In other words, we evaluate and filter the best performers in the UCL. Assessing all the positions, coupled with the evaluation of a lot of factors and indicators in their games, we can generate the ratings for the players performances. As a matter of fact, in this type of analysis, the type of formation played doesnt influence or limit the ratings system.

Team Average Rating

Accordingly to our algorithm, PSG was the best performing teams until now. While PSG was, for us, the team with the highest average rating, Liverpool was the one that finished with the highest points amount. Despite that, we can see that Atalanta plays really good football, with a Team Average Rating higher than Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter, Manchester City and Juventus.

Best Players

All things considered, and in terms of the best players in the UEFA Champions League, PSG’s Full-Back duo had really good performances. Equally, at a really high level, we can spot Raphinha: FC Barcelona’s Winger has been one of the most consistently great players in the World! A fun fact about this list is the lack of Arsenal players in the Top 10 despite them being well placed in the League Phase.
