🔝 Title Race

• Urawa Reds (JAP) are close behind on 73 points, winning 4 of their last 5, building momentum at the right time.

• FC Tokyo (JAP) sit 3rd with 69 points, but recent slip-ups (2 losses in 3) may have cost them a shot at the title.

• Hamburger SV (GER) (69 pts) are tied with FC Tokyo and on a great run (4 wins in last 5), now pressing hard for a top-three finish.

⚔️ Continental Qualification Race

• Newcastle United (UK) (65 pts) and Newell’s (ARG) (64 pts) are in strong contention, both showing mixed form but staying competitive.

• Cerezo Osaka (JAP) (63 pts) and Vegalta Sendai (JAP) (59 pts) are just behind, though Vegalta have struggled with 3 losses in 5.

• Manchester City (UK) (59 pts) are climbing fast after 4 wins in their last 5, pushing themselves into the qualification race.

• Atlético Madrid (SPA) (57 pts) still have a shot but must be consistent to close the gap.

⚖️ Mid-Table

• Crystal Palace (UK) (53 pts) and Unión Española (CHI) (50 pts) lead the mid-zone, but both dropped points recently.

🔻 Relegation Battle

• Austin FC (USA) (43 pts) and Juventus (ITA) (41 pts) hover dangerously close to the drop, with Austin losing 4 of their last 5.
