UEFA index: France finishes strong and returns to Germany!

But who can stop PSG this season? Obviously no one in Ligue 1 since the club of the capital is already champion at 6 days from the end. But in the Champions League it is hardly different. With 7 victories on the last 8 games played, it is good to emphasize that the band at Luis Enrique is for many in the pretty recovery made by France to the UEFA index.

Faced with Aston Villa and despite an opening of the score conceded, PSG finally won 3-1 with the way and can now approach the return match at Villa Park with great serenity. Thanks to the points collected by the Fresh Champion Champion of L1 2025, France is nibbling little by little behind Germany, also well helped by the beautiful epic of OL in the Europa League who can dream of an exploit at Old Trafford despite his 2-2 draw at Groupama Stadium against Manchester United this Thursday evening.

France nibbles behind Germany

And the best may be to come since our neighbor from across the Rhine is in very bad shape. After his heavy 4-0 defeat in Barcelona, Dortmund has already moved on while Bayern is in unfavorable tank after his home defeat against Inter Milan (1-2). He could soon have only the Eintracht Frankfurt still in the running. But the training of Hugo Ekitike will have to take a good draw in Tottenham (1-1), prevails at home to qualify.

If it turns out to be anecdotal for the current season ranking, it could be otherwise on the five-year ranking which will see the 2020-21 season fading at the end of May. A very unfavorable year for France which had scored only 7.916 points against 15,214 for Germany. From the start of the 2025-26 season, the gap between France and Germany will therefore be reduced by 7,298 points. And if the season ended today, the gap would only be 6,851 points against 14,149 now…

In the rest of the index classification which is still its importance, in particular concerning obtaining the two bonus places in the Champions League given to the two countries with the best UEFA index in the current season, England is almost guaranteed to finish in first place in the 2024-25 season. This already assures him of a fifth qualifying place in C1. For second place, Spain (22.392 points) is very well left since it benefits from a clear advantage over Italy (20.437).
