Spain leads in terms of stability index in Europe

"Madridd's "Real" dominance in Europe could be attributed not only to Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo, but also to the core of the squad that is maintained every year. The Football Observatory "CIES" has determined that Madrid's "Real" is the most stable club in Europe in terms of squad composition. The average duration of players in the club, calculated based on the time spent there, is almost six years - 5.84. This summer, Cristiano Ronaldo left Madrid's "Real" after spending nine years here, but even after his departure, many of the team's veterans remain. For example, Sergio Ramos has been playing in the team for 13 years, Marcelo for 11, and Karim Benzema for 9. In second place in this indicator is another Spanish club - "Barcelona". The average number of years spent by players in the team is 5.36. In third place is Munich's "Bayern", which has also maintained a core of the team - players like Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery, and Thomas Muller still play there. The overall average years spent by all players in the club is 5.26. In fourth place is Madrid's "Atletico" (4.17), in fifth is London's "Tottenham" (3.89), in sixth is Bilbao's "Athletic" (3.80), and in seventh is "Manchester United" (3.72).
