If I read it correctly the only English clubs in the new format from 2025 will be City and Chelsea unless a different English club wins the next CL In which case they also qualify.

How much is a beer in Saudi?

A stoning

Riyadh ...

June Average daily high 42°, low 28°
July Average daily high 43°, low 29°

No other comment needed re: the 2025 summer format.

In December it's 22° and 10° so a nice winter break from Manchester. Bernardo could be pleased!

It would cost you an arm and a leg.

You're not.

It's the last 3 winners of the CL plus next seasons and then it's the next 8 "best eligible team in UEFA 4-year ranking".

At the moment I think that would include Liverpool & United although it depends on when their 4 year period runs from.

Edit: Barca, PSG, Bayern, Atletico, Juventus, Sevilla, Dortmund & Porto perhaps with Arsenal at this moment in time missing out.

2nd Edit: scratch that, it's limited to 2 teams per association excepting for the CL winners slots. So Sevilla & Atletico would miss out too.

actually, saudi arabia changed a lot lately; believe me; about women's right etc, they are getting ahead of us (turkey) (ok, i am exeggerating a little-they still have a long way to go, but they are on the right track lately). probably you ll buy beer in fanzones (thats what happened in 'Qatar'') maybe some top class hotels...dont know.

I'd just been replying the same.

United and Liverpool are pretty much locked in. Not sure Liverpool can drop out even if they crash out of the Europa without a win, and United are unlikely to drop out of the top 12 teams in Europe. Curiously, United got their best points recently for failing in the CL, but then reaching the final of the EL!
