IFFHS (International Federation of Football History & Statistics) has ranked the best European clubs of the last decade 2011-2020.
The UEFA Club of the Decade 2011-2020 has been crowned to Spanish club Barcelona just like the previous decade 2001-2010. This time they are just 95 points higher than their great rivals Real Madrid. However, the most surprising omission from the top 10 is that of Premier League club, Liverpool.
The yearly points scored by the clubs in the Club World Ranking by IFFHS have been added from 2011 to 2020 to determine the UEFA Club of the Decade 2011-2020.
