassy, the Roten have perhaps the best striker in Europe right now

Guirassy has scored an astonishing 14 goals so far this season with his latest strike coming this past weekend as Sebastian Hoeneß’s side beat Union Berlin in the capital.

Stuttgart are now second in the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich to come in the next few weeks.


6. Bayern Munich (👎 Last week: 5)

Bayern Munich keep on winning but it’s hard to shake the feeling that things could be better at the Allianz Arena.

The reigning champions did impress away at Mainz on Saturday as Harry Kane scored again in a 3-1 win.

And the Englishman repeated his trick at Galatasaray in the Champions League as Bayern won in Istanbul.

But despite the victories, Thomas Tuchel’s side still look a long way off their best.


5. Inter (👍 Last week: 6)

Inter remain top of Serie A and look on course for Champions League qualification after a pair of resounding wins this week.

It started with a 3-0 win away at Torino which showed all the hallmarks of a Scudetto-winning outfit.

Then the Nerazzurri welcomed Salzburg to the San Siro and dispatched the Austrians thanks to goals from Alexis Sanchez and Hakan Calhanoglu.


4. Real Madrid (👎 Last week: 2)

Carlo Ancelotti was critical of the referee but Real Madrid will need to be much better than they were against Sevilla if they’re going to compete for the biggest trophies this season.

Los Blancos were held to a 1-1 draw in Andalusia as their lead at the top of LaLiga was cut to goal difference.

The Champions League was a different matter though, as Jude Bellingham starred once again in a 2-1 win over Braga.


3. Barcelona (👍Last Week: 4)

Barcelona seem to be clicking into gear and it’s their youngsters who are doing most of the heavy lifting.

The Blaugrana went to Athletic on the weekend and came away with a 1-0 win thanks to a late strike from debutant Marc Guiu.

Xavi’s side then did the business over Shakhtar Donetsk in Europe as Fermin Lopez’s rocket secured a 2-1 victory.


2. Tottenham (👍Last Week: 3)

It was a record-breaking week for Ange Postecoglu and Tottenham.

The north London side won against Fulham on Monday with their Australian boss claiming 23 points in his first nine games as a Premier League manager.

No single coach has ever achieved such a feat and with a lack of European football to contend with, Spurs look like they could just go all the way this term.


1. Bayer Leverkusen (No change)

Xabi Alonso’s sit top of our rankings and for good reason.

There is, quite simply, no better side in Europe right now than Bayer Leverkusen with the Werkself winning once again this past weekend.

Leverkusen went to Wolfsburg and looked every inch a championship-winning side as Jeremie Frimpong and Alex Grimaldo secured the three points.

That Borussia Dortmund clash on December 3 looks more intriguing by the minute.
