If the European championships are not yet finished, 18 clubs have already qualified for the group stage of the Champions League 2023-2024. Before the play-off phase this summer, eight tickets are still to be defined by the end of the current financial year.
The Champions League, in its current format, will live one last edition in 2023-2024. For the time being, before the last days of the championships, 18 clubs out of 32 are already guaranteed to participate next season in the group stage. Eight tickets will be determined over the next few days.
In Ligue 1, the fifth championship in the UEFA index, PSG has already validated its place for the next group stage. Saturday, in case of victory against AC Ajaccio, RC Lens will take the second ticket allocated to the French championship. On Monday, Newcastle joined Manchester City and Arsenal for the Premier League, where fourth place will be played between Manchester United and Liverpool, with the Red Devils advantage.
In La Liga, FC Barcelona will compete in the group stage of the next Champions League like Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid. Real Sociedad have the advantage over Villarreal to complete the ranks. On the Bundesliga side, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, who will play for the title this weekend, will be accompanied by RB Leipzig. The last day will allow Union Berlin and Friborg to decide.
The future champion of Ukraine on the right track
Finally, in Serie A, where Juventus Turin received a 10-point penalty, Naples and Lazio Rome have the assurance of finishing in the top 4. The situation is particular for Inter Milan, third in the standings, who has the possibility of qualifying in the event of a final victory in the Champions League this year. In the event of a defeat against Manchester City, the Lombard club has a margin of five points on the fifth (Atalanta) two days from the end.
Ukraine, 12th in the UEFA index at the end of the 2021-2022 season, will recover a place for its champion if the winner of the Champions League is already qualified through its championship. The Europa League final (May 31), between AS Roma and Sevilla FC, will also allocate a place. Sixth in Serie A, the Roman club is four points behind AC Milan with two games remaining. In Italy, Juventus is not mathematically eliminated but it would take a miracle on the field … or outside.
For Portugal, Benfica Lisbon and FC Porto took the two places. Feyenoord Rotterdam (Netherlands), RB Salzburg (Austria), Celtic FC (Scotland) and Red Star Belgrade (Serbia), all champions in their country, will also play in the Champions League group stage 2023-2024.
Four clubs will still be decided through the “champions path” and the remaining two places will be given through the “league path”. It is by this last way that the third in Ligue 1, which should be OM, will in principle have to get by. However, if AS Roma finishes in the top 4 of Serie A and wins the Europa League, third place in Ligue 1 will directly qualify for the Champions League.
Qualified clubs:
Manchester City, Arsenal, Newcastle, FC Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, Real Madrid, Naples, Lazio Rome, Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig, PSG, Benfica, FC Porto, Feyenoord Rotterdam, RB Salzburg, Celtic FC, Red Star of Belgrade.
Places allocated by the end of the season:
2nd in Ligue 1, 4th in Premier League, 4th in La Liga, 4th in Bundesliga, 3rd in Serie A, 4th in Serie A, Champions League winner (or Ukrainian champion), Europa League winner (or third of League 1).
