UEFA ranking makes grim reading for Serie A – extra UCL spot currently LaLiga’s | OneFootball

It has not been a good week for Italian clubs in the Champions League so far, and it risks having a very negative impact on next season.

European football has brought only bad news for the Italian teams so far this week and for Serie A this is not good news, given that they are hoping to be in the top two for league co-efficient.

The elimination of Milan, Atalanta and Juventus – against Feyenoord, Club Brugge and PSV Eindhoven respectively – has almost ruled out the chance of coming second in the UEFA ranking, which would gain an extra place in the Champions League next season.

While waiting to find out if Roma will be able to eliminate Porto this evening which would help things, as well as a deep run for Inter, Spain have taken a big lead. The rankings in full are below:

1. England – 20,892 co-efficient points 2. Spain – 18,535 3. Italy – 17,812 4. Portugal – 16,050 5. Germany – 16,064 6. France – 14,857 7. Netherlands – 14,366 8. Belgium – 14,250 9. Greece – 11,062 10. Sweden – 10,125
