Tottenham rise seven places in new UEFA rankings after Europa League win over Manchester United
Tottenham Hotspur’s Europa League triumph has now seen the Lilywhites propel up seven places in UEFA’s latest club rankings.
While Tottenham Hotspur endured an abysmal Premier League campaign, the same cannot be said about their European exploits last season.
Spurs were crowned champions of Europe after they beat Manchester United 1-0 in Spain, Bilbao, at the San Mames Stadium in the final of the Europa League.
That victory was Tottenham’s fourth against the Red Devils last season, and it was the most important of them all, as Spurs ended a 17-year wait for silverware and a 41-year wait for a European trophy, after last winning one in 1984.
The Lilywhites have now booked a return to the UEFA Champions League in the process, for the first time in two seasons, after last featuring in the 2022/23 campaign.
Tottenham climb UEFA rankings after Europa League triumph
Following their impressive Europa League campaign, UEFA has now released a new end-of-season ranking, one that sees Tottenham go up seven places from the previous standings.
In the 2023/24 season, when Spurs did not have any European commitments, UEFA had ranked them in 34th place. However, Tottenham have now climbed seven places and are ranked 27th amongst clubs in Europe.
Tottenham Hotspur are currently above fellow Premier League sides West Ham United and Aston Villa, who are ranked 29th and 46th, respectively, among clubs in the top 50.
The likes of Manchester City (2nd), Liverpool (4th), Chelsea (7th), Manchester United (11th) and Arsenal (12th) are the top-ranked English sides in the 2024/25 UEFA club rankings.
Spurs UEFA score highest in five years after European success
The rankings are calculated by UEFA, who prefer to score things based on a total accumulated over the last five seasons, with points awarded based on performances in European competitions.
For the 2024/25 season, Spurs received a score of 32.250, which is their highest in the past five seasons.
They received a score of 15.000 in the 2020/21 season, 5.000 points in the 2021/22 season, 18.000 points in the 2022/23 season, and no points in the 2023/24 season.
These scores round up to a total of 70.250, which is 32.25 fewer than that of Man United who Tottenham beat in the Europa League final.
