To use the official terms, know that UEFA offers a classification of clubs by developing a coefficient for each team. To do this, the continental body adds the UEFA points collected in the last five seasons in the three European cuts. In this little game, Real Madrid is European number 1 well in front of Manchester City, Bayern, Liverpool is a fifth PSG after its resounding coronation of May 31 against Inter Milan (5-0).
The European season began with the qualifications, before the first phases of the Champions League, the Europa League and the Conference League in mid-September. The virtual classification is therefore calculated with the last four seasons (2021-2022, 2022-2023, 2023-2024 and 2024-2025) and PSG begins the 2025-2026 season being relegated behind Inter, which takes fifth place. Parisians lose their points from the semi-final against Manchester City in 2020-2021. Yes, time passes quickly.
Four other Ligue 1 clubs are found in the top 50 of UEFA. And they all win places at the start of the 2025-2026 season.
Monaco just behind OM
The LOSC thus goes from 31st to 26th place in the classification of European clubs, thanks in particular to its C1 career in 2021-2022 (8th finals against Chelsea). OL follows in 42nd place, after having occupied 51st place a few weeks ago. The Gones had already lost their points gleaned during their last LDC square in 2020, but they still enjoy good results in the Europa League 2021-2022 (quarter-final against West Ham)
Then follow OM, which goes from 45th to 44 place, and AS Monaco, which jumped from 54th to 45th place to UEFA coefficients. Over the past four seasons-and when they have not played any European competition in 2024-2025-, the Marseillais still have points of its two European semi-finals, that of the conference in 2022 against the Feyenoord and that of the Europa League in 2024 against Atalanta. Phocaeans and Monegasques take advantage of the declines of Seville, Dinamo Zagreb and Slavia Prague, who no longer count their points collected in 2020-2021.
