All Football Power Rankings of the Week (Apr 17, 2018): Bayern surpass Barca to rank 1st

Hello again! We organize clubs of Europe's top 5 leagues into an order that reflects the up-to-the-minute hierarchy every Tuesday. 

The rankings are a season-long measurement of clubs, tracking teams throughout 2017-18 and taking into account results from all competitions. Our rankings consider advanced stats, full-season play and recent performance with some gut feeling mixed in. 

Sides that have lost the fewest games naturally rank higher—though the strength of opposition met in a loss is considered—and both UEFA Champions/Europa League form and presence are used as tiebreakers for those with similar records. Teams that gather big wins against strong opponents get a boost.

10. Arsenal

Arsenal, who reached the Europa League semi-finals with a 6-3 aggregate win over CSKA Moscow in Russia on Thursday, are the only team in England's top four divisions yet to earn an away league point in 2018. Matt Ritchie scored the winner as Newcastle all-but ensured their Premier League survival with a 2-1 comeback win over bogey side Gunners.

9. PSG

PSG dismantled reigning champions AS Monaco 7-1 at the Parc des Princes as the Parisians claimed their fifth Ligue 1 title in six seasons.

8. Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid moved on to the Europa League semifinals despite losing 1-0 to Sporting CP in the second leg in Lisbon. Then they earned a comfortable 3-0 win at home to Levante on Sunday to take the club back to within 11 points of runaway La Liga leaders Barcelona.

7. Manchester United

Manchester United suffered a shock home defeat to West Brom on Sunday and helped to secure the Premier League title for Manchester City.

6. Liverpool

Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino were familiar heroes as Liverpool reached the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in a decade with a 2-1 second-leg win at Manchester City that sealed a 5-1 aggregate victory. AndSalah scored his 30th Premier League goal of the season as Liverpool continued their fine form with a 3-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday.
