According to Il Corriere dello Sport, a currently informal clarification has arrived from Nyon: if Roma or Atalanta win the Europa League…
Italy has already mathematically won an extra slot in the new one Champions League with a 36-team format, single ranking and then playoffs or directly the round of 16, but with the right connections the A league next year it could even qualify six clubs. The confirmation, currently only informal, would come directly from the UEFAwhat a second The Corriere dello Sport with a clarification waiting to be written in a circular would have answered the question ‘what if Rome or Atalanta they win theEuropa League finishing in a position that through the championship would already guarantee them the Champions League pass?’
The response from Nyon opens up unimaginable scenarios at the start of the season and is an assist for Naples, Lazio and Fiorentina. In fact, if one of De Rossi or Gasperini were to triumph in the final in Dublin on 22 May and finish the championship in 5th place, it would also allow the sixth-placed team to qualify. Italy would therefore have 4 places from the championship, 1 for the Europa League holders and 1 thanks to the UEFA ranking.
However, the Italian teams foreseen in the three Cups remain 8, which means that if Serie A qualified 6 teams in the Champions League, it would only bring one to the Europa League and another to the Conference (with 5 in the Champions League, however, the division would remain 5 +2+1).
But there is also the possibility that there are 9 or even 10 Italian teams in the Cups. To reach double figures it would be necessary for two Italian teams to win Europe and the Conference League, both finishing in eighth place and below, while to have 9 teams the Florentine should win the Conference while staying outside the top 8 in the league.
However, if Viola finished in eighth place and won the trophy, they would qualify for the Europa League but Italy would have no representatives in the 2024-25 Conference.
