Ranking the 5 highest-rated teams in Europe's top 5 leagues this season

#3 PSG - 6.94

PSG have been on a tear this season.

PSG have had one of the best transfer windows of any club in football history this summer. They have made a spate of high-profile signings, bringing in the likes of Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, Georginio Winjaldum and Gianluigi Donnarumma.

The results are there for all to see. Their Ligue 1 dominance is all but a given; it's the Champions League that they are after. The Ligue 1 giants won their first seven games of the league season. While their juggernaut was stopped by Rennes on Matchday, PSG are widely expected to win the Ligue 1 title in a canter.

In the Champions League, PSG were forced to a share of the spoils against Club Brugge. But they bounced back by beating last season's finalists, Manchester City, to signal their intentions.

Mauricio Pochettino's men are widely expected to make a deep run in the Champions League. With a much-vaunted attack of Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, PSG might just conquer the European frontier too.

#2 Bayern Munich - 7.05

Bayern Munich have had a good start to the season.

Bayern Munich are playing under new manager Julian Nagelsmann this season, but a similar script of dominance is unfolding. They launched their campaign by beating Borussia Dortmund 3-1 in the German Super Cup final.

After seven league games, Bayern are the favourites to win another Bundesliga title. Despite losing 2-1 at home to Frankfurt just before the international break, they lead the standings, ahead of Bayer Leverkusen on goal difference.

Thanks to the imperious form of Robert Lewandowski (13 goals in ten games), Bayern have also fared well in the Champions League. The Bavarian giants have scored eight times without reply in two games, winning 3-0 at Barcelona and beating Dynamo Kyiv 5-0 at home.

Considering their early form across competitions, it wouldn't be a surprise if Bayern win another continental treble.

#1 Liverpool - 7.07

Liverpool are once again a force to be reckoned with.

Liverpool are once again a force to be reckoned with. That's because their defensive talisman Virgil van Dijk has returned from a long injury layoff and has hit the ground running.

Without him for large swathes last season, Liverpool's title defense spectacularly crumbled before they arrested their free fall to finish third. With the return of Van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane among the goals, Liverpool are on a roll this season.

After seven league games, the Reds are the only unbeaten team in the English top flight. Trailing league leaders Chelsea by a solitary point, Liverpool will fancy their chances of a second Premier League title in three years.

In the Champions League as well, the Reds have fared well. They opened with a thrilling 3-2 home win over AC Milan before winning 5-1 at Porto.

It remains to be seen how the season will pan out for them. But Jurgen Klopp's men have definitely made a great start.
