Wish we won it, would of made up for last season tbh, still pissed off with lost against ali baba.

I don't know how Pep would have felt having to shake hands with a fascist.

I'm glad we went out to avoid that **** taking credit.

Think English teams have there number, they can be got at as villa and chelsea have shown. Apart from us we bottled it against them from 2 up.

Just tallied up the goals for this season.

English teams 13 goals vs PSG 13 goals. (PSG 5-4 English teams in wins)

The game against Tottenham will be the tie breaker.

So wouldn't say we have their number as such but shows they're not miles ahead like you might think.

England + PSG were miles ahead of anything else this year.

If it wasn't for the PSG and the way the draw was made, Liverpool vs Arsenal would have been the final.

From a money point of view that was just what they needed and also guarantees entry to the next one which may be an even bigger money spinner

Winning it doesn't guarantee you re-entry to the competition. They'll have to win the CL in the next 3 years or be one of the two best ranked English sides in europe over that period and hope no other English sides wins it for a chance to defend their title.

Stop sucking his button mushroom.

Now becoming a propaganda show.

Correct for now. Until they expand it to 48 teams and the previous winner qualifies.

Do you mean Al Hilal? Or are you just being a wanker?

Hmmmmm!

Cheers
Seems strange that the holders don’t get automatic entry

How is it ridiculous? Its the same as putting hands to the face, it's a clear red card offence.

Barely pulled it. Should have done it properly if it meant being sent off.

Is it through uefa coefficient then? You'd of thought the winners of it would automatically qualify for the next one

 

[grandsolo]

It can’t be because he thinks it’s stylish?

It looks like shit, so no.

It's the same for FIFA world cup. EURO as well.

Agreed. I also wrongly assumed the winner would gain entry at the beginning and thought that was the biggest prize available for actually winning it this time.

Yeah the usual uefa coefficient thats used for pot rankings but with the added caveat of only 2 entries per league with CL winners taking priority.

For European team's, its the 4 winners of the CL plus teams with the best coefficient in CL.
2 teams max from the same country but this may change if they want to increase numbers.
PSG have qualified for next tournament and we are currently behind arsenal, Liverpool and Villa in the rankings.

Note: The 4-year ranking determines which UEFA clubs qualify for the FIFA Club World Cup. The ranking is based on coefficient points from UCL only
