Congratulations Chelsea and Frank Lampard. It's not easy to qualify with the ban that hindered the club from signing players. Not minding that Lampard came as an inexperienced coach to a huge club like Chelsea, and competing with the very best in the premier league as well as in champions league.

UEFA has confirmed that next season's UCL & UEL places should be decided by sporting merit in each league if this season can't be finished

There are growing fears that the 2019/20 campaign will not be completed due to the indefinite suspension of football in Spain caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The UEFA Executive Committee met today via videoconference. It received updates on the Working Groups established in partnership with the European Club Association (ECA), European Leagues (EL) and FIFPRO Europe.

Of the two scenarios being examined by the Calendar Working Group, both envisage domestic football starting before UEFA club competitions, with one seeking to run the competitions in parallel and the other to complete domestic matches before re-starting UEFA matches in August.

As a result of representations made by the football authorities in Belgium and Scotland, the Committee recognises the issues raised and approved the Guidelines on eligibility principles for 2020/21 UEFA club competitions. The Guidelines reflect the principle that admission to UEFA club competitions is always based on sporting merit.

Therefore, UEFA urges National Associations and Leagues to explore all possible options to play all top domestic competitions giving access to UEFA club competitions to their natural conclusion.

The ideal scenario, should the pandemic situation permit it, is to have the currently suspended domestic competitions completed enabling football clubs to qualify for UEFA club competitions on sporting merit in their original format.

Should this outcome not be possible, in particular due to calendar issues, it would be preferable that suspended domestic competitions would restart with a different format in a manner which would still facilitate clubs to qualify on sporting merit.

While using best efforts to complete the domestic competitions, National Associations and/or Leagues might have legitimate reasons to prematurely terminate their domestic competitions, in particular in the following cases:

• Existence of an official order prohibiting sports events so that the domestic competitions cannot be completed before a date that would make it possible to complete the current season in good time before the next season to start.

• Insurmountable economic problems which make finishing the season impossible because it would put at risk the long-term financial stability of the domestic competition and/or clubs.

If a domestic competition is prematurely terminated for legitimate reasons in accordance with the above conditions, UEFA would require the National Association concerned to select clubs for the UEFA club competitions 2020/21 based on sporting merit in the 2019/20 domestic competitions:

• The procedure for selecting clubs should be based on objective, transparent and non-discriminatory principles. National Associations and Leagues, should otherwise have the ability to decide the final positions in their domestic competitions, having regard to the specific circumstances of each competition;

• The final determination of eligible places for the UEFA club competitions should be confirmed by the relevant competent bodies at domestic level.

UEFA reserves the right to refuse or evaluate the admission to any club proposed by a National Association from a prematurely terminated domestic competition in particular where:

• The domestic competitions have not been prematurely terminated based on the reasons given in these UEFA guidelines or on the basis of any other legitimate public health reasons;

• The clubs were selected pursuant to a procedure which was not objective, transparent and non-discriminatory so that the selected clubs could not be considered as having been qualified on sporting merit;

• There is a public perception of unfairness in the qualification of the club.

It's too early for this felicitation . You might want to sit back and read more on Uefa coefficient table which placed Arsenal, Man united and spurs above us ,how that ranking was done is still beyond me .

By sporting merit, coefficient or any other criteria will not be used except the league table. More so, coefficient is a point earned judging each teams performance in Europe for a number of years, and it's being used for seeding when grouping teams for Eefa competitions, but certainly not for qualifications.
Re: UEFA Confirms UCL Places To Be Decided By Merit If Season Can't Be Finished by contigiency(m): 4:08pm On Apr 24, 2020
Kingberbatov:

For clubs to qualify on merits, it means the likes of:
1. Liverpool
2. Man city
3. Man utd
4. Arsenal
Meanwhile, Leicester, Chelsea, Tottenham and wolves will go to europa league

Then you are contradicting yourself. Because if you talk of merit, then you or any other unbiased person should look at it that all the teams set out one day to achieve three things. One is to participate and be counted among others. Two is to win the league, and three is to qualify for champions or Europa league.

Now towards ending of the league, something unforseen happened. But before it happened, all teams have played equal number of matches. So at the point this thing happened, and you want to end the league, will it not be inappropriate to bring some teams that are behind to the front? Why will you bring teams in 5th and 6th position and displace teams that were already ahead of them? And you call that merit? No, unless you have another dictionary that has a different meaning of merit.

Having scrolled through these comments, I've found out two things.

1. Not everyone with a smartphone is actually smart. Simple reasoning is all that is required or a simple fact check on Google


2. Rivals are definitely scared of Liverpool cus why the hate?


Liverpool set to be crowned Premier League champions after UEFA ruling that effectively takes ‘null and void’ option off the table.


UEFA released a statement after a meeting with its members that insisted that domestic campaigns would be settled on “sporting merit”. Which means the results so far will help decide the final placings.


The Uefa decision is likely to mean the Champions League places will be concluded on a points-per-game basis if the remaining matches cannot be played.


According to The Telegraph , UEFA effectively took the ‘null and void’ option off the table during the confederations meeting. This, they report, means that Liverpool will be named the 2019/20 Champions; regardless of whether the season is finished or not.

Whichever way UEFA's position is viewed, it lacks merit all over.

While the best solution is to have the Championship seen out, the possibility is slim in the face of this pandemic.

I safely assume that almost everybody agrees that the 2019/20 season is Liverpool's to lose, they could yet throw it away just because this is football and nothing else. Nothing is guaranteed!

But it doesn't end there! The 2nd, 3rd and 4th positions belongs to any of the 9 teams in the top 10. There's that mathematical chance! How does UEFA or the Domestic League determine that?

Worse still is the relegation battle. It's at the most delicate and interesting stage. Teams will argue remaining fixtures favour them to climb the table and stay up. And since EPL for example cannot know if or not this claim is true until the match is played, how do you then condemn such teams to relegation?

It is really difficult and a position had to be taken, but to talk about Merit... Don't go there...

If you go through the articles I posted, u will see that it's a point per game basis that will be used.

That the title is Liverpool's to lose is utterly baffling or is It because they lost to Watford (1 game)? City has lost 6 or 7 this season, do you still expect them to get it with Liverpool just needing 2 wins out of the remaining 9? No na

Even if it is possible, however they want to do it, they will, even if it is to be throwing it inside net

Selecting clubs on merits is not based on this season. Go to ESPN for more info
