Liverpool
ranked number one team in Europe

| LIVERPOOL will go into the forthcoming season as Europe's
number one ranked team. The Reds top UEFA's official rankings thanks to their Champions League performances over the past
five seasons. Having won the competition in 2005, been runners up to AC Milan in 2007 and made it through to the semi-finals this
year, Rafa Benitez's team has accrued more ranking points than any other club in Europe. Liverpool top the rankings table with 104.284 points, giving them a one point lead over Italian
giants AC Milan.

Next on the list are Chelsea and Barcelona, with Arsenal in sixth and current Champions
League holders Man United in seventh. Other British
teams on the list include Newcastle in 19th, Rangers in 20th, Middlesbrough in 27th, Spurs in 31st, Bolton in 41st, Everton
in 44th and Celtic in 52nd. Liverpool have moved up
from third to first thanks to last season's run to the semi-finals, meaning they top UEFA's rankings for the first
time since 1985. Their recent form in the Champions
League also means that they will go into the qualifiers for next season's competition as number one seeds and will thereby
avoid the other seeded teams when the draw for the qualifying rounds is made in July
