PSG Slides in UEFA Rankings Even After Champions League Triumph

The unexpected turn of events is that despite securing their maiden Champions League title, Paris Saint-Germain has fallen in the UEFA club rankings.

Updated this Tuesday, the official UEFA coefficient ranks PSG as fifth in Europe, following Real Madrid (the new top spot holder), Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool. Indeed—Europe’s current champion team holds this position. not Even within the upper four.

Why the drop?

UEFA's ranking system relies on performances from the past five years. This situation works against Paris Saint-Germain since their defeat in the 2020 finals by Bayern Munich is no longer within this timeframe. As a result, they have lost crucial coefficient points because of this shift, overshadowing the fact that they recently won another Champions League title.

Therefore, even though winning the trophy in Munich solidified PSG’s legacy, it didn't significantly improve their statistical ranking.

Varied outcomes for French teams

In other parts of the French football scene, Lille (ranked 31st) and Marseille (positioned at 45th) maintained their standings. However, the genuine shock came from Stade Brestois, which made history by appearing in the UEFA top 110 list for the very first time, settling at number 108.

It serves as a reminder: The sweetness of European glory is matched only by the ruthlessness of UEFA's calculations.
