Liverpool are in the Europa league final against Sevilla (current back-to-back champs) on May 18th. This year, a spot in the Champions League is up for grabs. Seeing as neither team are on pace to qualify domestically, they will both fight extremely hard to win this trophy. It will be more exciting than another Madrid UCL final!

I love that they give a UCL spot to the winner of Europa now.

I have a question though.  Does the winner mean that country will possibly have five spots?  Or does the team finishing fourth in that league just go to Europa next season?

In the case of the Premier League, they would take the 5 spots place. Top 4 would still be safe.

If someone that is top four is in does the country get a fifth?  For example, if Dortmund had won, they already qualify top four in Bundesliga, would the fifth team get their spot?

In that case I think nothing changes and they get their Champions League spot from both winning the Europa League and their domestic performance. I don't think a 5th team gets a spot.

Just realized that winning Europa League places you directly into the UCL group stages. You do not have to go through the play-off round. Which puts it a notch above finishing 4th domestically.

So if you are fourth it gets you an auto then.

If a team that is already in gets the UEL slot then what nation gets the extra slot?

I don't think any extra slots are given out if the UEL winner qualifies domestically as well. Probably just sorted in early qualifying round or something.

La Liga had 5 this year, since Sevilla didn't qualify through standing. A

As long as the UCL Title Holders qualify for groups through league standing, otherwise they go to the final playoff round. Had Man City won UCL and not finished Top 4 in BPL then the EL winner has to play in the final playoff leg. And the 4th place BPL team would be the biggest Villareal fans since their spot would hang in the balance. If both title holders don't qualify through domestic league, then 4th place gets sent to Europa. This would've been gutting for West Ham fans had they been the 4th place team and kinda funny if it had been Man U

      Miserable in all phases of the game

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I know its Payton but he knows football...Dipper ran him off when we had a chance...we need people like this that can evaluate talent.... 'Nix was selected by the Denver Broncos in the first round (12th overall) of the 2024 NFL draft.[33] Nix initially drew the interest of Broncos head coach Sean Payton due to his high completion rate and low negative play differential in college, in addition to an impressive performance in private workouts'. Pretty simple... I bet he threw for coach too.

      If they trade Dowdle…

      By hepcat · Posted

      I swear I’ve seen the writing on the wall since Chuba come back that Dowdle is going to be traded. He is flat out a harder and faster runner than Hubbard and made the offense move better than Chuba, gained more yards per carry and willed the Panthers to victory with two massive performances. But for some inane reason, the coaching staff hasn’t let Dowdle continue his hot streak. There have been trade rumors and I feel like if the Panthers get a mid round pick in return the Panthers will take it. They drafted Etienne and Hubbard is on a big contract. It makes no sense, he’s looked better than any other Panthers player on the offense this year, but he’s not getting playing time with Hubbard back and it seems he’s being shopped for trade.  This team is just infuriating sometimes and it’s no secret why every year they seem to struggle.

      How dumb is Canales?

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      1) The decision to try to trot the FG team on the field to kick a field goal before halftime was completely ridiculous. You are down 16. The offense can come back to the line faster just line up and take another shot.    2) Whatever in the hell this Rico/Chuba thing is sucks. Everyone from the huddle to the media to random other fans on X are in disbelief. Chuba either isn’t what we thought he was or he has lost a step. I’m almost positive the FO doesn’t want to look stupid for paying him and / or Canales doesn’t have the courage to tell him he’s number 2.
