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

      Some Thoughts on Legette based upon an ex-scout's ranking him WR1 in the draft

      By strato · Posted

      Oh yeah the QB is huge in this stuff. Imagine what Smitty could have done with a surgeon back there. And some more offensive minded head coaches. It was always run heavy. He was one of the best I ever saw and people didn’t know who he was outside of Carolina, for the longest time.

      Front office/scouting staff changes

      For sure, any college scout that touted Bryce Young as worth the first overall pick, needs to be gone. I don’t think the college scouts are so much the issue, I think it is the minds of the decision makers that have the most influence.  If this draft produces, and Morgan was really in charge, maybe Tepper will develop some respect and stay back and let people work.

      Every Xavier Legette target 2023

      I just am not aware of regimens that offer increased velocity which is the biggest weakness I can see in Young (that needs addressing right now). Is it possible to do? Who has done it that we can see as an example? I guess I am saying before I believe weights will give him added zip on the ball, I would want proof that it works.    I think weight room would help him not be pulled down by two fingers, even if they are big strong DL fingers. They are still fingers controlling 185 lbs. So that needs to be addressed but it is a secondary issue behind his footwork and ball velocity. It might help too, in allowing him to retain some velocity while not putting 100% effort into throws. Which should help his ‘deep’ ball.  I agree they can’t fix his footwork on those pistol or gun snaps where he slowly goes backwards and does the tippy toe thing.  Maybe putting him under center and taking the option of that type of drop away from him, forcing him into the classic under center style. Drop and plant and throw. Maybe that would help get around it.
