European Power Rankings


~~UPDATE~~







It's official, CFR Cluj are better than European champions Manchester United. Well, at least they are according to the first edition of our European Power Rankings.

Cluj kicked off their Champions League campaign with a shock victory over Roma and, coupled with their domestic form, that win sees the Romanian side enter the fledgling European Power Rankings table in an impressive ninth place. That is 12 rungs higher up the ladder than United, whose poor start to the season means they don't even make it into the top 20.

At the top of the table, Italian giants Internazionale and Juventus set the pace, although Premier League duo Chelsea and Liverpool are hot on their tails. Both Madrid clubs follow in fifth and sixth while Porto and Bayern Munich - despite their thumping by Werder Bremen at the weekend - occupy seventh and eighth. Completing the top 10, just below Cluj, are Barcelona.

Premier League leaders Arsenal weigh in at 13th after dropping points in their Champions League opener against Dynamo Kiev, but it has been a good start for European minnows Anorthosis Famagusta, who are a place ahead of Arsene Wenger's side.

Celtic may have only drawn against Aalborg, but their Scottish Premier League form - 13 points from six games - elevates them into 17th, ahead of such luminaries of European football as Sporting Lisbon, Bremen and Fiorentina. And, of course, United.



1. Internazionale - 26.67

2. Juventus - 26.67

3. Chelsea - 26.00

4. Liverpool - 26.00

5. Atletico Madrid - 25.00

~~TOP UPDATE~~







Liverpool have stormed to the top of the fledgling Power Rankings but a hefty Spanish contingent are hot on the Reds' heels.

A Merseyside derby win, swiftly followed by a comfortable Champions League victory over PSV Eindhoven, has seen Liverpool jump three places to claim top spot in our table of Europe's finest.

But it was not such a good week for Chelsea - at least on the European front - with the Blues slipping to seventh after their draw against minnows Cluj. Meanwhile Arsenal's fine display against Porto erased memories of their shock Premier League defeat to Hull City and sent them rising five places to eighth, level with Italian champions Internazionale.

This week's biggest climbers - to quote 'Prince of Pop' Paul Gambaccini - are the increasingly impressive Villarreal whose wins over Celtic and Sporting Gijon were enough to send them up from 15th to fifth, just behind fellow Spanish sides Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

A special mention for Anorthosis Famagusta now; the Cypriot side have broken into the top 10 for the first time after registering a maiden Champions League victory over Panathinaikos while maintaining their 100 per cent domestic record.


And finally, European champions Manchester United have made their inevitable return to the top 20, entering at 11 after wins over Bolton and AaB Aalborg.



1. (4) Liverpool - 26.67

Lots of turn arounds, and new teams on new places, but is normal cuz is only the beginning of the season.

Finally United enters the top.

Don't worry man, we'll be back on the 1st place very soon. I think CFR should have much more points. They've had very tough games: vs Roma and Chelsea.

[JamesRoyale]

yeah it seems harsh to move them down so much becuase of that.

i see liverpool and athletico both going through, as both are 6 points up on the other two. it will be fun to see them square up together and see two of the best strikers in the world in torres and aguero go face to face.

[funkdoctorspock]

11th?


After a draw and a win?

No respect I tell yuh. No respect...

EDIT: forgot this includes league play... What Torque said.

I would bet on Aguero. He's better than Torres, IMO
