A disappointing goalless draw between Manchester United and Barcelona means there is no change at the top of the European Power Rankings this week.

United continue to lead despite not having won a game over the past week - their stalemate at the Nou Camp followed a 1-1 draw at Blackburn - as Barca could not find a win either.

The Catalan giants were held by Espanyol in La Liga at the weekend to leave United tantalisingly close to claiming the inaugural Power Rankings title.

Elsewhere, Julio Cruz's wonderful diving header at Torino lifted Internazionale above Liverpool and into third.

Despite Rafa Benitez's side winning 2-0 in the Premier League at Fulham, their midweek draw with Chelsea in the Champions League prompted a slide to within 0.06 points of Arsenal - who climb from sixth to fifth after strolling past Reading at the Emirates.

Chelsea may have beaten Everton away to keep alive their Premier League title ambition, and trumped that with a priceless away goal in the Champions League semi-final at Anfield, but they drop two places from fifth to seventh regardless.

While mid-table remains stagnant, Milan jump up two places to 14th following their 5-1 annihilation of relegation likely lads Reggina at the San Siro - a game which saw Brazilian midfielder Kaka grab a hat-trick.

Hamburg's 0-0 draw at Berlin sees them move the other way, while Werder Bremen climb one place from 17th to 18th by virtue of a 2-1 away win at Rostock on Tuesday night.

Fabio Grosso's winner for Lyon against Strasbourg takes the French league leaders to 19th.

Finally to Rangers, who fall from 17th to 20th as a result of Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink's last-gasp winner for Celtic in the Old Firm derby. Their place in the top 20 appears secure, however, with Benfica a massive point behind in 21st.

HOW IT WORKS

Scores are based on points per game in domestic league and European games.

Domestic points per game are multiplied by the league coefficient - either 4, 4.5 or 5 - with teams in stronger leagues getting more credit.

Champions League (or Super Cup) victories are counted from the third qualifying round onward as three points for a win and multiplied by a coefficient of 5.

UEFA Cup victories are counted from the first round as three points for a win and multiplied by a coefficient of 4.

Domestic and European totals are then added together. If a side has played in both Champions League and UEFA Cup, its European total is an average of the two scores.

League coefficients:

England, Spain, Italy = 5

Germany, Portugal, France = 4.5

Others = 4

Example: Arsenal

74 points from 35 Premier League games = 2.11 points per game.

Multiplied by league coefficient of five - 2.11 x 5 = 10.57

24 points from 12 Champions League games (including qualifying) = 2 points per game.

Multiplied by Champions League coefficient of five - 12.50

Total score = 10.57 + 10 = 20.57
