The imbalance is regrettable. The Premier League, the most disputed world championship, could be represented by five and even six clubs in the Champions League next season, namely the first five in the ranking as well as Manchester United or Tottenham in the event of a coronation in the Europa League. When Ligue 1, which is certainly a secondary division in Europe (and dramatic in terms of competitiveness this season), could only have three clubs in C1 if the future 4th does not go through the last two preliminary towers.
It may have escaped you, but UEFA gave a fifth place to Italy and Germany in the wake of its LDC reform, after the excellent results of the clubs of the two respective countries in 2023-2024 . Yes, there were five Serie A and as many Bundesliga clubs in the first phase. Each year, the two best countries in the three European cuts get an additional ticket. And for the moment, England and Spain are very well placed to obtain a fifth sesame at the end of the current exercise.
France 7th…
France was already unlikely to finish in the top 2 of the season after the elimination of the RC Lens in dams of the conference league. The four hexagonal formations have certainly survived the first phase and the LOSC even finished in the Top 8 (and to climb directly in the round of 16), but the PSG and the Brestois stadium were opposed in dams of the elimination phase direct and AS Monaco was eliminated by Benfica Tuesday evening after a spectacular return dam (3-3). France is 7th best European nation this season, behind Portugal and Germany.
With the surprise elimination of the Atalanta against the Bruges club (2-5 in the cumulative) -while the 3rd of Serie A finished 9th in the Champions League to a zero result of 6th place -, Italy takes A blow in the Top 2. race. Calcio has only five clubs, while the English are still seven in the three European competitions (Chelsea flies up for the moment the conference League) and the Spaniards lost only one representative in his seven clubs in the running.
