The 2021-22 campaign has been an entertaining one so far, with teams challenging strongly to win their respective leagues. Given the competition, it is likely that finding the winners and other positions of the majority of leagues will go down to the wire.
Winning on a regular basis is not an easy task irrespective of the quality of the team. Yet plenty of clubs have managed to do so and are currently doing very well in their individual leagues.
Top clubs have been quite dominant this season
The majority of the big clubs have done well this season in their bid to win their respective leagues. In the process, they are having a good run of wins right now. On that note, let's take a look at the top clubs around Europe.
Note: Only Europe's top five leagues are considered here.
#5 Liverpool (5 games)
Jurgen Klopp's team have once again been very impressive in the Premier League. Liverpool have recorded 37 points so far in 16 league games with just one loss to their name. They rank second in the Premier League right now with a ratio of 2.31 points per game.
The Reds have done phenomenally well at Anfield without losing a single game in eight matches. They are now on a five-match unbeaten run in the Premier League with Newcastle United up next. The run has seen them record wins against Arsenal, Southampton, Everton, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa. Their last winless Premier League match was a 3-2 loss to West Ham United on November 7.
In the past five league matches, Liverpool have conceded only once. With Mohamed Salah in sensational form, the Reds are very capable of extending this unbeaten run.
#4 Inter Milan (5 games)
The Serie A title race is going to be an interesting one this year. Juventus haven't looked in good form this season, especially after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer.
Inter Milan and AC Milan are now strongly contesting for the title. Currently, Inter are at the top of the table, with 40 points in 17 games, with a ratio of 2.35 points per game.
Like Liverpool, even the Black and Blues have lost only once and have an unbeaten record at home. They are currently on a good run with five wins on the trot in the league.
The last time they failed to win was a 1-1 draw in the Milan Derby on November 8.
In the process, they have registered wins against Napoli, Venezia, Spezia, Roma and Cagliari. Amazingly, they have conceded only twice in those five wins, which was against Napoli. They can continue this impressive run with a victory against Salernitana next.
#3 Atalanta (6 games)
In the last two seasons, Atalanta have really been a lively team in Serie A. They have outsmarted some big teams and most importantly have been very efficient in front of goal.
With 37 points in 17 games this season, they sit in third position on the league table. Atalanta have been on a very impressive run in Serie A, going unbeaten in the last 10 games. They have registered wins in their last five games.
The victories have come against Cagliari, Spezia, Venezia, Napoli and Hellas Verona. Fascinatingly, they have scored 17 goals in these five wins. Their win streak began after a 2-2 draw against Lazio on October 30.
They face a tough game against Roma next to continue this wonderful run.
#2 Manchester City (7 games)
Manchester City have done very well this season, recording 41 points in 17 Premier League games so far with a ratio of 2.41 points per game. The defending champions look strong in their bid to retain the title this season.
As is the case with Pep Guardiola's team, Manchester City have been quite dominant in the league this season. They have registered seven consecutive wins in the Premier League. The victories have come against Manchester United, Everton, West Ham United, Aston Villa, Watford, Wolves and Leeds United.
It was not easy to register these seven wins given the teams Manchester City have faced. But their ability to perform against any team is why they have been so successful in the last decade. They were brutal in their last Premier League victory against Leeds United with a stunning 7-0 scoreline at the final whistle.
Their last winless match in the league came in a shock 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace. City will be hopeful of registering one more win as they face Newcastle United at the weekend.
#1 Real Madrid (7 games)
With the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti this summer as Real Madrid's manager, the club are back at the top of the La Liga table. The Spanish giants have registered 42 points in 17 league games so far with a ratio of 2.47 points per game.
Real Madrid are yet to be beaten at the Santiago Bernabeu this season. Los Blancos have been unbeaten in their last 13 matches in all competitions. In the league, they have won their last seven matches. These wins have come against Elche, Rayo Vallecano, Granada, Sevilla, Athletic Bilbao, Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid.
Their lead striker Karim Benzema has been in superb form this season and was instrumental in those seven league wins. With Cadiz up next, Real Madrid are very likely to continue this excellent form.
