What an absolute joke. Milan are the #1 side in the World over the past 2 decades :

6 Serie A Championships
1 Italian Cup
4 Italian Super Cups
3 EUROPEAN CUPS (SIX Finals)
3 European Super Cups
1 Intercontinental Cup

That’s considerably more impressive than anything Barca, Man United or Juve managed. Milan should be ranked #1 and Real Madrid #2. Between them they’ve played in more European Cup finals since 1991 than Barca, Juve and Man United have in their entire history! IFFHS clearly don’t allocate enough points to that competition.

I do not much care for the rankings since such rankings rarely reflect the actual scenario.

For me, the top three clubs in the world (counting since club football gained legal status/came under some authority, howsoever you interpret that) are:
1. Real Madrid (anyone saying NO needs to go over football history)
2. Boca Juniors (not sure, but I suppose that they have the record of notching up the most number of silverwares. Could somebody second me?)
3. AC Milan (well, Juventus could come a close second)

Oh, maybe this is off the track….. Any time such club rankings are made, I notice that Manchester United are always somewhere near the top. For Christ’s sake, why don’t these people realise that Man United are not even the best ever club in England! Statistically, Liverpool are the best club in English history.

I think this takes into account the amount of:

-game won per season in any given competition
-goals scored and conceded
-player discipline
-amount of games played per season
-and difficulty of the competition

By these criteria it is only logical that AC Milan dropped 2 places, because they have had a horrendrous season last year (apart from a marvelous road in the CL, they were horrible everywhere else). It is also the only logical explanation for Man Utd to be third in these rankings. (Barca 21 trophies, Juventus 16-2, Man Utd 26).

So, as opposed to the UEFA rankings, which stil have AC Milan as the best club in the world despite them having had a disatrous year and a half, these make some sense.

NB the team which loses out most by the exclusion of the years prior to 1991 is not Liverpool, but Real Madrid. Ajax and Bayern fans should also be unhappy because of this
