@DaleJohnsonBBC Does the PL not get 8 places in in Europe?? Is it not 5 UCL, 2 EL, and 1 UCoL?? Should 7th not be EL and 8th UCoL??

Reminder that if Aston Villa win the Europa League and finish 5th this is the allocation.
1- UCL
2- UCL
3- UCL
4- UCL
5- UCL (Villa as UEL winners)
6- UCL (EPS)
7- UCoL
No Europa League place for Premier League position.
FA Cup could change it slightly.

@FootRankings Why is Portugal ahead of Italy? They have less coefficient points..

🚨 🏴 England will need just ONE DRAW in the Quarterfinals to mathematically secure an extra Champions League spot!
🛑 🏴 England were extremely close to mathematically secure it tonight as all three clubs won and prevailed, but other results didn't suit them!

@mrtimo221476 @TouchlineX This is the first time in like 5 years this has happened bruh

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Number of clubs per Top 5 European leagues qualified for UEFA competitions quarterfinals:
🇪🇸 La Liga: 6
🏴 Premier League: 5
🇩🇪 Bundesliga: 3
🇫🇷 Ligue 1: 2
🇮🇹 Serie A: 2

@A_Laliga_Fan Knocked out Real Sociedad and Athletic Club out of the Europa while being 15th last season btw
English
La Liga teams handed them TWENTY (20) of it.
Wannabe tough league

@charlescerb @Bd_irB_ll That 3-0 to Feynoord.. the worst Bayern performance I've ever watched, bro.. genuinely shocking. I couldn't believe it, I'd never believed Bayern could've ever played that bad given their stature.
English
@Timy1475 @Bd_irB_ll Shocking is harsh. There were always going to be growing pains going from Tuchel to Kompany.
English
My thing is when you create a metric and it tells you Newcastle and Villa are better than Bayern how do you not go back to the drawing board?
Opta Analyst@OptaAnalyst
There was some talk last season that the Premier League was weak compared to previous years, but five English teams won major trophies for the first time ever, and according to the latest Opta Power Rankings, six of the top nine teams in the world are from the Premier League.
English
@Eugene43708771 @Bd_irB_ll True tbf. PL teams are greatly overrated in this model. But I think Villa earned it's place last season. Chelsea, City and Newcastle should be lower/ not even there imo
English
@Timy1475 @Bd_irB_ll City were worse and didn't even make it out of the RO32.
The only explanation I can see for this is the Prem being given an excessively huge multiplier that sorta broke the model.
English
@VSerge01 @_TomScholes No, they don't. The PL is better in Europe compared to any other league, and it's not close. Look at UEFAs coefficient. PL teams face much tougher opposition week in, week out, and are more fatigued, but a decline in attacking quality is the reason for poor this performance.
English
@_TomScholes The English media have a circular "argument " when it comes to EPL teams in the Champions League. If EPL teams are doing really well in the CL it highlights the strength of the EPL. If EPL teams are doing badly in the CL, it, erm, highlights the strength of the EPL. 🤣🤣🤣
English
When Bayern/PSG went out, it was because Bundesliga or Ligue 1 was too weak. When four PL teams get knocked out, it’s because the league is too strong. Nonsense.
And no, Burnley are not better than 11 teams in Serie A…

@A_Laliga_Fan I think they will. The European trophies are bound for laliga this season. And we may get to see two finals with only Spanish teams. Maybe. Just Maybe
English
Breaking 🚨:
We are almost there!!!
Betis, Celta and Rayo advancing to the quarter final will help us a lot!
English
@Jacobsen12345 @stompey__ On the money point, you can make that about literally any club anywhere. Are Madrid really better than Benfica ordinary they just spend more. If you adjust for spending on player purchases then it becomes clear that Madrid isn't good they just have a lot of money.
English
And also: How would the data look if you normalized for financial differences? I mean, PL teams spend much more than subtop, medium or lower ranked teams in Bundesliga, La Liga etc. Just take Newcastle vs. Barcelona: According to Claude Newcastle have spend almost 3x on the squard compared to barcelona. Are they getting 3x as much football value out of those money? No.
So my prediction would be this: Try normalizing the OPTA data for financial capabilities, and you would see the PL teams drop by a huge margin
English
Great data, but the wrong conclusion. The real answer is in the data.
Currently the Premier League have the by far highest floor of any league. Almost any Premier League team would likely qualify for Europe in a different league.
Just take Spurs and Nottingham as an example. Relegation battle in the Prem while also making the knockout stage in European competitions. Do you understand how ridiculous that is?
However, as you can see in the data, outside of Arsenal, England currently lack teams at the highest level. Which is also why, once the big games comes around they fall apart.

@Jacobsen12345 @stompey__ Newcastle do not spend 3x on their Squad compared to Barca, lol. Maybe on purchasing players but Barcas wage bill is twice that on Newcastle's. They spend twice what Newcastle spend on their wages EVERY single season, lol.
English
@Mitchellxx1 @ANTHONYHANCOX3 @FootRankings @LukaszBoz What about all 3 English teams qualify? Surely it's not possible for Germany/Portugal to reach 24.5 points no?
English
@ANTHONYHANCOX3 @FootRankings @LukaszBoz 2 of the following 3 things happening:
1. Porto eliminated
2. At least 2 of 3 German teams playing tonight eliminated
3. All 3 Spanish teams playing tonight eliminated

🚨 To Secure an Extra Champions League spot:
🏴 England - 100%
🇪🇸 Spain - 75%
🇵🇹 Portugal - 13%
🇩🇪 Germany - 11%
🇫🇷 France - 0.5%
🇮🇹 Italy - 0.2%
✅ Top 2 nations will secure an extra Champions League spots!

@F_BuzzerBeater @fmeetsdata Yes, high ticket prices. I remember watching United's 2-1 win over Chelsea last year. Ticket cost £190.. It was "padded" seating but was actually just a regular seat.
English
@fmeetsdata English teams can’t fill their stadiums.. what’s the reason the english are no longer interested in football as they used to be? High ticket prices?

🏟️ Attendances | 🔵 UCL R16, Leg 2 (17-18 Mar)

49,155 🇵🇹 Sporting CP v 🇳🇴 Bodø/Glimt
35,811 🏴 Chelsea v 🇫🇷 PSG
In this crazy scenario 🏴 England would send 8 teams to Europe (assuming FA Cup is won by a Top 6 team):
7⃣ teams to 🔵 UCL
🚫 NO teams to 🟠 UEL
1⃣ team to 🟢 UECL
English
Yes.
7th-placed team in 🏴 EPL would qualify for 🔵 UCL if both these scenarios happen:
▪️🏴 Liverpool win 🔵 UCL and finish 5th-6th
▪️🏴 Aston Villa win 🟠 UEL, and finish 5th-6th
ruben@SpursfanNL
@fmeetsdata What would happen if Villa wins uel and Liverpool wins ucl and finishes 5 and 6? Would it be 7 teams in the ucl?
English
English
@DidiBiggs @Timy1475 @CWeatherspoon_ That's the reason why it is higher, but on the pitch success should trump anything else. Bodo/Glimt going possibly at least 2 rounds further should far outweight anything Inter get.
English
Get through against Sporting and Bodø's Champions League revenue alone this season will be around €65million
The combined revenue of the other 15 clubs in Norway's top division in 2024 was €158million, or €10.5million per club
Kish@Kish_P14
Surely this CL run will drastically change Bodo as a club forever Like financially they’ll be earning insane amounts relatively
English
@HowardWalo35048 @Sxne19iv2 SAF would've never been behind this Arsenal team, literally could never happen. 13 PL's in 20 years = 65% win rate is so much better than 6 in 10 =60% win rate. Pep could never reinvent a team like SAF, that's why he's leaving. If he stayed in the PL he'd make city mid table.
English
@Timy1475 @Sxne19iv2 He lost to fucking blackburn rovers under kenny dalglish lol, and. And he never achieved 4 in a row either. All this whilst not having ffp be a thing either so you cant even excuse the 115 because those rules didnt exist
English
Was a SF only manager till he came here now he's dead only made 3 SFs in a decade at City. He's degarding as a manager and it's the fault of the Premier Leeg
Solo@Z9Priv_
Pep’s UCL record at City is disappointing, especially with these incredible squads Awful tactical decisions, embarrassing losses, and it would’ve looked much worse if he didn’t have KDB to bail him out so many times…
English
@DidiBiggs @Colmoo @CWeatherspoon_ No, it's literally plays no role in how the money is divided. It's divided on 4 pillars. The participation pillar, performance pillar, 5 year coefficient pillar and 10 year coefficient pillar. That's it.
English
@Timy1475 @Colmoo @CWeatherspoon_ That's true. But their TV audience does count when sharing the pot, doesn't it?
English
@Utd_Jayvion @Colmoo @CWeatherspoon_ No, it's based on UEFA's value pillar. It's determined by a teams performance over the last 10 and 5 years.
English
@Colmoo @CWeatherspoon_ It's about results as well
Inter won more matches in the group stages. Wins brings in more money
