It was a positive week for Italy: Inter’s defeat to Atletico Madrid weighs heavily, but the victories of Juventus, Napoli, and Atalanta in the Champions League, together with the wins by Roma and Bologna in the Europa League, have balanced out Fiorentina’s loss in the Conference League.

👀 UPDATED RANKING, ITALY CLOSE BEHIND GERMANY

As for England, they’re pulling away and heading towards the now standard extra spot, but for second place it’s a real battle down to the hundredths of a point—which means every draw carries a lot of weight. Gazzetta dello Sport has provided an update on the situation.

As you can see from the table, Italy is in third place, just a few hundredths behind Germany, which at the moment would have the extra spot. The battle will be fierce and will likely expand to three countries. As time goes on, Spain will join Germany and Italy, as their top teams are sure to go far in the Champions League.

Portugal and Poland are the absolute surprises thanks to their exploits at the start of the year: their position is bound to drop as time goes on. Legendary Cyprus is hanging on thanks to David Luiz’s Pafos and is even tied with Spain.
