Sports lover Nairalanders oya over to you.


What if Liverpool had qualified for the UEFA champions league by securing a place among the top four in the english premiership table...and eventually win the europa cup? Will there be a recommendation for another english club to participate in the UEFA?

nothing much would have changed. Why? Because it is only top 4 of the top 3 ranked countries that qualifies for UCL. So they would have qualified as 4 placed team and via Europa winners, although they will not play 3rd qualifying round.


Same way UEFA does not say ''since you have won the league (already qualified for UCL) and may be you also win the UCL (defending champion) that the 5th palced team should qualify for UCL'' e.g Madrid and Barca winning the last two. No no... It doesn't work that way, according to their rules though.







There are lots of permutations.

Another scenario is this..... Lets say Man city were in the UCL final and they happen to win it, but manages to finish out side the top 4. And liverpool wins the Europa league. Then the team that finished 4th will not qualify for UCL but Europa league.




Why? UEFA rules states the winner or the defending champion of the champions league must return to defend the title (Chelsea 2012). And it also states ''no league can produce morethan 5 teams for UEFA competitions'' so it therefore means.. Man city (suppossed defending UCL), liverpool (suppossed Europa winner) and the top 3 teams qualifies. 4th placed misses out.
