May 9, 20196 yr So if Chelsea beat Arsenal in the final, what happens to that UCL qualifying spot? Chelsea are already in the UCL next year based on a top 4 EPL finish. Would the 5th place team get in if Chelsea were to prevail against the Gunners?I know in the Champions League with 'pool vs spurs...salzburg(austria league) gets the auto slot that would be either teams league slot
May 9, 20196 yr 27 minutes ago, mdmost said: What happens if an English team win the Europa League? Arsenal and Chelsea are both in the Europa League semi-finals and are the two favourites to lift the trophy in Baku. If either of them win the tournament, they will qualify for next season's Champions League group stages. If the winners finish outside the top four in the Premier League (which is likely for Arsenal), it will mean five English teams will be in the Champions League. However if they do finish in the top four (as Chelsea have), then England will not get an extra spot. The team who finish third in the fifth-ranked league - France - will go into the Champions League group stages instead of the qualifiers. There is no Champions League spot for the beaten finalists - so Arsenal will need to win the tournament (unless they finish in the top four). For Arsenal to finish top 4, they have to win at Burnley, Spurs have to lose at home vs Everton and Arsenal has to make up an 8 goal, goal differential. If that happens it means the death of Spursy didn’t even last a week.

EPL is not doing this on the strength of English players The top EPL teams are dripping with Belgian players and Belgium made England their bitch in the 3rd place game. Now Belgian players are the keys to to many of the teams' success. Add the Belgian's neighbors to the north, the Dutch, plus Brazilians, several African countries, Fenchies, Spaniards, a South Korean, Danes, Krauts... There are a few English players who actually contribute to the 4 EPL teams in the two different finals, but the teams are largely in the finals due to the money that the TV contracts bring in, not because the quality of 3 Lions development. And their managers are: Kraut vs Argie, and Spaniard vs Italiano ...while another Spaniard manager (most probably) won the league for the second year in a row with the help of his Belgian captain. ...but "Yeah England!"

Each club only gets 6k in a 68k stadium. That's just evil and unforgivable. UEFA is bullshit. Let real fans go to these matches.

May 24, 20196 yr reports are coming out that the stadium might be half-empty for what is ostensibly the second biggest European soccer match of the season. 😂 wut?

May 29, 20196 yr Spoiler Normally this would make me happy, then I realize Pulisic has to go into this situation next year.
May 29, 20196 yr I wonder if TNT had a wardrobe meeting for these studio hosts. "hey guys, we want lots of skinny jeans, untucked shirts and your wildest pair of shoes. Let's go make television magic!'
