How so? Arsenal, Liverpool and Sevilla are all ranked higher than Dortmund by UEFA and are not currently in CL qualification spots, and Roma higher than all the rest.
Monaco (+1 for France)
FC Salzburg (high coefficient champs)
Borussia Dortmund, Tottenham (coefficient)
Liverpool and Arsenal would have to finish in a UEL/UECL place to take a UCL coefficient spot.

So the new convoluted Champions League will be with us from 2024. Set to feature an enlarged single group stage first up, where clubs will play 10 (TEN) matches to determine a top 8 who automatically qualify for R16, with clubs in 9th to 24th (of a 36-team league) entering play-offs to determine the other 8 qualifiers (and I'm assuming that R16 round is then seeded).
Most controversial part of the proposal set to be approved is the inclusion of two 'wildcard' spots for the highest ranked teams by UEFA coefficient who don't qualify for the competition through their league system, which will make it near impossible for the biggest clubs ever to miss out (because you can only improve or maintain your UEFA ranking by playing in European competition).
Looking forward* to seeing how UEFA ensure that each team's ten fixtures are of equal 'strength'. Will presumably be done again by UEFA rankings, which is fine if your 'best' opponent is ranked 5th or 6th, not so much if it's the top seed.

URZZZZ City (again) getting the rub of the green, feel for Dortmund who have been shafted by two poor refereeing decisions
Now hope Madrid win it but can see the winner coming from the PSG City semi

Glad we have two teams remaining but hope City get beat at some point as I don't want them doing the quadruple

WestYorksRoyal Think it's safe to say Pep got his management of Foden bang on. Add in Bellingham's performance over 2 legs and it's an exciting time to be an England fan.

Winston Biscuit (unashamedly nicked off a football podcast) 'how on earth have we ended up with Real Madrid being the good guys out of the 4 teams in the European Cup semi finals?!'
