We are ranked as one of the ten best club sides in Europe by multiple sources. This isn't new exactly, but underlines the progress made under ENIC and Poch:
Latest Ranking - Euro Club Index (9th)
World Football / Soccer Clubs Ranking - FootballDatabase (9th)
Global Club Soccer Rankings (8th)
Unfortunately still 19th in the UEFA coefficients though - but they go back to 2013...

Also
9th in Club Elo. We've made a lot of progress, especially the recent jump with Pochettino. The issue now is how to sustain it. We need more quality in the squad, as some of our depth options just aren't good enough to keep us where we need to be (as we can see right now with most of our midfield completely broken).
Yeah, I think we're probably at our ceiling for winning in many ways (trophies being the notable exception) given the relative financial success and/or pulling power of the clubs above us. We need to maintain this standing until we find some way of bridging the huge gaps to the advantages PSG, Real etc have.
