While it's clear that Manchester United has not played like the best club in the world recently, it's equally clear that none of the other top clubs in the world seem to want to take the top spot over. As a case in point, let's look at last week's top six. While United fell to Zenit St. Petersburg in the UEFA Super Cup, four of the five clubs directly behind it in the rankings (Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Roma) all managed no more than a draw or, in Real's case, a loss.

They won it in 2006 after two seasons with high spending on the transfer market on Ronaldinho at first and then to build the team around him that managed to also win the Primera Division twice.
What really impressing though was the quality of football they managed to play. It's the kind of football a team manages to achieve after buying the kind of players that it really needs, for FC Barcelona these were the players bought to complete the team around the smiling Brazilian, a period of accommodation for the core of the player with each other plus, let's not forget, a good manager that knew from the beginning how his team will look like and how he want's it to play.
