Biggest Movers
3 Atletico Madrid
2 Arsenal
| Rk | Teams | Chg | Rcrd | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | team logo Bayern | The best team of the season, and they also showed it against Real Madrid despite conceding an early goal in the second leg. Same as Atletico Madrid but with different reasons, they can now focus fully on the European tournament as Vincent Kompany's side has the Bundesliga title secured thanks to a commanding 12-point lead over Borussia Dortmund. We can expect them to win both domestic titles and being the strongest candidate to lift the European tournament for the first time since the 2019-20 season, when they won the Treble under Hansi Flick. | -- | |
| 2 | team logo Atletico Madrid | After the second leg vs. Barca, Argentinian manager Diego Simeone said he feels there is "something magical" in the air this season for Atletico Madrid, and if he says this, we should believe him. They will have extra motivation to win the Champions League this season, as they have little chance of finishing higher than fourth in LaLiga. As a result, they're likely to focus all their efforts on the European campaign. This is clearly something to take into account, especially given how well they've been performing in Europe. Since the Argentinian took over in 2011, he's yet to win the Champions League with the Colchoneros, despite playing two finals in 2014 and 2016, both times losing to Real Madrid in Lisbon and in Milan. This might be their revenge. | 3 | |
| 3 | team logo PSG | The 2024-25 Champions League winners are candidates to repeat but they will also face Bayern Munich in the semifinals, widely considered frontrunners for the final win of the cup. If Khvicha Kvaratskhelia performs as he did recently in both Ligue 1 and Champions League, they can be a threat even to a team like the one coached by Vincent Kompany, which doesn't seem to have any kind of weak point. |
