A run of form is vital for any club in football since the football season is all about momentum. Every football club prefers to keep a winning run alive and try to snap a losing streak as quickly as possible. The slight difference between winning a season-long league and coming second best can often stem down to a matter of few wins and defeats.
Form in football is not static as it changes with every win and every loss. The five following names are the hottest ones in Europe right now. Over the last ten games across all major competitions, these five clubs have picked up the highest number of points.
Note: All form stats are based on league results
#5 Real Madrid - 22 points
Real Madrid is arguably the most prominent name in club football globally. The side from the Spanish capital has won every major trophy that has been there to be won and are the record winners of the UEFA Champions League.
Trending
The current season has seen a highly consistent Real Madrid. They have performed excellently in the league so far, and Carlo Ancelotti has steadied the ship. As a result, the club finds itself at the top of the table and has a six-point lead.
Their performances in the Champions League have been good and the club will face PSG in the knockouts. The only negative has been their premature exit from the Copa Del Rey at the hands of Athletic Bilbao.
#4 Marseille - 23 points
Marseille is one of the old powerhouses in French football. The club has won many prestigious honors in the past and has been the home of several big names in French football.
Marseille is being led by Jorge Sampaoli this season and has several recognized names in their ranks. Polish forward Arkadiusz Milik leads the attacking lineup while youngsters like Matteo Guendouzi and Boubacar Kamara fill the defensive roles.
Recent times have seen a resurgent Marseille side rise to second position in the table. The club has won seven of their last 10 matches. While PSG are ahead by quite some distance, Marseille will push for an outside chance at the title. A solid finish will result in the club securing a spot in the upcoming Champions League, which won't be a bad achievement.
#3 PSG - 23 points
PSG has been one of the most dominant forces in European football in recent times. The club may not be a traditional football giant but they are a rising force in European football.
PSG's attack is arguably the mightiest in the entire world. It features a trio of Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Lionel Messi. The club has several other superstars and plays an aggressive brand of football under manager Mauricio Pochettino.
The club is looking to win another Ligue 1 title and has won seven of their last ten league games. The Parisian club have a tough couple of fixtures coming up against Real Madrid and will be hoping to carry on with their momentum in Europe. The Champions League has eluded PSG for a long time, and Messi and company will look to take that extra step this time.
#2 Bayern Munich - 27 points
The Bavarian giants have lost only one game in their last 10 matches and have been rampant this season. The German club has added several trophies to their cabinet over the years, including continental honors.
Julian Nagelsmann is writing a new story for the German club as they have been extremely dominant in the current season again. They have been led by Robert Lewandowski, who has been in red hot form all season.
Bayern are already favorites to win another Bundesliga title on their already enviable list. They have been consistent in the Champions League as well. Their round of 16 fixtures is relatively more straightforward, but winning the final will be the ultimate aim of the club.
#1 Manchester City - 28 points
Manchester City have been known to go on winning runs. In the last campaign, their league success was built on the back of a fantastic run of games that lasted through several wins and months.
Pep Guardiola is still going strong after all these years and it's amazing how the club manages to cover its weaknesses. There was supposed to be a glaring problem in the striking department. But neither goals nor points have been scarce. The club are unbeaten in their last 10 league games, having won nine and drawing one to fetch an impressive tally of 28 points.
Manchester City has opened a gap of nine points on the top of the table. While the league race is far from over, City have a definite advantage over second-placed Liverpool. The club are yet to win the elusive Champions League title, having fallen one short last season. City will be looking to carry their momentum to win another league and try to win the Champions League title.
