📈 Power Rankings: UCL causes a big shuffle at the top and one new team! | OneFootball

Another week, another dose of the Power Rankings as the end of the season draws nearer …

10. SC Freiburg (🆕)

DFB Pokal finalists and European football in the bag for next season, SC Freiburg are having a sensational season. And they’re not done yet. Four games without defeat in the league, with 12 goals in those matches, have propelled them into fourth.

Christian Streich’s men are three games from a season beyond their wildest dreams.

9. Arsenal (No change)

Another close win for Arsenal as the top four race rolls on in the Premier League.

West Ham suffered the same fate as Chelsea and Manchester United as the Gunners rounded off an impressive 10 days. Two games in the next week, against Leeds and Tottenham, could see them seal a place in the Champions League after five seasons away.

8. RB Leipzig (👎 Last week: 5)

Just when Leipzig are going well — a first leg win over Rangers has Leipzig within 90 minutes of a first ever European final — another issue pops up elsewhere.

Namely in the Bundesliga, where back-to-back defeats have left them in fifth, their Champions League hopes now under threat. It’s crunch time.

7. Bayern Munich (👎 Last week: 4)

Talk about taking your eye off the ball when there’s nothing to play for, Bayern Munich were torn apart in their 3-1 defeat to Mainz at the weekend.

That ended a nine-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga but they will surely respond this weekend, even with a 10th successive title already in the bag.

6. Inter (👍 Last week: 8)

Inter quickly recovered last week to win against Udinese and keep their hopes of retaining the Serie A title alive.

That’s now five wins from six, enough to keep them just two points behind Milan with three games left to play.

5. Milan (👍 Last week: 7)

Inter won and the pressure was on Milan to respond. They just about managed to.

A second late win in a row, this one over Fiorentina, keeps them in pole position for the Scudetto.

4. Monaco (👍 Last week: 6)

Monaco’s superb charge goes on, with a seventh win in a row coming at the weekend.

The 2-0 defeat of Angers saw Wissam Ben Yedder score again — he now has six in his last six in Ligue 1 — and you wouldn’t bet against them climbing into the top three before the season ends.

3. Manchester City (👎 Last week: 2)

Champions League heartbreak once again for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City. To think there’s so little between them and Liverpool but they could end up with nothing and four trophies respectively is a bit mad but that’s the nature of the beast.

It’s a matter of fine margins at this level, but they all seem to be going against City, at least in the cup competitions.

2. Liverpool (👎 Last week: 1)

Liverpool trembled in Spain but came out of the other side feeling on top of the world having made a third Champions League final in five years.

They will end the season having played in every single game available to them, but will they finish the campaign strongly enough to win an historic quadruple?

1. Real Madrid (👍 Last week: 3)

“Another magical night for the kings of Europe.”

And that is the message the fans were displaying BEFORE the game. Having clinched the LaLiga title days earlier, Real Madrid stunned Manchester City in a rocking Bernabéu on Wednesday to make a 17th Champions League/European Cup final.

Never write them off.
