Manchester United are under fire from Chelsea in Premier League, Champions League and European Power Rankings.

Manchester United still lead the way after reaching the Champions League final and getting their Premier League season back on track.

But their main rivals - as in real life - are now Chelsea, not Barcelona. Avram Grant's men have made an impressive late-season charge and are now hot on United's tail.

Barça plummet from second to fifth on the back of some truly useless domestic form, while Liga champions Real Madrid's dreadful season in Europe means they remain outside the top 10.

Bayern Munich were also crowd champions last weekend, but drop three places to 16th as a result of their UEFA Cup exit. Zenit St Petersburg do not even feature in the top 20 thanks to a poor league record of seven points from six games.

HOW IT WORKS

Scores are based on points per game in domestic league and European games.

Domestic points per game are multiplied by the league coefficient - either 4, 4.5 or 5 - with teams in stronger leagues getting more credit.

Champions League (or Super Cup) victories are counted from the third qualifying round onward as three points for a win and multiplied by a coefficient of 5.

UEFA Cup victories are counted from the first round as three points for a win and multiplied by a coefficient of 4.

Domestic and European totals are then added together. If a side has played in both Champions League and UEFA Cup, its European total is an average of the two scores.

League coefficients:

England, Spain, Italy = 5

Germany, Portugal, France = 4.5

Others = 4

Example: Arsenal

80 points from 37 Premier League games = 2.16 points per game.

Multiplied by league coefficient of five - 2.16 x 5 = 10.81

24 points from 12 Champions League games (including qualifying) = 2 points per game.

Multiplied by Champions League coefficient of five - 12.50

Total score = 10.81 + 10 = 20.81
