🎯 Why These Rankings Matter:
- They determine seeding positions in UEFA draws.
- They reflect a club’s sporting and financial strength.
- They influence a club’s attractiveness to players, sponsors, and fans.
🔮 What’s Next?
With the summer transfer window approaching and coaching changes on the horizon, next season could shake things up. Rising clubs like Arsenal, Newcastle, and Bayer Leverkusen are poised to challenge the top tier.
