After the latest round of European cup matches, Germany is in first place ahead of England: the top two leagues are entitled to an additional team in the next edition of the Champions League.
The 5th matchday of European competitions concluded with the Europa League and Conference League matches. Italy, overtaken by Spain after Milan’s defeat to Borussia Dortmund, remains in 3rd place in the UEFA seasonal ranking reserved for nations.
However, Spain has now slipped to the fourth position, with Germany and England leading the standings. At the moment, Italy would not be entitled to the bonus of a fifth team in the upcoming Champions League, a privilege reserved for the top two countries in the ranking.
Germany (12.642 points), England (11.750), and Italy (11.714) make up the current provisional podium in this long race, which will only conclude at the end of May. Spain, Belgium, Czech Repblic and France are behind
On the club level, Italy is led by Inter (2.43) and Lazio (2.29 points), followed by Atalanta (1.86), Fiorentina (1.43), Napoli, and Roma (1.29). Milan (1.14) occupies the last position and is also the only team seriously at risk of elimination, potentially reducing our representatives in Europe from 8 to 7.
