Europe's top four leagues will have four guaranteed places in the Champions League group stage from the 2018-19 season, UEFA has confirmed.
The top four leagues in the UEFA coefficient ranking -- currently La Liga, the Bundesliga, Premier League and Serie A -- will see four teams enter the group stage without having to go through a qualification round.
Currently, La Liga, the Bundesliga and the Premier League are guaranteed three group spots, with a fourth possible through the qualifying round, while Serie A has two guaranteed spots and a third possible via qualification.
The Premier League was in danger of losing one its places to Serie A at the end of this season, particularly after Sassuolo qualified for this season's Europa League group stage while West Ham were eliminated, but both leagues will now get four Champions League spots.
The top flights in Russia, Portugal and France are currently all vying to be Europe's fifth-ranked division but are some distance behind the current top four.
However, the coefficient system will be revamped with clubs judged only on their own records and historical success in European competition also acknowledged.
UEFA has also confirmed that the Europa League winners will now automatically qualify for the Champions League group stage. At present the winners enter at the playoff stage by right, but are elevated to the group stage if the holders also qualify via league position.
The revamp will also involve a change to the way in which clubs are paid, with UEFA explaining: "A new four-pillar financial distribution system (starting fee, performance in the competition, individual club coefficient and market pool) will see sporting performances better rewarded, while market pool share will decrease."
Sources had told ESPN FC earlier this month that the measures were set to be approved after tough negotiations, with a number of clubs from top leagues having threatened to boycott the Champions League if their demands were not met.
The threat of a breakaway European Super League had appeared significant earlier this year, and Press Association Sport reports that the biggest push for change has come from Spain and Italy, the nation that looks set to benefit the most from the alteration.
UEFA general secretary ad interim Theodore Theodoridis said: "The evolution of UEFA's club competitions is the result of a wide-ranging consultative process involving all stakeholders and taking into account a wide range of expertise and perspectives.
"The amendments made will continue to ensure qualification based on sporting merit, and the right of all associations and their clubs to compete in Europe's elite club competitions.
"We are happy that European football remains united behind the concepts of solidarity, fair competition, fair distribution and good governance."
Adjustments to the current format of the Champions League can only begin in 2018 as that is when the next three-year commercial cycle starts.

We play Stoke before and Sunderland after Monaco at Wembley
Middlesborough before and Man City after CSKA away
West brom before and Bournemouth after Luverkusen away -
Leicester before and Arsenal after Luverkusen at Wembley -
West Ham before and Chelsea after Monaco away -
Swansea before and Man Utd after CSKA home.
Looks a tough schedule but remember Leics and arse are also CL and in the same boat as us,we are away on a tues at CSKA and our next opponent City is away at celtic on the weds,so whilst we travel the extra distance we get the extra day.,man u play europa league on a thurs away in ukraine before our fixture and we have the extra days rest after playing at home.All in all its only the matches sandwiched between monaco away (spam&chavs both not in europe
) that look difficult. Last edited:

No problem...you're welcome. I haven't received tickets yet so not sure what format they will take and whether you need my membership card as well. We can fix nearer the time when tickets come out, but consider it yours, unless there's any reason I can't share.

Away travelers to Russia need to apply for a visa to go there.
Takes 20 days minimum turn around.
If you are applying for tickets need to get the visa sorted sharp too.

Right, I want to go to Monaco away with my CL/EL Euro Spurs mate from Amsterdam and 22nd November is the day after my birthday so it's going to happen somehow....
Problem is I won't get a ticket from the club because the allocation will be tiny - the stadium only holds 18,000 and loads of Yids will go for a party in Nice, I know this because the flights are already chokka.
So how do I get 2 tickets - I've already pumped sources in Monaco, checked their club website etc. any STH's not going that I can get two tickets from? All help appreciated...
@SteveCoys @Wotspur @skiathospurs any of you going, got potential access to tickets that I could buy?
Thanks in advance

Thanks mate. Judging by the flight prices and hotel availability there are way more Yids than tickets available heading to the South of France.

ha ha.....I won't, that's not my style!! I witnessed a bit of that Marseille experience in the France world cup when we played Tunisia under Glenn Hoddle in the same city. You just want to be as far away as possible to be honest. The local african community trashed everything British while the game was on and when we came out it was like a war zone.I`ve asked,just see if he answers now,no throwing white plastic chairs at them foreign types if i vouch for you
