On February 4, the CIES announced their selection of the most attacking teams of this season (up to January 30, 2026), with Bayern Munich at number one, Paris Saint-Germain in second place, and Barcelona in third.
The ranking is reportedly based on four metrics: passing distance (shorter is better), passing rhythm during possession, duration of possession, and the percentage of passes received below the knee (on the ground) in the opponent's offensive third.
