What a complicated week for our ranking! Those who won the Cup finals are not doing well in the League and those who are doing well in the League lost the Cup finals. A gibberish just one day before everything is resolved in European football.
Atlético and Lille lead the last sprint in the leagues to be decided, but there is a lot of incredulity in this ranking that believes that there will be 'sorpasso' on the decisive day. All this within a week of the Champions League final in Porto. If we like football, it is because of strong emotions like those that come around the corner.

ATHLETIC

+1 |
| 4 |  |
PSG
FACT: He won the cup final in France with a great Mbappé and Di María giving assistance as if they were sweets. Of course, Lille can take Ligue 1 away from him. Drama. |

B. DORTMUND

INTER

LIVERPOOL

+5 |
| 12 |  |
BAYERN MUNICH
FACT: We could substitute Bayern for Lewandowski and it would be worth the same for our ranking. The Pole equaled Müller with 40 goals in one season. Wild. |

Make way for the historical ones. Juventus and Liverpool sneak into the rankings for the first time when this is about to be decided. Old dogs. The victory in the Turinese cup final, Pirlo's lopsided smile, Buffon's joy as if they were a teenager when he is 43 years old … Juve had to be there.
The same goes for Liverpool, who has managed to come out of his lethargy of the season to get closer to the Champions League on the last day and depend on himself. If it succeeds, after all the hardships, it will already be a success.

Juventus, PSG, Leicester … it pays well in our ranking to win a title. All three climb positions after lifting the Cup in their respective countries. In the case of the Juventinos, the rise is 11 places !! Double reading: very good week, but also very bad the previous ones.
The opposite of Bayern and United, that go down 9 and 6 positions respectively. This also makes clear sense: they did their homework on time and in those last weeks they are letting go. The Red Devils have the Europa League final, Yes indeed. Lots of fabric.
