• Pep Guardiola's side are also the only English side to have scored enough points to make the top ten
• La Liga's teams dominate the combined league standings, with Girona and Real Madrid topping the list

There is no denying that Europe has some of the biggest clubs in world football.

The Serie A, English Premier League, Ligue 1, Bundesliga and La Liga are considered the top five leagues in Europe, and competition between the teams in these leagues is always tough.

While the English Premier League is often considered the toughest of the five, the other four proved that they have teams that can pack a punch.
