UEFA Rankings

Subject: UEFA Rankings Wed May 28, 2008 11:06 am

It's official. Liverpool are Europe's number one ranked team according to UEFA for the first time since 1985.

The basis for the UEFA rankings is the performance of teams in the European Cups during a five year period.

Having won the competition in 2005, been runners up to AC Milan in
2007 and losing semi-finalists last season, Rafa Benitez's team has
accrued more ranking points than any other club in Europe.

Rafa's men top the rankings table with 104.284 points, giving them a one point lead over Italian giants AC Milan.

Liverpool's recent form in the Champions League also means that
they will go into the qualifiers for next season's competition as
number one seeds and will thereby avoid the other seeded teams when the
draw for the qualifying rounds is made in July.

Behind Rafa's team and AC Milan are Chelsea and Barcelona, with
Arsenal in sixth and current Champions League holders Manchester United
in seventh.

Other British teams on the UEFA list include Newcastle in 19th,
Rangers in 20th, Middlesbrough in 27th, Spurs in 31st, Bolton in 41st,
Everton in 44th and Celtic in 52nd.

The coefficients are good for Liverpool. They've won, and been in the semis 3 other times. Pretty solid.
