11. Chelsea- (up 3)
The blues are becoming a resurgent team under Maurizio Sarri as we head into the last quarter of the season, a brilliant display from Star man – Eden Hazard over the week and a grind and grit 0-1 away win at Slavia Prague in the Europa League just about pushes them into the top 11

10. Dortmund – ( down 5)
This has been a really torrid period for Borussia Dortmund and this disgruntled period was summed up with the 5-0 trashing away at the Allianz Arena

09 PSG- (-)
The 2-2 draw against Strasbourg was highlighted by the miss of the season from Eric Maxim Choupo Moting. Although he got a goal for his side. But the miss would forever hunt him as a win would have secured the Ligue1 title for the Parisien army

08 Tottenham (Up 2)
The lily-white have taken a 1-0 lead heading into the second leg of their quarter-final tie against Manchester City and that’s all thanks to the tactical genius of Mauricio Pochettino and of course Hugo Lloris’ safe hands

07 Arsenal – (-)
The gunners pecked out the churny feathers of Carlo Ancelotti’s Napoli at the Emirates thanks to starman Aaron Ramsey, it’s going to be a bitter pill for the gunners to swallow given that the midfield engine would be heading to Turin this summer. And for a frankly ridiculous amount of €0. Bad business from the gunners

06 Bayern – (up 2)
Bayern may well be out of Europe’s elite competition, but Nico Kovac’s men have taken the Bundesliga by storm by putting in a solid 5-0 performance against this seasons Hollywood boys to show that they’re still the top dogs in Germany.

05 Ajax – (up 7)
Ajax have had a meteoric rise up the table, they’ve been a sight to behold of late, being able to knock out the defending champions in Real Madrid, and holding strong UCL contenders Juventus to a 1-1 draw at the Johan Cruyff Arena. Even if they get knocked out by Juventus in the second leg, they’re clearly going to bow out as one of the most entertaining teams this term.

04 Juventus – (-)
Even though they were largely dominated in the first leg of their UCL quarterfinal tie with Ajax. They were without Giorgio Chiellini who’s arguably the bedrock of the Juventus defense and conceded just one goal whilst scoring a potentially important away goal thanks to no other than the talismanic Cristiano Ronaldo who’s scored 4 goals in his last 2 UCL games. Not a bad performance at all.

03 City – ( Down 2)
Finally, City lose their number one spot, albeit a questionable team performance and team selection from Pep Guardiola in their crunch UCL tie against Tottenham. Well, he is a tactical genius, we can only wait to see his next throw of the dice.
