Football Club Rankings 2024

Becoming the best football club in the world is not really an easy thing, and staying as the number 1 team in the world year after year is even more difficult. That’s why every year we have to classify the best teams in the world after the previous season ended, so it would be good to do it since the year 2024 is about to end. These are the Top 10 Best Soccer Clubs in the World in 2024 according to us.

Honorable Mention

AC Milan

Seria A

In the last 4 years, AC Milan has recovered much of the glory they lost in the mid-2010s, making it once again one of the strongest teams in Italy by winning the Serie A in 2022.

Thanks to footballers like Mike Maignan, Rafael Leao, Theo Hernandez and others who are no longer here like Olivier Giroud, Sandro Tonali and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, AC Milan is once again considered one of the best clubs in the world right now.

Top 10 Football Clubs in the World

10. Paris Saint-Germain FC

Ligue 1

Being considered the best team in French history is something very big, but when you don’t achieve much at the international level it leaves a lot to talk about. But that does not mean we should underestimate Paris Saint-Germain.

Despite the departure of players like Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, Neymar and Verratti, the Parisian team has managed to remain at the top of its country and is capable of competing with other teams in Europe.

9. Chelsea FC

Premier League

This team is a surprise at the top since their previous season was not the best, but it was certainly better than the one before that. But if we take into account the last months of last season and also what is going on in the current season, Maresca’s Chelsea is one of the best teams today.

They are currently second in the Premier League and have given a lot to talk about thanks to people like Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez. Let’s see if they are capable of winning the UEFA Conference League this season.

8. Bayer Leverkusen

Bundesliga

Nobody could imagine what Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen would achieve last season. In his first season as the team’s technical director, “the professor” led the team to its first Bundesliga title and not only that, they achieved it undefeated.

Signings such as Granit Xhaka, Alejandro Grimaldo, Victor Boniface and others who were already in the team such as Florian Wirtz, Exequiel Palacios, Lukas Hradecky and Jonathan Tah were the ones that improved the team.

7. Manchester City

Premier League

Manchester City is usually considered one of the best teams in England and Europe, but they are currently going through their worst moment since Guardiola’s arrival to the team.

City has lost more games than won in the last 7 they have played and they already consider their season in England dead despite Rodri winning the Ballon d’Or. Even so, we cannot leave them out of the top 10 of today’s teams.

6. FC Barcelona

La Liga

The arrival of Hansi Flick undoubtedly brought back a Barcelona that was asleep with Xavi Hernandez. Flick brought back the best version of Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Iñigo Martinez, Jules Koundé and Pedri, which has allowed Barcelona to fight for La Liga again although their competition is quite close. Let’s see if the team grows better and if they get better players in the transfer period.

5. Inter Milan

Serie A

Since the beginning of the 2020 decade, Inter Milan has dethroned Juventus and positioned itself as the best team in all of Italy.

Like Milan, their direct rival, they had a somewhat difficult decade in the 2010s but they knew how to recover faster than them and thanks to this, and players like Lautaro Martinez, Nicolo Barella and Alessandro Bastoni, they have already won two league titles and were Champions League runners-up in 2023. Right now they are the favorites to win the Serie A again.

4. Arsenal

Premier League

Removing Arsenal for their pre-2022 seasons would be very unfair since from that year on they have become one of the best teams in the world thanks to young people led by the Spanish Mikel Arteta.

The team’s center back duo, Gabriel and William Saliba, are considered one of the best centre-back pairings in the world and Odegaard is considered one of the best midfielders in the world.

3. FC Bayern Munich

Bundesliga

The german giant better known as FC Bayern Munich, is always in the top 5 of the best teams in the world, and sometimes always in position 2 or 3, but in this case, it falls to position 3 since for the first time in 10 years they did not win the Bundesliga.

But even so, they could easily fight for the Champions League against any team in the world and the arrival of the Englishman Harry Kane suited them like a glove and are currently the favorites to win the league.

2. Liverpool FC

Premier League

Although Jurgen Klopp left at the end of last season, Liverpool continues to be one of the favorite teams to watch and have become the best team in England, surpassing Manchester City and Arsenal. Now with Arne Slot as the new technical director, the team has so far dominated the Premier and Mohammed Salah has practically become the best soccer player in the league.

1. Real Madrid

La Liga

Many things are certain in the world of football, and one of them is that Real Madrid is the best team of the year 2024. Don Carlo Ancelotti has a team that never seems to stop and with the arrival of Kylian Mbappe it seemed like he would never arrive, Real Madrid’s offensive power is from another world.

Also, players like Carvajal, Bellingham, Vinicius and Valverde have been very important and thanks to them they managed to win the League and the Champions League last season.
