PSG, Bayern, Atlético, Arsenal, our power ranking of the four semi-finalists


There are only 4 clubs left still competing in the Champions League. As the semi-finals of the competition approach, here is our power ranking of the best teams.

The Champions League is about to reach its conclusion. The quarter-finals wreaked havoc, leaving several big names like FC Barcelona and Real Madrid behind. Conversely, Arsenal and Bayern Munich, the two best teams in the league stage, are still in the race. However, we should not neglect the course of Atlético de Madrid, not necessarily scheduled at the start of the season for the last four but Antoine Griezmann intends to take the Colchoneros to the final on May 30.

Finally, Paris Saint-Germain dreams of making history and achieving back-to-back. The capital club is gaining strength and demonstrating that to defeat the title holder, it will be necessary to achieve an almost perfect double confrontation. It is therefore extremely difficult to establish a ranking of the best clubs at this stage of the competition but one team seems to stand out slightly compared to the others.

On paper, Atlético seems to be the team least equipped to go to the end of the competition. But the Madrid club accepts this outsider status without complexes. Fourth in La Liga, the Colchoneros are betting everything on the Champions League with the objective of finally winning this trophy, after three failures. For Antoine Griezmann’s latest, the story couldn’t be more glorious.

3. Arsenal

Just a few weeks ago, Arsenal were by far considered the favorite team to lift the big-eared cup. But concern is growing. Not necessarily brilliant against Leverkusen, the Gunners also barely eliminated Sporting Portugal. Confidence seems to be fleeing Mikel Arteta’s players and the weight of history could once again punish the London giant.

2. Paris Saint-Germain

The champion is currently respecting his law in his presence in the last four of the C1. PSG did not tremble against Chelsea then against Liverpool. However, the English walk is over and from now on, the Parisians will face the most terrifying team in Europe. A double confrontation which promises to be epic and which risks being played out on tiny details.

1. Bayern Munich

A qualification acquired 6-4, marked by major performances from certain Bavarians. The German team is in steamroller mode and stopping Bayern will be particularly difficult. The logical favorites of this Champions League are on a mission.
