The latter stages of the UEFA Champions League are the ultimate revealer of a team's strength. They serve as the only true way for us to measure each country's best against others, making it a valuable tool when constructing our European Club Rankings.
On the back of a wild round of 16, we have taken a more stringent look at each team's season so far and adjusted their position accordingly. If some moves (up or down) seem particularly generous or cruel, that's why.
These rankings are a season-long measurement of clubs, tracking teams throughout 2017/18 and taking into account results from all competitions.
