Here is an intent to elect the best clubs in ***EUROPE***, based on the last 
european standings (which of course may have changed since it was posted):

Italy (currently 8.167 points) still have four clubs in european cups which 
are respectively ranked in their league:
	AC Milan (1) & Juventus (8) & Parma (10) & AS Roma (14)

France (7.500) have three:
	AJ Auxerre (3) & Paris St Germain (4) & Olympique Marseille (5)

Holland (7.000) have three:
	PSV Eindhoven (1) & Feyenoord Rotterdam (5) & Ajax Amsterdam (6)

Belgium (6.600) have two:
	Club Brugge (8) & FC Antwerp (9)

Russia (6.500) have two:
	Spartak Moscow (1) & CSKA Moscow (5)

Portugal (5.800) have two:
	FC Porto (1) & Benfica Lisbon (3)

Spain (5.500) have two:
	Real Madrid (3) & Atletico Madrid (4)

Czeko-Slovakia (5.000) have one:
	Sparta Prague (1)

Germany (4.286) have one:
	Borussia Dortmund (4)

Greece (3.750) have one:
	Olympiakos Pireaus (2)

Sweden (3.500) have one:
	IFK Gothenburg (5)

Scotland (3.400) have one:
	Glasgow Rangers (1)

Romania (2.000) have one:
	Steaua Bucarest (1)

Lets assume there are 20 teams in each league (for the sake of simplicity). 
If the country is awarded X points in the eurocups standings, then the club 
ranked 1 will have X points, the club ranked 2 will have (1-1/20)*X points 
... and the club ranked N will have (1-(N-1)/20)*X points. So we have:

	AC Milan		: 8.167		C1
	PSV Eindhoven		: 7.000		C1
	AJ Auxerre		: 6.750		C3
	Spartak Moscow		: 6.500		C2
	Paris St Germain 	: 6.375		C3
	Olympique Marseille	: 6.000		C1
	FC Porto		: 5.800		C1
	Feyenoord Rotterdam	: 5.600		C2
	Juventus		: 5.309		C3
	Ajax Amsterdam		: 5.250		C3
------------------------- 10 ------------------------- 
	Benfica Lisbon		: 5.220		C3
	CSKA Moscow		: 5.200		C1
	Sparta Prague		: 5.000		C2
	Real Madrid		: 4.950		C3
	Atletico Madrid		: 4.675		C2
	Parma			: 4.492		C2
	Club Brugge		: 4.290		C1
	FC Antwerp		: 3.960		C2
	Borussia Dortmund	: 3.643		C3
	Olympiakos Pireaus	: 3.563		C2
------------------------- 20 ------------------------- 
	Glasgow Rangers		: 3.400		C1
	AS Roma			: 2.858		C3
	IFK Gothenburg		: 2.800		C1
	Steaua Bucarest		: 2.000		C2

However, if we take into account all the clubs of each league, then the best 
24 clubs in Europe will be:

	AC Milan		: 8.167		C1
	FC Inter		: 7.759
	FC Nantes		: 7.500
	Fiorentina		: 7.350
	AS Monaco		: 7.125
	PSV Eindhoven		: 7.000		C1
	Torino			: 6.942
	AJ Auxerre		: 6.750		C3
	FC Utrecht		: 6.650
	Anderlecht		: 6.600
------------------------- 10 ------------------------- 
	Sampdoria		: 6.534
	Spartak Moscow		: 6.500		C2
	Paris St Germain 	: 6.375		C3
	MVV			: 6.300
	Standard Luik		: 6.270
	Spartak Vladikavkaz	: 6.175
	Cagliari		: 6.125
	Olympique Marseille	: 6.000		C1
	FC Twente		: 5.950
	Waregem			: 5.940
------------------------- 20 ------------------------- 
	Dynamo Moscow		: 5.850
	FC Porto		: 5.800		C1
	Atalanta 		: 5.717
	Girondins de Bordeaux	: 5.625

Amazing don't you think ???
