Team newspaper: After Paris won the championship, Ligue 1 has not increased its UEFA Champions League quota, Olympiacos will advance directly

In the Champions League final, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Inter Milan 5-0 and successfully won the championship. However, the "Team News" pointed out that this will not allow Ligue 1 teams to obtain additional places in the Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain has previously been qualified for the Champions League next season as the Ligue 1 champion. Although Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League again this season, this will not allow the French Ligue 1 team to add another UEFA Champions League place. Therefore, Lille, fifth place in the Ligue 1 this season, is still unable to participate in the Champions League match next season.

The league teams ranked 11th to 55th in the European Championship standings were originally able to participate in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. However, according to the rules of the Champions League, if Paris Saint-Germain wins the championship, among all the teams that qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season, the teams with the highest European points and the national league championship will be substituted for the Champions League next season.

And this lucky team is Greek League champion Olympiacos. They are currently ranked 37th in the European Championship standings (56.5 points). They do not need to participate in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers next season, but directly participate in the UEFA Champions League stage. The last time Olympiacos participated in the Champions League group stage was in the 2020-21 season.

Although Glasgow Rangers have higher European points (71.25 points), they only won the runner-up in the SFC Premier League this season, while SFC Premier League champion Celtics have lower European points (38 points) than Olympiacos, so they cannot directly advance to the Champions League stage.
