Bayern, Barcelona and Atletico Separated by Whisker

Just fractions separate top 3 teams on the top of the table and Barcelona somehow maintain their hold on top of the table. Bayern and Atletico both have done exceedingly well in last week both domestically and in Europe to cover the gap between them and Barcelona. Barcelona’s defense is losing them a lot of points in the rankings by conceding goals and failing to keep clean sheets.
Another team which has got into stride and is rising every week is Man City. They have raised 6 places after their demolition work in Premier League and Champions League. Watch out for them as they are preparing themselves to march into the top 5 in rankings. 3 Premier league teams in top 10 is good indication of revival of premier league and 5 in top 20 is a proof of quality of league.
French League 1 boasts of two of the richest clubs in the world in PSG and Monaco. While PSG continues its strong performance and maintains its position in top 5 and its reputation as one of the elite clubs in Europe, Monaco is struggling and now has slipped out of rankings (24th). Lille is getting points on board and is now the 2nd best ranked league 1 team after PSG. Monaco needs to rethink how to get more dominating performance out of this team.

Teams to watch out for next week are Barcelona (Can they retain number one?), Bayern and Atletico (Can they get enough points to dislodge Barcelona?) and Man City (Can they continue their strong run and break into top 5?).We will know next week. Another team that should look for a good show is Liverpool (21st). Good game this weekend can get them enough point to break into top 20 of rankings and they are capable of doing that this season. Exciting week ahead.
