Premier League's fifth Champions League spot AT RISK after unexpected country leapfrogs England in rankings
"The Premier League top four get a Champions League place, but that can be extended to five if English sides do well enough in Europe (Image credit: Getty Images) The Premier League were the beneficiaries of an extra Champions League place last season thanks to their club's performance in European competition. Tottenham's Europa League win, Chelsea's Conference League triumph, and the presence of Arsenal, Aston Villa and Liverpool in the round of 16 and beyond -"
"UEFA keeps a running total of the average coefficient points for the season on its website, and there's a surprising new leader in the clubhouse. Poland has leapt to the top of the rankings, with England in second, Germany third, Cyprus fourth, Italy fifth and Spain sixth. Rakow Czestochowa are among Poland's four Conference League representatives (Image credit: Getty Images) Pole position (hoho) was secured on Thursday night thanks to Legia Warsaw, Rakow Czestochowa and Lech Poznan all winning in the Conference league,"
Top four in the Premier League earn Champions League places, with a fifth spot possible if the nation's European coefficient secures an extra berth. England gained an extra place last season after strong continental results, including Tottenham's Europa League win, Chelsea's Conference League triumph and runs from Arsenal, Aston Villa and Liverpool. UEFA's coefficients now show Poland leading, followed by England, Germany, Cyprus, Italy and Spain. Poland's rise was driven by Conference League wins from Legia Warsaw, Rakow Czestochowa and Lech Poznan. Poland has no Champions League or Europa League entrants, and coefficients reward Champions League performance heavily, making Poland's lead unlikely to persist.
