UEFA approved a new change to the group stages of the Champions League on Tuesday following backlash around Europe.
UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin said the revisions agreed to at an executive committee meeting in Vienna ensure qualification is based on sporting performance. featured 24 of the 32 slots in the Champions League locked in without the need to qualify annually — a largely closed competition that Super League rebel clubs tried to then introduce with a failed breakaway last year.
“We are convinced that the format chosen strikes the right balance," Čeferin said, “and that it will improve the competitive balance and generate solid revenues that can be distributed to clubs, leagues and into grassroots football across our continent while increasing the appeal and popularity of our club competitions.”
The distribution of additional places means, based on the current status of England it could theoretically have seven teams in the Champions League. That would require English teams to win the Champions League and Europa League while not finishing in the top five in the Premier League.
