10. Manchester United (Premier League - score: 3,528):Despite his best efforts, Mourinho could only help Man Utd win the runner-up position in the 2017/18 Premier League. However, this is the best position the "Red Devils" have achieved since Sir Alex Ferguson retired. The Old Trafford club will have a summer transfer window to strengthen their squad before embarking on a campaign to overthrow rival Man City next season. |
9. Tottenham (Premier League - score: 3,540): The North London club also had a successful season, finishing third in the Premier League and reaching the last 16 of the Champions League. |
8. Napoli (Serie A - score: 3,542):Under the direction of coach Mauricio Sarri, Napoli became the team with the most beautiful and effective attacking style in Serie A. The impressive performance of the San Paolo club forced Juventus to exert all their strength until the final rounds to win the Scudetto. Napoli is the only team in the history of the top 5 European leagues to end the season with 91 points but still could not win the championship. |
7. Atletico Madrid (La Liga - score: 3,798):Being eliminated in the Champions League group stage accidentally became a blessing for Atletico. With superior strength and class, Diego Simeone's team went down to play in the Europa League and won the championship quite easily. In the La Liga arena, Rojiblancos also competed successfully and finished in second place. |
6. PSG (Ligue 1 - score: 3,849):With overwhelming strength, domestic titles are almost a given for the capital team. However, billionaire Nasser Al-Khelaifi is still not satisfied because his favorite team is still just a "rookie" in the continental arena. |
5. Manchester City (Premier League - score: 3,852):After a first season without a trophy, Pep Guardiola made his Premier League opponents bow down with a convincing championship. In the Champions League, "Citizen" also reached the semi-finals and only lost to a Liverpool team that excelled in all aspects. |
4. Juventus (Serie A - score: 4,036):With current strength, "The Old Lady" will likely still dominate Serie A for the next few years. |
3. Bayern Munich (Bundesliga - score: 4,052):Bayern started off poorly under Carlo Ancelotti but have been revived since the return of coach Jupp Heynckes. The "Gray Tigers" have left their rivals far behind to win the Bundesliga and advance to the Champions League semi-finals. |
2. Real Madrid (La Liga - score: 4,190):Zidane made the right move when he proactively gave up La Liga to focus on the more important arena, the Champions League. Real Madrid became the first club to win the European Championship three times in a row after Bayern Munich (1974-1976). |
1. Barcelona (La Liga - score: 4,333):Unable to advance in the Champions League (losing to Roma in the quarter-finals), Barcelona still had a successful season with a domestic double of La Liga - Copa del Rey. In La Liga, coach Ernesto Valverde's team only lost one match. That was a 4-5 defeat to Levante in the penultimate round. |
