Europa League next season....

[DJS]

Supposing Spurs finish 6th next season but win the Europa League - does that mean there'd be 5 English clubs in the Champions League for the season after, or would the side finishing 4th in the league be dropped down into the Europa?

 

Always thought Uefa had issues with letting 5 English clubs in the Champions League & I've yet to see clarification on this.

 

Anyone know?

[Falconhoof]

I don't know the answer but Spurs aren't winning it.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

I doubt it purely for the following situation.

 

If a team from a country that only gets one spot wins the EL and finishes 2nd in the league it would then mean they qualify ahead of the champions which would be a mockery

[SkippyjonJones]

I thought that the winner gets in with no cost to their countries number of places - unless they already have 4. only then does 4th place drop out.

that's fair enough I reckon

Should add extra interest to EL next season

[JGL]

Fairly sure England would get 5 CL spots in that instance.

The major leagues will be allowed up to five participants in the Champions League

Cheers for that. It gives a definitive answer, which is what I was looking for.

would the UEFA cup winners be allowed to be drawn in the same CL group as another club from their domestic league.

e.g. like us and Chelsea in 2005/6

Do 3rd place teams from the CL group stages still go into the Europa ?

think so

 

we should do that, then win the Europa cup and get back in the CL that way

If we are to qualify next season by winning a trophy, I can think of a better one
