    If we finish 5th, we quality for Europa league.

    At least thats what i got told, i started a thread on it a while back
    I hope you’re wrong otherwise that’s a big change in the rules. Places have always been awarded to leagues and never to particular clubs.
    If true, it’s another massive slap in the face to sporting integrity.

    Just checked. It is the league which receives the extra place. The extra place goes to the two leagues with the ‘highest coefficient’ (whatever that means?) in the PREVIOUS season. This is currently England and Spain.
    The format of the 2024/25 CL competition will also change. Instead of qualifying groups there will be a league structure where each team plays 4 home and 4 away games to qualify for the knock out phase.
    So, basically, 5th position in England should qualify forCL, whoever it is.

    Thats how I read it too - 5th place probably get to CL
    League coefficient is basically all the points of league clubs in europe divided by number of clubs. England usually top or 2-3rd.

    I think we'll do very well to qualify this season.
