Best Football Teams of England

The Premier League is one of the most famous football leagues around the world and many may consider some English teams the strongest clubs in Europe nowadays. It is true that many clubs have strong squads and are frequently fighting for important tiles.

So author Kate Richardson took a look at UEFA’s club ranking and brought to you the list of the 5 Best Football Teams of England. Let’s remember that this list is made by the European Confederation UEFA and not by the author herself.

5 – Tottenham

Based in the city of London, Tottenham is the 5th best placed English club in the UEFA ranking, currently at the 13th position.

The Spurs, as they are known, have already won the English League twice, in the 1971/72 season and also in the 1983/1984 season. However, they were still not able to lift the Premier League, as the competition started after 1990. Their most recent trophy was the Carabao Cup in 2008.

Currently, Tottenham are playing the Premier League, in which they are currently in first place with 24 points after 11 matches. They are also participating in the UEFA Europa League, as they qualified to the knockout stage after finishing first in group J.

Another club based in the capital of England, Arsenal is the 4th best place English club, being placed in the 11th position of the UEFA ranking.

The Gunners are the third best team when talking about the number of titles of the English League, with a total of 13. They are also the only club, until now, who was able to win the English League without losing a single game. Apart from that, they also hold the record of the most successful club in the FA Cup, with 14 titles.

Currently, Arsenal are playing the Premier League and are facing a very difficult moment, as they are in 15th place with only 13 points in 11 matches. The club is also playing the Europa League and qualified for the knockout stage as first place in group B.

However, it took a long time until they were able to finally lift a Premier League trophy, with it happening only in 2019. Apart from that, they are the most successful English club in the Champions League, with six titles.
