The elimination of Bologna, the safe access to the playoffs of Juventus (excluded from the top 8) and the hope of going directly to the round of 16 of Milan, Inter and Atalanta slightly changes the Italian ranking.
Without Bologna the coefficient will now have to be pushed by the other 7 teams involved in the Champions League, Europa and Conference League. In fact, the points obtained in the ranking for each win/defeat/draw will still be divided by 8.
We remind you that the first two positions guarantee the access of 5 teams to the next Champions League.
The Bundesliga is in the same position as Serie A: Leipzig’s elimination brings the number of German teams remaining in Europe to 7. Furthermore, Hoffenheim’s qualification for the Europa League playoffs is in doubt, given that they find themselves in 26th position. The other clubs are placed satisfactorily: in particular Leverkusen in the Champions League and Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League
The Premier League, on the other hand, is in very good shape: all the teams are still in the running to qualify for all competitions or have already qualified for the round of 16, like Chelsea in the Conference and Liverpool in the Champions League. Paradoxically, the worst placed club is Manchester City, currently in 24th place.
-Spain will have to make up for Girona’s elimination from the Champions League, Barcelona has already qualified for the round of 16 while Bilbao is in the top positions of the Europa League as is Atletico in the Champions League. The other teams should at least qualify for the playoffs, including Real Madrid.
France is not doing well: Nice is at the bottom of the Europa League table, PSG (for now) is outside the top 24 places in the Champions League: their qualification will be fundamental. Brest, Lyon and Lille are doing well.
Portugal is providing performances in line with expectations: in the Champions League both Benfica and Sporting are in mid-table as is Porto who could have been higher in the Europa League. Vitoria Guimaraes, on the other hand, is in 2nd place in the Conference.
