Top Ten European Football Clubs of 2012

The Top Ten

1 Chelsea F.C. Chelsea F.C. Chelsea Football Club is a professional football club in London, England, that competes in the Premier League. Founded in 1905, the club's home ground since then has been Stamford Bridge. Chelsea won the First Division title in 1955, followed by various cup competitions between 1965 and 1971.

Chelsea is with no doubt the best because they always beat the big teams and the reason why the other teams envy chelsea is because they know that chelsea is the best CHELSEA FOR LIFE

€They won the Champions League this year so of course they should be ranked the highest. It makes no sense that Barcelona and Real are ranked higher when they've only topped their domestic league which is considerably easier than the PL.

They won the champions Leauge this year it's the league where the very best European teams play each other. So yes this year they are the best team in Europe.

Chelsea had a tough time before the champions league but after that they regained form. And plus in the euro cup Spain bought to chelsea players on they both scored goal

2 FC Barcelona

5 Out of 5 Match Wins So Far in This Season of La Liga. Best Striker in World- Messi. Best Midfielder in World- Iniesta. Best Defender in World- Pique. And Guess What? David Villa is Back in The Side Too. - ankittayal1

Up barca. Best team in the world.

Immense history, best players and no sugar daddy. Play football the way it should be played

Chelsea sucks. They are so damn bad in the EPL this season! Barca is the best, and everyone knows that. Even though I am personally a fan of Barca, real Madrid should still be ahead of Chelsea. Bayern and Milan too.

3 Real Madrid Real Madrid Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, commonly known as Real Madrid, or simply as Real, is a professional football club based in Madrid, Spain.

Real Madrid is AT LEAST the 2nd best team in the world right now. The only team challenging them for the best team in the world is Barcelona. They showed fantastic skill and consistency winning la liga with a record amount of points last season. If they show up barca next year and win the champions league, which is very possible, they will have cemented their spot as the best team in the world. I can assure you that if either Barcelona or Real Madrid played in the Premier League, they would win with ease as they do in la liga. If Chelsea were a better team they would have finished in the top 3 of the PL. They won the Champions League with counter attacks and a lot of luck. I was happy to see them win but they struggled in nearly all their games in Champions League play and cannot be called the best based on them

Legends play for real madrid...
Zidane, ronaldo, cr7, iker, kaka, beckham.. Very legend plays for madrid
Imma madrista forever... Real madrid till I die! Only real madrid deserves to be number 1 position.. Rest all clubs are not as best as real madrid...! Real madrid has history and has money and has die hard fans and has qualities to deserve number 1 position... HALA MADRID!

Winning the La Liga with 100 points (a Great Feat). Reaching the Semi-finals of Champions League. They have been the best team this season. They deserve to be on the number 1 spot!

Best team forever higuain Ronaldo kaka ozil pepe sergio ramos and many more they can beat anyone anytime

4 FC Bayern Munich FC Bayern Munich Football-Club Bayern München e.V., commonly known as FC Bayern München, FCB, Bayern Munich, or FC Bayern, is a German sports club based in Munich, Bavaria

Bayern will be the best team starting 2018 when their stadium is fully paid of an many more millions (30-40M Euros) will be available each year. Also T.V. money in Germany will increase every 3-4 years and catch up with the Premier League by 2020.

Despite playing a great football, Bayern only managed to be second in every competition, including the home loss at the C.L. final - MatrixGuy

Fc bayern munich is the best team in the world

6 AC Milan AC Milan

The club that has been most successful in European football

Has 8 trophies of Champions League, problem?!

Milan preserves a better postion than 7th. Even if Atletico and Athletic have won and got into the final of Europa League 2012.

7 Liverpool FC

One of better teams in PL but unfortunately without luck on their side

Oh jeez more on Chelsea! This might have been a year ago but Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-1 when we were in THE RELEGATION ZONE then we went to 8th and the team was really down then I don't know why (probably unlucky), they got back up and kept fighting. Not just there huge fan population but recently they beat Man united 1-0 because we have Daniel Sturidge on our team with him and Gerrard plus the defense and great others we are practicly invincible! YOULL NEVER WALK ALONE WHEN YOU SUPPORT THIS TEAM!

I, m loved liverpool good luck

Suarez and sturridge could make it for liverpool

The Contenders

11 Juventus Juventus Juventus Football Club S.p.A., colloquially known as Juve, is a professional Italian football club in Turin, Piedmont.

We are the best team in the world

12 Manchester City Manchester City Manchester City Football Club, commonly known as City, is a football club in Manchester, England. Founded in 1880 as St. Mark's, it became Ardwick Association Football Club in 1887 and Manchester City in 1894.

They won the premier league and top contenders to win it this season. They should at least got to be in the top 5 maybe top 7. Most teams in the top 10 are only in that position because of their trophy history. This is 2012 best European teams we are talking about here, not all time

You gotta be kidding me. City should be at least at 8th. They won the BPL title in the last 15 seconds and that was the best moment for the citizens.

They play fine fotball and are the reining English champion

Best ever team in the barclays ayae yeye we the best power to the citizens noisy neibourgs]

13 Athletic Bilbao

PSG was one of the greatest football club on the beginning 1990.
Today the club reappars in front of the european scene with great players and very famous coach ancelotti.

15 Valencia
16 Galatasaray

Did a great job, and went all the way to the Quarter finals against Real Madrid, was close to make it. But I don't think there really was a hope after the 80 minutes, when Galatasaray needed to score 2 goals, Fatih Terim voted as top 5 manager of the year, since he made Galatasaray champions in the superlig 2 years in a row, and made it to the quarter finals!

17 FC Porto

One of the most succesfull clubs ever

18 FC Internazionale Milano
19 S.L. Benfica S.L. Benfica Sport Lisboa e Benfica, commonly known as Benfica, is a Portuguese sports club based in Lisbon, Portugal.

Champions League fifth best team in the season

It's one of the most prestigious club in the world, not only to have 2 Champions League, 32 Portuguese Premier League, 25 Portugal Cup, 4 Supercup and 4 League Cup, but also because the have been to the Europa League final a lost with injustice against Chelsea. Benfica played a very good football in the final and deserved to won that. FORÇA BENFICA!

20 Newcastle Newcastle
21 Apoel FC

Became the first Cypriot team to get out of the C.L. group stage - MatrixGuy
