Manchester United, Argentina 52 488

UEFA have today CONFIRMED that starting next season, the winners of the top seven leagues across Europe will be placed in pot one along with the current winner of the competition. However, if the winners of the Champions League also win their league, then the winner of the eighth best league will be included, which is currently PSV.“For the purpose of the draw, the 32 clubs involved in the group stage are seeded into four groups of eight. The first group comprises the titleholder (top seed) and the domestic champions of the seven top-ranked associations in accordance with the ACCESS list (see Annex A)."If the titleholder is one of the top seven associations’ domestic champions, the group is completed with the champion of the association ranked eighth. The other three groups are composed in accordance with the club coefficient rankings established at the beginning of the season”.So with the new rule announced, this is what pot one COULD look like next season: Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Juventus, Paris St Germain, Zenit and Benfica. Plus the WINNER of this year’s Champions League.

I would be more happy if the winner of Champions League wasn't automatically qualified for the next year.

Did I already mentioned how retarded this new arrangement is?

I know the essence of the tournament is having the champions on different leagues and that has always been the case but not because they are champions of their league they deserve a better seeding than those who have actually won the Champions league or that at least is known for going far each time they play. They deserve to be in the cup but among the clubs qualified they should give more merit to those teams who have proven to be successful in it.
