Hello lads just a quick question
Is it true if that Man Utd win the Europa and finish in top 4 the 5th placed team gets Champions league.
25 Apr 2017 18:52:11
Liverpool and Manchester city are hoping so :-)

I'm not sure if what you say is possible.

If Utd beat city they are level with Liverpool with a game in hand and of course ahead of city to who drop to 5th, if city and Utd draw they will be 1 and 2points behind Liverpool respectively but both with a game in hand.
I'm pretty sure both Manchester clubs will make the top 4 and Thursday evening might decide who's 3rd and who's 4th between the two of them.

No only four teams allowed in but if any one wins the europa outside top four then five. No only top four.

In other words man u finishing top four and winning europa, their europa champs league spot isn't offered to anyone else in the league.

Does it go to the runner up?
{Ed002's Note - Of course not.}
25 Apr 2017 22:44:27
So where does the extra place go, if Utd qualify via league position and winning the europa league?
{Ed002's Note - There is no extra place if the team otherwise qualifies. You get in the CL by qualifying - not because of any freebie. The Liverpool fans suffer the same dellusion.}

Good news, i like the idea of things being achieved by a clubs own merits rather than on the backs of others success.
This can only be good for Arsenal and Liverpool long term, looking for freebies to cover up your own inabilities does no one any good long term.

If a team win the champions league and finishes out side the top 4 then there will be 5 teams in champions league but if a team win europa league and is outside the top 4 theh take 4th spots place.

Stephen you are wrong, the same rule applies as champs league winners. That only happen if both teams from england win the champs league and the europa and finish outside top five, then the fourth team miss out. The max you are allowed is five.

Sorry and in that senario the fourth place would be ejected. that's theonly way fourth will miss out.
