Champions League 23/24

[JustZanetti4]

You guys seen this shit?

This is where Arsenal fans were sent to watch the match vs PSV in Eindhoven.

What is wrong with these countries? Absolutely unacceptable.

Was the same thing iirc 10-15 ago with Chelsea fans at Camp Nou.

 

[serghei]

Seriously?

 

[JustZanetti4]

Seriously?

yeah it was, away end you couldnt see that much,was a very long time ago

 

[serghei]

Yes, it was far away, understandable on Camp Nou, but they were put in a cage with nets and plexiglass walls everywhere?

Robbie will talk about it on AFTV, I am sure of it

Lets talk about the draw. Who do we want? Personally i'd like qsg so that we avoid humiliation of exiting the competition against some minnows. Qsg are thrash but atleast you can accept that mbappe kicked us out

 

[soul24rage]

Copenhagen, PSV or Leipzig please.

Draw is today at 12.00 CET on uefa.com btw. Many of these opponents will be tough for Xavi but if I could choose I'd avoid PSG and Inter. We are in desperate need to go through to the next round to be able to qualify for the new edition of CWC which guarantees €50m just for participating (iirc).

Not sure even qualifying to QF would be enough to guarantee us a spot in CWC. We have to get ahead of Atletico in UEFA 4-year coefficient ranking.

UEFA 4-year Club Coefficient Ranking (World Cup)

The 4-year ranking determines which UEFA clubs qualify for the FIFA Club World Cup. The ranking is based on coefficient points from UCL only.

So more important short term would be to get 10m to qualify for QF. Plus some additional money from selling tickets etc.

Yeah I wrote about this last week. That ranking only seems to take CL into account though, is that how CWC ranking will be calculated? We received 15.000 points in 21/22 according to uefa.com meaning we're only 1 point behind Atleti otherwise.

If it's CL coeff only then we're probably already fucked lol.

That's how I understand it but could be wrong.

PSG is the only oppenent which is too strong for us atm, don't underrate Leipzig Sito dude they are incredible strong too and from these teams the easiest team would be probably PSV.

Yes you're correct, it was actually confirmed only yesterday. https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/en/to...ncil-confirms-key-details-club-world-cup-2025

In the case of European clubs, given that three full seasons and a full group stage of the fourth season of the UEFA Champions League have already been completed, and since UEFA has an existing club coefficient system, the current pre-existing methodology principles for the purpose of calculating the UEFA club coefficient in relation to matches in the UEFA Champions League only will be exceptionally applied to determine the ranking of European clubs for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.

The approved methodology for the ranking of European teams is therefore as follows:

• 2 points for a win
• 1 point for a draw
• 4 points for qualification for the group stage
• 5 points for qualification for the round of 16
• 1 point for progress to each stage of the competition thereafter

So we're 7 points behind Atleti. Qualifying for QF in the best way (2W and Atleti lose both games) still won't be enough, which is very sad for a club of Barca's stature. Those two games against Shakhtar and Antwerp were costly.
