8. Sporting Lisbon 🆕 (Last week: N/A)

Sporting Lisbon returns to the Power Rankings after a remarkable achievement. They’ve made history by overturning a three-goal first-leg deficit in the Champions League, defeating Bodo/Glimt 5-0 after extra time, securing a spot in the quarter-finals for the first time since 1983.

7. RC Lens  (Last week: 6th)

Lens missed a chance to apply pressure on PSG by losing to Lorient. With PSG not playing, this was an opportunity lost to close the gap on the leaders.

6. Man City (Last week: 5th)

Manchester City suffered setbacks this week, drawing with West Ham, which hindered their title pursuit, and being eliminated from the Champions League by Real Madrid, marking just the third time Pep Guardiola has lost both legs of a tie.

5. Paris Saint-Germain ⬆️ (Last week: 7th)

PSG requested to delay their weekend match to prepare for Chelsea. After winning the first leg 5-2, they followed up with a 3-0 victory at Stamford Bridge to reach the quarter-finals, now set to face Liverpool.

3. Barcelona ↔️ (Last week: 3rd)

Barcelona scored 12 goals in their last week, dominating Sevilla in La Liga and Newcastle in the Champions League. They overwhelmed Newcastle with seven goals, causing them to become only the second English side to concede over six goals in a Champions League match.

2. Arsenal ↔️ (Last week: 2nd)

Arsenal is getting closer to claiming the Premier League title, now leading by nine points. Late goals, including a record-setting one from 16-year-old Max Dowman, propelled them past Everton and into the next round in Europe.

Their quest for a quadruple remains alive as they approach the weekend’s Carabao Cup final.

1. Bayern Munich ↔️ (Last week: 1st)

Bayern Munich, in strong form, continues to dominate, recently achieving one of the largest aggregate wins in Champions League history. After already leading 6-1, they beat Atalanta 4-1 in the return leg.
