English premier league: an exception to the usual European quali

english premier league An exception to the usual European qualification system happened in 2005, after Liverpool won the Champions League the season before , but did not finish in a Champions League qualification place in the Premier League . UEFA gave special dispensation for Liverpool to enter the Champions League, giving England five qualifiers. [ 109 ] The governing body subsequently ruled that the defending champions qualify for the competition the following year regardless of their domestic league placing. However, for those leagues with four entrants in the Champions League, this meant that if the Champions League winners finished outside the top four in its domestic league, it would qualify at the expense of the fourth-placed team. At that time, no association could have more than four entrants in the Champions League. [ 110 ] This occurred in 2012, when Chelsea – who had won the Champions League that summer, but finished sixth in the league – qualified for the 2012–13 Champions League in place of Tottenham Hotspur , who went into the Europa League .
