Combined Table of Europe’s Top 5 Leagues: Man City the Only English Side in the Top Ten

• Manchester City are currently ranked in eighth place if Europe's top five leagues were combined
• 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.

But how would the top five leagues compare if they were combined?

Sports Brief looks closer at the top ten teams in the table of the combined five European leagues.

1. Girona

Undoubtedly, the biggest surprise of the season thus far has been the performance of Girona.

The Spanish side lead La Liga after 13 games and are currently on 34 points. Girona have won 11 games, drawn one and only lost one.

Their only defeat in the league came at the hands of Real Madrid.

2. Real Madrid

Carlo Ancelotti’s men are used to being at the top of everything, but after 13 games, they trail Girona in La Liga and Europe.

Madrid have won 10 out of their 13 games this season and only lost one, and are currently 32 points.

Their biggest problem at the moment is the number of injuries piling up at the club.

3. Bayer Leverkusen

Under the leadership of Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen are a force to be reckoned with in Germany.

Pep Guardiola’s men have lost two of the 12 games this season in the league and are on 28 points so far.

Diego Simeone’s men are playing some attacking football this season and are six points off the pace in La Liga, having played a game less.

Currently, on 28 points after 12 games, they have only lost twice this season. With Alvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmann firing on all cylinders, Atleti are looking to pose a serious threat in Spain.

With Simeone extending his contract with the club, he will be looking to lead them to another La Liga title.

10. Paris Saint-Germain

The French table toppers would currently be tenth if Europe’s top five leagues combined, having scored 27 points from 12 games.

With no Lionel Messi and Neymar this season, PSG have not hit the heights many expected them to.

They have only scored 29 goals in the league thus far, with Kylian Mbappe going through a bit of a goal drought for a few games this season.
