Debate often rages as to who are the best teams in Europe right now, and early on in the campaign it truly is hard to tell. With the various nuances in the new Champions League league phase structure, even that doesn't clear too much up. Whilst it must of course be remembered that the standards are different in each league, each season, to try and help determine which top-five league sides are looking the best right now, here at Transfermarkt we have compiled a top-five league table. We will be revealing the top 20 teams from across the Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 each week. To make it fair on the German and French top-flights which have less teams and therefore less games, the table has been based on points-per-game (ppg).
The top-five league table
Currently leading the way with a remarkable 3.00ppg after their 100% win record from their opening nine fixtures are Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. Behind them in second with an impressive 2.72ppg are LaLiga's Real Madrid. They are followed by Premier League leaders Arsenal, who take third with 2.50ppg. Fourth goes to another Bundesliga side in RB Leipzig who boast a 2.44ppg record. Barcelona are up to fifth with a 2.27ppg record, with Borussia Dortmund continuing the Bundesliga's dominance in sixth with 2.22ppg. Serie A leaders Napoli are now seventh with 2.20ppg.
Paris Saint-Germain (2.18ppg & 12 goal difference), Inter Milan (2.10ppg & 12 goal difference), and AC Milan (2.10ppg & 8 goal difference) complete the top 10. Manchester City are the only other Premier League team in the top 20 - the Sky Blues rank 17th with 1.90ppg. Meanwhile, at the other end of the scale, three Bundesliga teams make the top six.
