For a third year in a row, Manchester City have topped Uefa’s club co-efficient rankings.

The Blues, who were knocked out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage last season, are four points ahead of the eventual winners – and second-ranked side – Real Madrid.

Ranking points are based on the results of a club competing in a Uefa European competition and are combined with the previous four seasons – during which City have reached the final twice.

Points are awarded from group-stage participation, group-stage wins and draws and progress through the knockout rounds.

The Blues have not lost a Champions League game in 90 minutes since the semi-final second leg against Real back in May 2022.

Manchester City compete in Europe’s elite club competition for a 14th successive season in 2024-25.
