The business end of the season is almost upon us and things are hotting up in LaLiga, Serie A and the Premier League.
As we approach the campaign’s final furlong, here are the 10 teams who have risen to the top of our LiveScore Power Rankings after an impressive month…
10. Atalanta — LiveScore rating: 85%
Three victories in March have seen Atalanta boost their chances of Champions League qualification for a fourth straight season.
Serie A’s entertainers racked up 10 goals across their four fixtures last month and are looking impressive at both ends of the pitch.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have created more chances than any other team in Italy’s top flight (12.79 per 90 minutes) but have also allowed the fewest shots against them from inside their own box (5.32 per 90).
9. Manchester City — LiveScore rating: 87%
Manchester City have dropped eight places in this month’s Power Rankings.
Their incredible run of 15 straight Premier League victories came to an end with a 2-0 derby defeat to Manchester United.
But the Citizens immediately picked up where they left off, putting five past Southampton before inflicting a 3-0 defeat on Fulham.
No team in England has scored more than Pep Guardiola’s side (2.13), had more shots (15.53) or registered more shots on target (5.87) per 90minutes.

The three-way battle for top spot in Spain looks set to go down to the wire and Real Madrid kept themselves in the hunt for honours after an unbeaten March.
Talisman Karim Benzema added five goals across Real’s three league fixtures, taking his LaLiga tally to 17 for the season.
7. Atletico Madrid — LiveScore rating: 90%
Atletico Madrid remain the team to topple at LaLiga’s summit and currently enjoy a four-point lead over closest challengers Barcelona.
Diego Simeone’s outfit have kept two clean sheets in a month without defeat and they have now stopped their opponents scoring on 14 occasions this season — the best record in Spain’s top flight.
6. Leicester — LiveScore rating: 92%
Leicester’s quest for Champions League qualification remains on track after securing two wins and a draw in March, leaving the Foxes in third place and seven points clear of West Ham in fifth.
Striker Kelechi Iheanacho is in scintillating form.
The Nigeria international notched five goals in just 246 minutes of league action last month, as well as netting a brace against Manchester United in the FA Cup.
5. Chelsea — LiveScore rating: 93%
&w=650&quality=100)
The Thomas Tuchel revolution continues apace at Stamford Bridge and it is being built on solid foundations.
Chelsea did not concede a single goal across five games in all competitions in March, including two wins and a draw in the Premier League.
And it is far from a a flash in the pan — the Blues have only let in two goals in 10 league fixtures since the German took charge.
4. Manchester United — LiveScore rating: 94%
Thanks to a surprise 2-0 victory at Manchester City, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer secured local bragging rights for Manchester United supporters last month.
The Red Devils followed that up with an impressive 1-0 win over West Ham, with playmaker Bruno Fernandes continuing to pull the strings in midfield at Old Trafford.
No player in England has attempted more passes into the final third this season (30.71 per 90) and his 7.44 expected assists is the highest total in the division.
3. Napoli — LiveScore rating: 96%
It is hard to believe Napoli are considering replacing manager Gennaro Gattuso after a sensational month for the Partenopei.
They are now just two points off Serie A’s Champions League spots after picking up three wins and a draw in March, including victories against Roma and high-flying AC Milan.
The Neapolitans are strong in both boxes — they have had the most shots (16.59) and shots on target (six) per 90 in Italy this season, while also managing the most clean sheets (0.41 per 90).
2. Inter — LiveScore rating: 98%
&w=650&quality=100)
Inter continue to take Serie A by storm and remain on course to secure their first Scudetto in more than a decade.
Antonio Conte’s men won all three of their March fixtures to continue a winning run that now stretches eight games.
They are Italy’s highest scorers (2.41 per 90) and also have the best expected goals (xG) record at 2.04 per match. It would be a major surprise if any of Inter’s rivals caught them now.
1. Barcelona — LiveScore rating: 99%
Barcelona have roared back into the LaLiga title race in stunning fashion.
They are unbeaten in 18 outings and netted 12 goals in their three league games last month.
The Catalans are topping almost every attacking metric this season, from goals scored (2.39) to shots (15.32), big chances created (2.36) and xG (two).
It will come as no surprise that Lionel Messi is the driving force behind their sublime form — he has contributed a total of 31 league goals and assists as Barca continue their late title charge.
