The official UEFA website has updated its rankings ahead of the new season, and AC Milan currently rank in the top 20.
After taking into account the results from the 2020-21 season onwards, European football’s governing body have produced a new ranking of the top teams around the continent. As a reminder, this determines the seedings for next season’s European draws.
Milan are currently in 19th place, but the Rossoneri are not participating in any UEFA competition this season so the ranking does not have any bearing in that sense. Below is the full list:
1. Real Madrid 117,500
2. Bayern Munich 108,250
3. Inter 107,250
4. Manchester City 102,750
5. Liverpool 101,500
6. Paris Saint-Germain 94,500
7. Bayer Leverkusen 85,250
8. Borussia Dortmund 84,750
9. Barcelona 83,250
10. Roma 80,500
11. Benfica 77,750
12. Atletico Madrid 77,500
13. Manchester United 76,500
14. Chelsea 76,000
15. Arsenal 75,000
16. Eintracht Frankfurt 74,000
17. West Ham 69,000
18. Feyenoord 67,000
19. Milan 66,000
20. Atalanta 65,000
21. Fiorentina 62,000
25. Lazio 59,000
32. Juventus 53,250
35. Napoli 51,000
93. Bologna 16,189
What is also certain is that Milan’s ranking could well plummet this season, because they will not accrue any points at all given their absence from all three tiers of European competition.
The challenge for Massimiliano Allegri and his squad is to make sure that it is just a one-year absence, otherwise years of work getting back inside the top 20 places could be very quickly undone.
