The new UEFA club coefficient rankings for the 2024–2025 campaign are out, and Arsenal and Barcelona find themselves at the lower part of the top 20 most ranked clubs.
Despite failing to win the Champions League in the 2023–2024 season, Manchester City are still ranked number one in the standings.
UEFA’s club championships use coefficients to set seedings in drawings, and a weighted algorithm based on continental performances awards points.
Club rankings are calculated by taking into account results over the last four seasons and your home association’s coefficient over this period. For the 2024–25 season, rankings are based on performances from the 2020–21 campaign forward.
Real Madrid occupy second place on the standings following their Champions League triumph over Dortmund, while Bayern Munich and Liverpool are third and fourth, respectively.
Chelsea sit at ninth, just one spot above tenth-placed Inter Milan, while Manchester United occupy fourteenth position.
Arsenal and Barcelona at the bottom 20
At the lower part of the table, there are some pretty odd rankings, however, well-deserved, with 2023 Conference League winners West Ham United ranking 16th.
While Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, and Arsenal are surprisingly seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth, respectively.
