Club World Ranking:
At the head of the Club World Ranking the shake-up begins ! FC Bayern München - the World's Club Team of the Month for February 2013 After 22 months FC Barcelona have lost the leading position in the Club World Ranking and fallen to 5th place after the defeat in Milan and the elimination from the Copa del Rey. Chelsea FC London now lead the Club World Ranking, for the 4th time since January 1991. But the team from London needs to progress in the national FA Cup and in the UEFA Europa League to maintain their leading position. Of the "Top 7" only Club Atlético de Madrid are without the chance of retaining its good position in the coming months because it is the only club among the "Top 16" that is no longer represented in an international club competition. It is remarkable that England is represented by only one club in the "Top 10", while Italy ("Juve" & "Inter") and Brazil (Corinthians & São Paulo) have two each and Spain has three clubs. Just as conspicuous is that the Republic of Korea has three clubs and Ecuador is represented by four clubs among the "Top 100". FC Anzhi Makhachkala is the best-placed Russian team in the Club-World Ranking and SK Viktoria Plzeň (26th) has never been so well placed in this ranking. The continental club competitions of the CONMEBOL, UEFA, CAF und AFC caused total considerable changes in the placings of the teams in the Club World Ranking. The months of March and April will crystallize a lot of movement and not only among the "Top 20" The World‘s Club Team of the Month for February is clearly FC Bayern München who won all their matches in the German Bundesliga, DFB cup and UEFA Champions League in the month of February and in these matches conceded only two goals. The team from Munich amassed the highest number of points worldwide in the month of February (42). In the "Top 100" there are clubs from 36 countries: 65 clubs from the UEFA, 26 from the CONMEBOL, four from the AFC, three from the CAF, two from the CONCACAF, and none from the OFC. The following leagues are represented by the most clubs in the "Top 100": Brazil (8), Spain (7), England (7), Germany (7), Italy (6), France (5), Argentina (4), Ecuador (4) and the Ukraine (4). The "Top 10" for each of the four football continents - South America, Africa, Asia and CONCACAF - are as follows: 4. SC Corinthians Paulista São Paulo / Brasil
