European Power Rankings
Dynastian98 11 years ago
Real Madrid 483 7140

Here is something I decided I shall do myself (after reading a few articles here and there). I'll do a power ranking of the top 5-10 clubs in Europe. Naturally, it is only MY opinion, so if your opinion differs, feel free to comment where and why you disagree. With all due respect, have fun guys. :)


1. Bayern Munchen

Who else would it be? The reigning German and European champions have strengthened their squad with additions like Thiago Alcantara, Mario Gotze, and young Jan Kirchhoff, which essentially strengthens their defense, and already stacked midfield. Boasting stars like Ribery, Robben, Schweinsteiger, Neuer, Lahm, and many more players in their prime, and many young and promising players as well (Thiago, Kroos, Shaqiri, Kirchhoff, Gotze, Alaba, etc.), Bayern have the deadliest squad in the world. Expect big things from them next season as they'll be hungry for more.

2. Real Madrid

With new young signings Isco, Illara, Carvajal, and Casemiro, Real look keen on replacing that long-lost Spanish roster they were so proud of boasting. Perhaps not a "Galactico" project, but more a "Quinta del Buitre" kind of project. Already boasting world-class names like Ronaldo, Casillas, Ramos, and Ozil, Real seem eager to forget those locker room problems they had with Mourinho present, by bringing in a more introvert manager in Ancelotti, and assigning Zinedine Zidane as his assistant manager. Real will be eager to improve on last years results, as they fell short of the title to Barcelona, the Copa del Rey to Atletico, and missed out on the CL final on a shoestring to Dortmund (4-3).

3. Borussia Dortmund

Losing Mario Gotze may be a huge blow, but watch out, Jurgen Klopp is much more clever than he seems. By signing Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan, Dortmund have essentially signed two players who can play in all four positions up in attack. Mkhitaryan can cover for RW and AM, and Aubameyang for ST and LW. Not to mention that they already have Kuba and Grosskreutz able to cover in wing, and an extremely versatile Marco Reus. They also brought in Sokratis as a replacement for Felipe Santana, which is an extremely intelligent buy from Klopp. Gundogan, Lewndowski, and Hummels and co. may look as outsiders to the world after losing out Gotze, but one thing that Dortmund boast that Pep may have trouble handling in Bayern is that Dortmund are a TEAM.

4. Chelsea

Chelsea FC have confirmed the return of the "Happy One", and that in and of itself is one of the signings of the season. Jose Mourinho has inherited, what may possibly be, a better squad than he himself had built together the last time he was here. With the big boys in Lampard, Cole, Cech, Terry, and Essien, Mou has plenty of experience in his roster. Talents like Mata, Hazard, Oscar, De Bruyne, Schurrle, Lukaku, and Fernando Torres make Chelsea's firepower all that more terrifying. It may have took them a Herculean effort to win the Champions League in 2012, but expect them to go past teams with ease now that Mourinho is back.

5. Paris Saint-Germain

PSG have confirmed the signing of one of the best strikers in the world in Edinson Cavani. The Uruguayan monster will undoubtedly add more firepower to their already stacked squad. Barely losing out to Barcelona in the Champions League last season (away goals), PSG look to be eager to build themselves not just a good squad, but a good TEAM. Losing Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva may be a huge setback, but those two haven't left the French capital yet, and that's what counts. The reigning French champions will be a deadly force in Europe next season.

You have a very legitimate point. And I agree with you, Pique is overrated (not as much as Valdes, though). Barca need to sign a quality center back, I agree. But Real Madrid also need to find that ruthlessness that sees them drop less points against smaller oppositions.

@TheGame

I'm totally with you there. Madrid get arrogant and cocky against "weaker" sides, which cost us points dearly last season. But what also cost us points was having our entire back line injured or missing for more than 4 months. It was disastrous. The only time we got our full defense healthy again was at the end of the season, where we did well again. The moment our back line is forced to change again, we let in 4 goals to Dortmund (Pepe let in 3 of them).

So yeah, if we get more serious as to beating the sides that we SHOULD beat (like 2011-12), we could be back to our best. :)
