Italy close ranking gap

Italy are closing on England and Germany in the UEFA ranking after Napoli and Milan’s successful preliminary round runs.

While Spain are still comfortably on top, the next three are now within 1.5 points.

France have also been left further behind in fifth.

The ranking does not have quite as much importance as it once did, because from next year there will be four Serie A entrants into the Champions League regardless.
