This is the third season where the Europa League winners have qualified for the CL. On all three occasions said team didn't qualify for the CL via the league (Sevilla x2 + United) so the winner's respective nations have had 5 teams in the tournament. So far there hasn't been an occasion where 5 have made it to the last 16, albeit there have only been two of said occasions.Does anyone know if five clubs from the same country ever made the round of 16 before?
The only other time a country's had 5 teams in the tournament as far as I can recall was back in 05-06 but Everton got themselves eliminated pretty quickly that time.
