The top 30 leagues in world football were ranked earlier in 2024 by Opta Power Rankings and it makes for interesting reading. You won't be too surprised to see the English Premier League lead the way, pulling away from their rival European competitions due to their vast riches. That dominance has been evident in European competitions in recent years. With these rankings published annually, this could likely change on the back of how teams from the United Kingdom performed in Europe during the 2023/24 season.
In five of the last six years, there has been an English side competing in the Champions League final, with three English winners. However, that wasn't the case in 2024. Manchester City won the competition at the end of the 2022/23 campaign and are arguably one of the best side in Europe right now alongside Real Madrid. Meanwhile, West Ham won the Europa Conference League last campaign, so it's safe to say that England's top-flight has earned its spot at the top. Now it's time to look at how the rest of the top 30 leagues in the world shape up.
