From Gracenote Sports. It considers the clubs’ results over the past 4 years.

Key points:

• Real overtake Barca to become best club in Europe
• Chelsea and Napoli join the top ten
• Benifica and Arsenal sink out of the top ten
• Chelsea become England's best team (was Man City)
• England's so-called top 6 are in the Europe's top 20
• Monaco rise a huge 28 places, from 40th to 12th!

Thoughts?

Deserved, however I don't understand what did Napoli to get +233 points while Roma got +157 despite finishing above Napoli 3 out of last 4 seasons...

Goddamn, we have a long way to climb

Deserved!

Manchester United 16 (+1) :( We used to be in the five... :(

Can't argue with that!

Damn, Monaco leapfrogging teams with their +28.

7 is a lucky number . I will take it .

Monaco are sure to rise again in the future if they continue as they are!!!

I find it very impressive that somehow Athletic Bilbao is in the top 25 European clubs, they only play with their own Basque players since forever it's an insane disadvantage but they are among the top 25 clubs in Europe, just shows how much talent Spain has.

That top 5 is stable for 3 years now, looks fair rankings... if there was a European league, the top 5 imo would be the same, or maybe Chelsea of this season breaking into it somehow at Atletico expense...

4 Spanish side in top 15
4 English side in top 15
3 Italian side in top 15
2 German side in top 15
2 French side in top 15

Seriously, why does Serie A still only have 2 spot for the CL group stage and 1 for a play-off spot? So unfair. :(

I think it has to do with a fact that Sería A has only one club who are strong CL contenders and others just ride along till play offs . It is Bundesliga who actually took their 4th spot .

If AC Milan and Inter regain their places in top 3 things may start to change .
