FEATURED, NEWS, SPORTS

A petition against the Barcelona president passed the required 16,250 signatures last month. Under-pressure Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu suggested Monday that "now would be the worst time" to leave his post.

Most confusingly, Liverpool are at just eighth spot in the voting, despite being European champions (until August, anyway) and having won this season's Premier League by a vast margin. Clearly there's a lot to unpack here. There's certainly some debate over what "best" can mean. Your first thought is a team's current glory on the pitch, but there's also things like history, fanbase, stadium, profile, etc some people consider in forming an overall picture.
