Barcelona was undoubtedly the best team in the world in 2015, but it was not the most dominant; the Catalan club may have won La Liga, and leads the table again this term, but there is one team that managed to pick up more points per game.

Across Europe's top five leagues (England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France), it was in fact Paris Saint-Germain which proved to be the most ruthless, picking up an incredible 2.52 points per game to edge out Barcelona.

Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich was not far behind, while current Premier League leader Arsenal snuck into the top five; it was the only English side to make the top 10, however, with Borussia Monchengladbach and Fiorentina outperforming the likes of Manchester City in 2015.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa may be languishing at the bottom of the Premier League table, but at least it isn't the worst team in Europe. The Villans' PPG of 0.65 is narrowly ahead of QPR (0.63), while it is Cordoba (0.40) who picked up the fewest top-flight points in 2015 - ultimately leading to its relegation.
