Ghana dropped a couple of spots down the Fifa rankings in the latest rankings.
This time, the IFFHS - the International Federation of Football History & Statistics - have brought out the World Club rankings. Barca are unsurprisingly, at the top, with Man United second.
That is to be expected.
The first African team to rear its head on the log is Al Ahli of Egypt in 51st. No surprises there.
After that you have to go all the way to 71st to see another African team: Al-Merreikh Omdurman (Sudan)....before going two places down to find Coton Sport Garoua (Cameroun).
98th belongs to Etoile Sportif d Sahel (Tunisia)
