Which football teams are the most entertaining to watch: Liverpool, Barcelona, or PSG?

There's no better feeling for any football fan than seeing their team put the ball in the back of the net, no matter how scrappy the game is.

However, there will always be weekends during the season when your own team is not in action for whatever reason. In that scenario, which of Europe’s top sides are likely to provide you with the best entertainment?

ESPN attempted to answer this question with their second-annual 'watchability' rankings – and they dug deep into the statistics to find the answer.

ESPN crunched the numbers to identify the teams you should watch before the end of the season, using a weighted index that includes shots and goals (36%), pressure and intensity (25%), entertaining big matches (15%), verticality (9%), tension (7%), quality (6%), and switches of play (2%).

We've looked at their top 20 sides who play the 'beautiful game' in the most entertaining way.
