The EFL Championship club ranked above Messi & Ronaldo in Opta's Club Power Rankings

The EFL Championship promotion race sees second and fifth in the league separated by only five points. The team top of the league, Coventry City, are currently top of the table by 11 points, as they close in on promotion to the Premier League.

The Sky Blues are flying in the second tier, and have won 25 of their 40 league matches so far this campaign. They are also high up on Opta's club power rankings, sitting 73rd. They are two spots above Al-Nassr, who are 75th, and the Championship team are eight places above Lionel Messi's Inter Miami.

Cristiano Ronaldo's team are currently top of the Saudi Pro League, and the squad is full of international players. João Félix, Kingsley Coman, Mohamed Simakan, Marcelo Brozovic and Inigo Martinez are some of the names who play alongside CR7 at Al-Nassr.

The Saudi side has won all of their last 15 matches in all competitions, showcasing their strong form since the middle of January.

Despite them clearly being an extremely strong outfit, the league leaders in England's second tier are ranked above them in Opta's club power rankings. Eight wins from their last nine puts Frank Lampard's team as the highest-ranked team in the Championship, 15 places clear of the team that is the second highest.

Ipswich Town are ranked 88th, and the third highest is Southampton in 111th.

Burnley are the only current Premier League team to be ranked below Coventry City, and the Claret and Blues are 12 places below Coventry.

With the clear strength Lampard's squad have, it feels like a matter of time before they secure promotion to the Premier League.

Their success in the second tier has translated into their world rankings, seeing them ranked higher than clubs with some of the biggest and best stars the sport has ever seen.
