Top Five European League Teams Based on Points-Per-Game
There is frequent debate about the best football teams in Europe at the moment, especially early in the season when it is difficult to judge. The recent changes in the Champions League group stage format add complexity, and the varying standards across leagues and seasons make comparisons challenging.
To address this, Transfermarkt has created a top-five league table ranking teams from the Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1 based on points-per-game (ppg). This method accounts for differences in the number of teams and matches in German and French leagues, aiming for a fair comparison.
Current Top Five Teams by Points-Per-Game
- Bayern Munich – Leading with a perfect 3.00 ppg after winning all nine opening matches in the Bundesliga.
- Real Madrid – In second place from LaLiga, boasting an impressive 2.72 ppg.
- Arsenal – Premier League leaders hold third with 2.50 ppg.
- RB Leipzig – Another Bundesliga team in fourth with 2.44 ppg.
- Barcelona – Fifth place with 2.27 ppg.
Continuing Bundesliga’s strong showing, Borussia Dortmund ranks sixth with 2.22 ppg.
Debate often rages as to who are the best teams in Europe right now, and early on in the campaign it truly is hard to tell.
Whilst it must of course be remembered that the standards are different in each league, each season, to try and help determine which top-five league sides are looking the best right now, Transfermarkt has compiled a top-five league table based on points-per-game.
This ranking offers a clear perspective on which clubs are currently performing at the highest level across Europe’s leading leagues.
