After facing a genuine threat of a breakaway European Super League, UEFA is looking to revamp the Champions League to include more clubs, and that could see England’s top six all compete in the competition from 2024.
Spurs finished sixth in the last Premier League season, but they couldn’t make the Champions League, because only the top four English teams qualify for Europe’s elite competition.
The Lilywhites have emerged as one of the top teams in Europe and they reached the final of the Champions League in 2019.
Sun Sports says that UEFA is working with the European Club Association to find an acceptable way to please all the continent’s biggest teams and avoid them breaking away from the competition.
It says that UEFA knows that the teams want more money and they have now devised a plan to expand the Champions League to 36 teams.
The teams will be required to play an initial 10 games to ensure that the best sides are left and seeded with other top teams.
The competition will still be open to top four teams, however, two slots will be left open for teams in a country that has the highest UEFA coefficients, which they calculate by performances in the competition over the past five years.
It means that England’s top six will likely get the slots because they are all rated in Europe’s top 15 teams at the moment.
If this works out, Tottenham will not have to finish inside the top four to play Champions League football.
I’m wide awake bredrin.
“make it easier” to enter the champions league? it just devalues the competition even more.only champions should be admitted-the groups should be scrapped..and go back to 2 leg knockout matches.in my opinion. just like the world cup ,the champions league is becoming somewhat of a bore..little respite,too many games,too many bog ordinary teams in competition…if its champions league -it should be for champions only.
Tappa Tappa wake up, you’re dreaming!
José will sign a new contract and will stay at Tottenham till he wins the champions League. After that he’ll manage England. José loves Tottenham more than he’s loved any other club. Pep will pass through Tottenham one day
