WHO ELSE COULD BE INVOLVED?
UEFA rules state if the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League winners qualify via their domestic league, then the champions of the 11th-ranked association (Netherlands) will enter the group stage, which means Ajax will be involved if Lyon don’t win the European Cup.
Similarly, if the 2019/20 Europa League winners qualify via their domestic league – which finalists Internazionale and Sevilla have done – then the third-placed team of the fifth-ranked association (France) will enter the group stage. Rennes will secure their participation.
The other six places in the group-stage will come from the Champions League third qualifying round.
