Well done Man Utd.
But they now automatically go into the CL Group stage even although they finished sixth in their national league.
England now have 5 teams in the CL, 4 of whom will automatically enter at the Group Stage, while teams who actually won their national league have to play qualifying games. DISGUSTING.

Look on the bright side TT

It means if we get there we will have a greater than 1 in 2 chance of drawing an EPL team and I don't fear any of them.

Highly unlikely but theoretically, you could have a team being relegated but due to their previous season position they get into EL then actually win it.
Now we can have a scenario where a relegated team automatically qualifies for CL group stage while national league winners have to play qualifying games. Its wrong, unfair and downright obscene.

Should just be the champions of every country in Europe.

How they can call it the champions league is a joke - at our and every other small nations league winners - expense.

European qualification has always been a bit of a headscratcher. Same for us up here with getting a place after winning the Scottish Cup. That's a bit of a slap in the face for the team who has gone through a whole season and finished higher up in the league.
