The performances of these teams in Europe in recent years are the major determinant for their rankings, with teams that have slumbered going down the pecking order.
Manchester United and Barcelona are worthy examples of teams that have been on a downward spiral and are yet to sort out their issues structurally and footballing-wise.
Teams that have been mesmeric in the past couple of years have also been recognized, with their brilliance taking them to higher heights on the list.
Manchester City are one side that has become a powerhouse in European football, and the brilliance that they have accentuated in recent years has seen them rise to the summit of the log above bigger European teams like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
