Chelsea is a top-seeded UEFA club now for the next season's Champions League. This long-due status will ensure that Chelsea won't face another top seeded club next season in the group stages of the Champions League like they faced Barcelona (2007) and Liverpool (2006), both of whom were the champions when Chelsea faced them. Chelsea climbed from 14th to 7th in the ratings, and are now tied with bitter Premiership rivals Manchester United at that spot.
This was no surprise following another great season for Chelsea where they won the Carling Cup and the FA Cup, finished second in the league and were knocked out of the Champions League on penalties in the semifinal stage.
The current UEFA ratings for the top 8 are: 1 AC Milan; 2 Barcelona; 3 Liverpool; 4 Inter Milan; 5 Arsenal; 6 Real Madrid; 7 Chelsea, Manchester United.
Chelsea are the only club in the top eight who have not yet won a Champions League title.
