According to the results, the Brasileirão scored 80.8 points, the highest score for a non-European league, surpassing leagues from countries like Portugal and the Netherlands. Ahead of Brazil are the Premier League from England, which tops the ranking with 87.9 points, followed by Italy’s Serie A and Germany’s Bundesliga, tied in second place with 86.2 points, La Liga from Spain, and Ligue 1 from France.
The tiebreaker for leagues with the same score is the number of teams from that country in the top 10 at the moment. Thus, Germany ranks ahead of Italy, as it has Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen as representatives, while Italy has Inter Milan in the ranking.
In the case of La Liga, Real Madrid is solely responsible for boosting its country’s position due to winning last season’s Champions League, as the other Spanish teams had disappointing performances in European competitions.
Following the Brasileirão, the top 10 is rounded out by: Jupiler Pro League from Belgium (79.2), Major League Soccer from the United States (78.2), the Championship (the second division of England) (77.6), and Liga Profesional from Argentina (77.5).
