Champion Atleti, Lille too, Villarreal conquering the Europa League … If we wanted strong emotions in the last part of the season, we have had them. Troubled week as far as the Power Ranking is concerned, perhaps a consequence of it. The reviled Atlético wins the week, despite the fact that Onrubia and Bruno have been very reluctant with Simeone's men for most of the season.
There are important entries also at the last minute like those of the teams that have conquered their European places, especially Real Sociedad and Betis. No, it has nothing to do with Gabilondo being one of our 'rankers'. End-of-season awards are always fair, whatever they are for.
| 1 | ATHLETIC FACT: Mattress friends, we have not valued you enough in this Ranking and we recognize it. Until the last day Atleti has not won a week. This is how we are. | ||
| two | VILLARREAL FACT: It is not ruled out that at this time they continue to shoot penalties in Gdansk … The most famous shootout in history made Villarreal a legend and second in the ranking. | ||
| 3 | LILLE FACT: The one Galtier and his boys screwed up. French league champions to everyone's surprise. And the Burak Yilmaz thing is a scandal, scoring until the end. | ||
| 4 | MANCHESTER CITY FACT: A tribute was paid in the run-up to the Champions League final and paid the most deserved tribute to Kun Agüero. Everything is in the hands of Pep now in the final. | ||
| 5 | CHELSEA FACT: He suffered on the last day to qualify for the Champions League, but he did it thanks to … Tottenham. And now? Well, to try to be European champion. Almost nothing. | ||
| 6 | REAL MADRID FACT: Until the end, Zidane's team fought, which ends the year in white and leaving the club. There is no bad taste in the mouth even so. It is difficult to explain. | = | |
| 7 | LIVERPOOL FACT: Old fox Klopp, when no one gave a penny for Liverpool, he put one more gear and finished the Premier third. Lesser evil after such an irregular year. | ||
| 8 | INTER FACT: The Inter deserves a separate chapter. Champion for weeks, offering a good level until the end, but with Conte already out of the team. A madhouse. | ||
| 9 | MILAN FACT: Huge to have recovered Milan for the Champions League. Pioli's extraordinary work and victory in Bergamo against an Atalanta who wanted to annoy Juve. Biscotto? | ||
| 10 | BAYERN MUNICH FACT: Lewandowski scored his 41st goal and it is the absolute record in the same season. An analysis cannot be done apart from the Polish. It's half Bayern. | ||
| eleven | JUVENTUS FACT: One of the winners of the last week in Europe, Cup champion and qualified for the Champions 'in extremis'. Still, Pirlo and Cristiano will pack their bags … | ||
| 12 | B. DORTMUND FACT: A military walk in his last days, not only has he won the Cup but he has been easily classified for the Champions League. Unthinkable months ago. | ||
| 13 | PSG FACT: He lost the League and ends the season with only Cup and Super Cup as titles. Neymar missed a penalty and Mbappé scored. The same old story, whatever Bruno says. | ||
| 14 | REAL SOCIETY FACT: Brilliant European classification, which adds to the Cup title won this season. Those of Imanol do things well and Isak's is already starting to be scandalous. | ||
| fifteen | BETIS FACT: The big surprise of the season in Spain. Those who had doubts that Pellegrini is a great coach have already dispelled them. And he has a genius: Fékir. |
Villarreal is the great beneficiary of this European superweek and goes up … 14 places! The Yellow Submarine won the Europa League, will play the Super Cup and will be the fifth Spanish representative in the Champions League. Special mention also for Milan and Lille, which go up 7 and 6 places respectively.
Conversely, Juve drops, despite qualifying for the Champions League, Well, he came from being Cup champion, and our friends from Leicester disappear from the ranking at the worst possible moment. Considerable downturn also from PSG. A lot of big team dying in these last days, that's good …

For the first time this year, Manchester United falls out of the rankings. Honestly, de Gea's jinx and Solskjaer's mismanagement of the final take their toll on the Red Devils when they had the option of winning a European title. Neither is Sevilla. We have gotten so spoiled that making the record for points in a season in the League seems too little baggage to be among the top 15 this week.
In exchange we put Real Sociedad and Betis. The Real thing is not new. In that historic month of April in which conquered the cup He was already among our top 15 teams in Europe. What is new is that of Betis. Even if it's like small tribute to the many Betis who follow us, there it is in the Top 15.
