Itโs the penultimate Power Rankings of the 2025-26 season, as we rank the best-performing clubs in Europe by their rolling performances and results.
10. AS Roma โ๏ธ
Roma have done it. The capital club is back in the big time after a seven-season absence, after Gian Piero Gasperiniโs team secured Champions League football. Roma kept their cool to beat Verona on the final day and seal a return to Europeโs elite. After winning their final five games, a third-place finish is the clubโs highest in Serie A since 2017/18.
9. Aston Villa โ๏ธ
What a way to sign off on a season to remember. Ollie Watkins scored twice as Aston Villa won 2-1 at Manchester City, with The Villans party poopers on Pepโs grand farewell.
Champions League qualification through their league finish and Europa League success mark Villaโs best season this century.

8. Manchester United โ๏ธ
Michael Carrick has been named permanent manager of Manchester United, and it was impossible to overlook the caretaker coach.
Carrickโs side completed the campaign with a resounding win at Brighton, making it a dozen wins in just 17 games. Bruno Fernandes broke the assist record in the process, and the Red Devils head into the summer in good spirits. The feel-good factor is back at Old Trafford.
Bruno Fernandes has finished as the Premier Leagueโs top chance creator in FOUR consecutive seasons. ๐คฏ

7. Manchester City 
(Last week: 5th)
(Last week: 5th)Manchester City slips one place after a defeat in their final-day dead-rubber. Guardiolaโs goodbye and Etihad farewells for Bernardo Silva and John Stones led to a distracted display, as the Cityzens lost to Aston Villa.
6. Real Madrid (Last week: 7th)
(Last week: 7th)Real Madrid rounded off their La Liga campaign with three points, beating Athletic Club 4-2 in an entertaining contest. Standards have not been good enough this season, but the Spaniards at least head into the summer on a positive note.
Kylian Mbappe was on target to claim the Pichichi Trophy.
5. Inter Milan (Last week: 6th)
The Italian champions were another side who gave their fans entertainment in a final-day game of little consequence. A six-goal thriller at Bologna ended all square, with Inter recovering from 3-1 down to take a point.
4. Barcelona โ๏ธ
Defeat at Valencia wonโt dampen the Barcelona mood after La Liga title success. A rotated team lost 3-1 at The Mestalla, perhaps a hangover from their title celebrations. A 94-point haul in the league is a job well done.
3. Arsenal โ๏ธ
Arsenal were officially crowned as Premier League champions with the trophy presentation last weekend. The Gunners ensured it was a celebratory day all round by beating Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Mikel Artetaโs team next faces PSG in the Champions League final, where a win could take them to the Power Rankings top spot.

2. Bayern Munich โ๏ธ
A first German double since 2020 sealed in style last weekend. Harry Kane became only the third player to score a DFB-Pokal final hat-trick to put Stuttgart to the sword. It concludes an incredible campaign for Kane, who has scored 61 goals for Bayern Munich this season.

1. Paris Saint-Germain โ๏ธ
No fixture for Paris Saint-Germain, who have their preparations focused on the Champions League final. Luis Enriqueโs team was Europeโs best last season and can defend that title in Budapest this weekend.
