| World | 2018 | 43 | World Club Power Rankings: March 7-13 | 31621532 | Leaps and bounds | Leaps+and+bounds | World | This week’s Power Rankings underwent massive changes largely due to one man: Cristiano Ronaldo (or Referee Cuneyt Cakir, depending on who you ask). After leading Real to a second straight Clasico win over Barcelona, Ronaldo’s winner at Old Trafford sent Manchester United out of the Champions League and out of our top 5, catapulting Madrid up our rankings.

| World | 2018 | 43 | World Club Power Rankings: March 7-13 | 31621478 | Bayern Munich | Bayern+Munich | World | Last week: 1
Fact File
League Record: 20-3-1, first place, Bundesliga (Germany)
Domestic Cup: Defeated Borussia Dortmund 1-0 at Allianz Arena
Europe: Round of 16 Champions League second-leg match versus Arsenal at Alianz Arena on Mar. 13
Last five matches: 5-0-0
Summary:
Bayern avoided slipping up at lowly Hoffenheim over the weekend despite resting some of its key stars. The team might want to get used to it. With nobody near Bayern in the Bundesliga standings, Jupp Heynckes can rest his key men as he sees fit, especially ahead of the return leg against Arsenal.
Upcoming match: Bundesliga match at Fortuna Düsseldorf on Mar. 9 |

| World | 2018 | 43 | World Club Power Rankings: March 7-13 | 31621479 | Real Madrid | Real+Madrid | World | Last week: 5
Fact File
League Record: 17-4-5, third place, La Liga (Spain)
Domestic Cup: Advanced to Copa del Rey final with 4-2 aggregate win over Barcelona
Europe: Through Champions League's last eight with 3-2 aggregate victory over Premier League leaders Manchester United
Last five league matches: 5-0-0
Summary:
Back-to-back wins over Barcelona, followed by a grinding road win at Old Trafford to move into the Champions League quarters? Not a bad week is it? Yes, Real Madrid may have gotten a favorable call here or there, but there’s no denying that Madrid are now the hottest team on the planet.
Upcoming match: Battle Celta de Vigo on Mar. 10 |

Domestic Cup: Eliminated from Coppa Italia in semifinal round against Lazio
Europe: Advances to Champions League quarterfinals with 5-0 aggregate win over Celtic
Last five matches: 3-1-1
Summary:
Juventus move up to the No. 3 spot in part thanks to mistakes from the competition, but more so due to yet another stellar defensive display in the Champions League. By beating Celtic 2-0 Wednesday, Juve have now held Champions League opposition scoreless for five straight games. Gigi Buffon is again staking a claim as the world’s best goalkeeper.
Upcoming match: Battles Serie A foe Catania on Mar. 3 |

Domestic Cup: Lost to Bayern Munich 1-0 in DFB Pokal quarterfinals
Europe: Advance to Champions League quarters after defeating Shakhtar Donetsk 4-2 on aggregate
Last five league matches: 3-1-1
Summary:
Looks like Dortmund just needed the Champions League to find their form again. After some sub-par performances in the Bundesliga recently, a lot of pressure was put on Jurgen Klopp’s team ahead of the second leg with Shakhtar. His players delivered with a dominating performance that underlined its title aspirations and put Europe back on notice. BVB is for real.
Upcoming match: Bundesliga home match against Schalke on Mar. 9 |

| World | 2018 | 43 | World Club Power Rankings: March 7-13 | 31623170 | Barcelona | Barcelona | World | Last Week: 3
Fact File
League Record: 22-2-2, first place, La Liga (Spain)
Domestic Cup: Suffered 4-2 aggregate loss to rivals Real Madrid
Europe: Round of 16 Champions League match versus AC Milan on Mar. 12 at Camp Nou
Last five matches: 2-0-3
Summary:
Barca, for the first time in ages, has some real questions to answer. You could have forgiven Barca for its back-to-back away losses at Milan and Real Madrid, but after what transpired at the Camp Nou last weekend, you’d think Real is the side dominating La Liga. The Catalans’ league lead remains safe, for now, but Barca must find its old dominance quickly to survive in Europe. It will be highly interesting to see how Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez, and Andres Iniesta respond in the face of real crisis.
Upcoming match: La Liga home match against Deportivo on Mar. 9 |

Fact File
League Record: 16-6-5, first place, Ligue 1 (France)
Domestic Cup: Defeated Olympique Marseille 2-0 in Coupe de France
Europe: Advance to Champions League quarterfinals with 3-2 aggregate win over Valencia
Last five matches: 2-2-1
Summary:
PSG did not impress against Valencia throughout their second leg at the Parc de Princes, and it was obvious how much they missed the suspended Zlatan Ibrahimovic. That’s a bad omen for the Parisians, as Zlatan will also miss the first quarterfinal leg against a presumably much more difficult opponent.
Upcoming match: Ligue 1 home match against Nancy on Mar. 9 |

Fact File
League Record: 23-2-3, first place, Premier League (England)
Domestic Cup: Will play Chelsea in a quarterfinal tie at Old Trafford on Mar. 10
Europe: Eliminated from Champions League after 3-2 aggregate loss to Real Madrid
Last five matches: 3-1-1
Summary:
Perhaps United doesn’t deserve to drop all the way down to this spot, but the fact remains, they will not be standing amongst Europe’s final eight. Now, the Red Devils must quickly shift their focus to Sunday. If they lose to Chelsea in the FA Cup quarterfinal, they, like Barcelona, suddenly could find themselves with only one trophy when a Treble seemed a real possibility not too long ago.

| World | 2018 | 43 | World Club Power Rankings: March 7-13 | 31623167 | AC Milan | AC+Milan | World | Last week: 8
Fact File
League Record: 14-6-7, third place, Serie A (Italy)
Domestic Cup: Knocked out by Juventus in the quarterfinal stage.
Europe: Holds 2-0 first leg lead over Barcelona in UEFA Champions League round of 16. Second leg at Camp Nou on Mar. 12
Last five matches: 3-2-0
Summary:
Back when Milan played Lazio in October, it lost 3-2 and plummeted down to 15th place in Serie A. This past weekend, Milan won the reverse fixture 3-0, elevating them to third place. It’s been an incredible turnaround, and all eyes will be set on the Rossoneri this coming Tuesday as they bring a two-goal advantage into their second leg against Barcelona. Win there, and Milan will quickly draw comparisons to last year’s Champions League dark horse winners Chelsea.
Upcoming match: Serie A road match against Genoa on Mar. 8 |

League Record: 16-5-0, second place, Primeira Liga (Portugal)
Domestic Cup: Defeated Rio Ave Futebol Clube 2-1 on Feb. 27
Europe: Mar. 13 UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg match against Malaga at the Rosaleda
Last five matches: 3-2-0
Summary:
Porto stays in the No. 9 spot after a scoreless draw against Sporting. Still looking for some respect amongst our voters, Porto could do a lot towards improving its spot by getting past Malaga and moving into the Champions League quarterfinals next week.
Upcoming match: Primeira Liga match at home versus Estorilon Mar. 8 |

| World | 2018 | 43 | World Club Power Rankings: March 7-13 | 31623169 | Atletico Madrid | Atletico+Madrid+ | World | Last week: Unranked
Fact File
League Record: 18-35-5, second place, La Liga (Spain)
Domestic Cup: Will meet Real Madrid in Copa del Rey final
Europe: Eliminated from Europa League by Rubin Kazan (round of 32)
Last five matches: 3-2-0
Summary:
Atletico had a great chance to shrink Barcelona’s La Liga lead to nine points over the weekend, but instead were held to a scoreless draw by Malaga. Still, Atletico has an outside chance if Barca continues to struggle, and after beating Sevilla in the Copa del Rey semifinals, has a chance to put the ultimate hurt on La Liga’s duopoly: beat rival Real Madrid in Barcelona’s Camp Nou for a trophy.
Upcoming match: La Liga clash versus Real Sociedad at Vicente Calderon on Mar. 10 |
