According to Tuesday evening results, there were two decisions in the race for the fifth Champions-Platz League. Due to the victory of FC Arsenal against Real Madrid (3-0), the Premier League in the remaining towers can no longer be moved from the first two rows in the UEFA one year ranking and can therefore plan with five participants in 2025/26. The opposite is the case with the Bundesliga.
Due to the defeat of FC Bayern against Inter Milan (1: 2), the three remaining German participants have no chance of passing in front of Laliga (21,678) in the last KO games at the last KO games. Only series A (20,187), which also has three iron iron with Inter, Lazio Rome (Europa League) and AC Florence (league of the conference), can still be dangerous for the Spanish League.
Interesting: last year, the order had looked at the opposite. In the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund took advantage of as a fifth of the extraplatz painting, in which Serie A distant Bologna. With eight participants in the three European competitions, all the points collected are shared by eight – the Premier League and Laliga, on the other hand, started the race with only seven candidates and benefit now.
According to the Champions League reform: four other departure places
The Champions League has been fundamentally redesigned before this season. The group phase was replaced by a league – by 36 instead of 32 teams. As already described, two of these newly created places are allocated through the current association coefficients, the other two as follows: the starting place three goes to the club, which becomes the third in the table of the fifth best league in Europe according to the UEFA title coefficient, which currently corresponds to the French League 1. Position of departure Four obtains a national holder of the title of a smaller league on the master of the Champions 1 League.
For Germany, the 2025/26 season remains with seven representatives in the European Cup. The first four of the Bundesliga participate in the Champions League, in the DFB Cup winner and in the League Fifths in the Europa League and the sixth in the League of the Conference League. However, there may still be changes if VFB Stuttgart becomes the winner of the Cup and also has a place in the Champions League or in the Europa League via the League (to the rules: this is how the classification of the coefficients of the association club is calculated).
