Throwback to early September, when 🇨🇿 Czechia had just dropped down to 18th (!). We had them at 7.6% to make Top 10 at that point, really good run they had.
Throwback to early September, when 🇨🇿 Czechia had just dropped down to 18th (!). We had them at 7.6% to make Top 10 at that point, really good run they had.
The 23/24 coefficients table is almost finalised. With Viktoria Plzen eliminated, 🇨🇿 Czechia ends the season in 10th. 🇬🇷 Greece loses PAOK and only has Olympiakos still playing. For Greece to overtake 🇩🇰Denmark Olympiakos need to win both semi-finals AND the final.
It looks like it will be 🇮🇹 Italy and 🇩🇪 Germany who will get an additional Champions League group stage ticket next year! 🇮🇹 Italy 100% certain 🇩🇪 For Germany to lose it, they would need to lose nearly all games and Aston Villa needs to win every game.
We have a new country in the Top 10 of Europe! 🇨🇿 Czechia clinches Top 10! 🏴 Scotland drops out, and loses their direct UCL spot. Top 15 is almost set, only team remaining is 🇬🇷 Greece. Great win from Olympiakos yesterday means they still have 14.4% to take 15th from 🇩🇰Denmark
Who get's the additional Champions League tickets? Very bad week for 🏴 England, likely losing Liverpool and West Ham at the very least. They are now tied on points with 🇩🇪 Germany. Bayern - Arsenal next week will be huge. 🇮🇹 Italy even more certain of ending in Top 2 now.
🇨🇿 Viktoria Plzen come in clutch for Czech Republic, by drawing Fiorentina! They overtake 🏴 Scotland who no longer have any teams remaining. Great season awarded with a direct spot in the 25/26 Champions League!

Fun fact! Out of all quarter finalists in the Champions League, the one with the LOWEST chance to make the semi finals is.... Real Madrid 👀 (±38%)
Post-draw update for Top 10/15 race: 🇨🇿 Slightly tough draw for Viktoria, but still at 72.2% to at least get a draw in one of two games. 🇬🇷 Greece with an average draw. 10 points needed to overtake 🇩🇰Denmark, e.g. both winning twice. Tall order but still 8.1% chance!

Post-draw update! 🏴 Very tough draw for England, especially for City/Arsenal/Villa. Chance of extra Champions League ticket next year drops by 🔻12%! which is good news for: 🇮🇹 Neutral draw, but still increased chances of 2%! 🇩🇪 Good draw (+0.2 xPts) sees them increase by 10%!

Into the final stages of the European season, every game matters now. 🇮🇹 Inter's exit a hit for Italy, but likely without consequences. 🇩🇪 Germany increase their expected points total, but see their chance of Top 2 drop, because... 🏴 England's expected points rise even more!
