Bayern champion, City champion, Sporting CP champion … Many things are beginning to clarify in Europe and that is transferred to our ranking. The big clubs start to win titles, which makes them more or less at the top of the ranking.
The excitement moves to the French and Spanish leagues. In France, to the rejoicing of Onrubia, the Lille holds at the top and he is about to give the final blow to PSG. In Spain Atlético took a giant step by beating Real. There was a lot of skepticism in this ranking regarding the mattresses, but they have a champion scent … Or not?

CHELSEA
FACT: He beat City in the run-up to the Champions League final and lost to Arsenal. Still, they are the best team in Europe by state of form. Only Gabilondo leaves him second. |
 +1 |
| two |  |
MANCHESTER CITY
FACT: Champion of the Premier for the third time with Guardiola and that there are people who call Pep a failure. The Fracased One, as Bruno says wryly. |
 -1 |
| 3 |  |
BAYERN MUNICH
FACT:He got six to Gladbach despite the fact that Dortmund had already made him champion before playing. And Lewandowski? Okay, thanks: another hat-trick. |
+7 |
| 4 |  |
ATHLETIC
FACT: If you are a mattress maker, make an appointment with the cardiologist. He suffered in Barcelona and against Real. But he got four points that are pure gold on the way to the title. |
+2 |
| 5 |  |
LILLE
FACT: Burak Yilmaz, gentlemen. Needless to say more. Onrubia, the people of Lille and the Turks with him will be crazy. It is not for less. |
-1 |
| 6 |  |
INTER
FACT: Curious about Inter. He won Serie A and the fires started: because of the salaries, because of the Lautaro-Conte fight, because of Lukaku's party … Everything was very Inter. |
-3 |
| 7 |  |
SPORTING CP
FACT: One of the revelations of the season in Europe. He returned to be champion nine years later and left us a footballer for great things: Pedro Gonçalves. |
+6 |
| 8 |  |
M. UNITED
FACT: United's week with three games in six days was an ordeal, but Solskjaer and his team are 'on fire'. Bad business for Villarreal … |
-3 |
| 9 |  |
B. DORTMUND
FACT: We did not take Sancho into account for the end of the season and we were wrong. The crack reappeared and is going from strength to strength. |
+2 |
| 10 |  |
PSG
FACT: An agonizing victory in the Cup semifinals and a draw in Rennes that leaves him touched in Ligue 1. He accuses him in the ranking, but still remains. |
-3 |
| eleven |  |
REAL MADRID
FACT: Between controversies by the VAR, the hands, the penalties and the no penalties the season is going to him and it can remain in target. He is playing with juveniles … |
-3 |
| 12 |  |
ATALANTA
FACT: Gasperini, at your feet. The DEA thing is not a flower of a day and is close to closing the best classification in its history with an immeasurable Muriel. |
+4 |
| 13 |  |
MILAN
FACT: Skeptics with Milan like Bruno Alemany must have gone crazy with the 0-7 at Torino. Splendid Brahim, Hulking Rebic. |
+3 |
| 14 |  |
LEICESTER
FACT: Victory at Old Trafford, the ticket to the Champions practically sealed and an FA Cup final this weekend to be crowned completely. Temporadón. |
+2 |

VILLARREAL
FACT: Yes, we recognize that we have been unfair not to put him in the ranking until now. But he is in the final of the Europa League and that is top. Very top. |

For the first time since we made this ranking we have a tie in the head in terms of points. Draw between City and Chelsea, although the 'blues' are ahead because Bruno and Onrubia put him as the winner of the week. Even in this there is a 'photo finish' between the two best teams in Europe at the moment, the two that are going to play the Champions League final precisely.
More than fair rises for Lille and Sporting CP, and appearance of Villarreal to sneak into the top 15 on the continent. Of course, the week leaves several victims and one of them of real depth: the Barca. You cannot give away the League as you did against Levante and that our 'rankers' do not bill them …

Barça's hit in the Ciutat de Levante and also in the Power Ranking. He loses 10 positions and falls out of the top 15. Koeman's changes in the second half with the game practically won they will cost you your job him on the bench and Barça in our ranking, he looks like it.
The counterpoint is played by teams like Bayern or Sporting CP. Winning a league should always be valued, even if they have such different meanings: for Bayern it is the ninth in a row and they are not bored with winning; for Sporting it is the first in nine years. The two share merit in the ranking, in any case.
