Sevilla have retained their position as the best team in the world for the 14th consecutive month after Champions League wins against Slavia and Steaua.
The rankings produced by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) keeps the Andalucian outfit ahead of Chelsea and Manchester United.
Despite losing two of their four league games in October, the European triumphs have ensured that Sevilla remain on top of the pile of the 350 clubs on the list.
The IFFHS implement a complicated points system based on performances against continental opposition, rather than taking into account any league results.
