The latest rankings in Europe, Real Madrid topped the top, Paris won the championship but lost one, Arsenal rose 10 places in a row

With the end of the three major European Cups, European football has also completed a season's journey. According to the latest standings released by UEFA, Real Madrid surpassed Manchester City and Bayern Munich to become the team with the highest points in Europe. Although he won the first Champions League championship in team history, Paris Saint-Germain lost 1 place in ranking. Among the top teams, Arsenal rose 10 places in a row, ranking behind Manchester United.

UEFA calculates the points of the club and the country every year. The points of the country are weighted by the weighted sum of the points of each club, and the points of the club are calculated based on the results of European competitions in the past five years. It should be noted that the scores of the Europa League and Europa League are the same as those of the Champions League. Generally, you win one game and score one point, and enter the Champions League group stage and knockout stage, and there are some "reward" points, which is roughly equivalent to winning two to four more games.

Whether it is a country or a club, the ranking will affect the qualifications of the three major European Cups. For example, the top four leagues with points have 4 places in the Champions League, including the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga, and have always dominated the top four. The Champions League is almost the same as "focusing on four". In addition, the top two leagues in a single season will receive an additional UEFA Champions League place. Last season was Serie A and Bundesliga. The upcoming new season will be the turn of the Premier League and La Liga to receive the rewards.

For the club, the determination of the first team in the Champions League has been modified to be the other 8 teams except for the Champions League championship, which are determined by the ranking of points. Therefore, all teams in next season have been confirmed. Paris Saint-Germain is shortlisted for the Champions League championship, with the remaining eight teams being Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Inter Milan, Chelsea, Dortmund and Barcelona, ​​and Arsenal just fell into the second level.

From the perspective of the standings, compared with the past two years, Paris Saint-Germain's ranking has dropped by one, because the scores 5 years ago are no longer included. That season, Paris also reached the Champions League final and lost to Bayern and ranked second. At the same time, Liverpool lost to Atletico Madrid that season and stopped in the quarterfinals. Although the past season was also stopped in the quarterfinals, they had already won a lot of points in the seven-game winning streak, so they could still surpass Paris after a while.

Similarly, Bayern Munich, who won the championship five years ago, scored was replaced this season. Manchester City missed the top 16 this season, which reduced the total points of the two giants a lot, and it became very reasonable to be surpassed by Real Madrid. The three teams on the top list, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern, have basically scored more than 25 points every year. Their stable performance has allowed the three giants to remain in the top three in recent years.

The biggest improvement is Arsenal, which ranked only 22nd last season and has now jumped 10th to 12th. In the past two seasons, Arsenal has returned to the long-lost Champions League and has also reached the semi-finals, so its ranking has risen sharply. I believe that Arsenal's ranking will further improve in the next few years. Manchester United, which has been in a downturn, has ranked 11th in Europe for two consecutive years, which seems difficult to understand. In fact, this is the "mystery" of European points. Even if you don't have the Champions League, you can still have enough points as long as you perform well in the Europa League. In the past five years, Manchester United has won two Europa League runner-ups and one Europa League quarter-finals, which is enough to maintain a high ranking. However, if you miss the European arena next season, your single-season points will be zero, and Manchester United's ranking will definitely drop significantly. Amorin has a long way to go.

If you only follow the points ranking this season, Inter Milan, Barcelona and Arsenal are in the top three respectively, and Paris, the Champions League winner, can only rank fourth, while Manchester United, which remained unbeaten before the final, ranks fifth, and Tottenham, the winning Tottenham, ranked sixth. Next are Aston Villa, Chelsea and Liverpool. Six Premier League teams are in the top nine, which shows the collective strength.

It can be seen that UEFA's points calculation refers to the results of the three competitions, which makes non-top giants also have the possibility of a counterattack. For example, last season, Roma could enter the top ten with one European League champion, one Europa League champion, and two Europa League semi-finals.

Therefore, in order to maintain a higher ranking, even if you fall into the UEFA Cup or the UEFA League, you must strive for better results. You will get points for every game you win and score for every round of promotion. This will not only add points to the league you belong to, but also create more favorable conditions for the team in the future season.
