| Points for winning the final, please | |

Date: 03-01-2008, 02:43 | I wonder why teams-winners from both CL and UC don't get extra points for winning the European title... Can you explain me why? |

Or maybe it's because UEFA doesn't want the rankings to be affected too much of one good (great) season. It doesn't matter so much anyway, because the benefits of winning title is great anyway, so 1 or 2 extra coefficient points won't matter that much (and the next season the team is seeded anyway) |

So both teams playing in the final already received 1 bonus point each for qualifying for the final. Winner of the final match does not qualify for any stage in the current season's competition, and therefore do not get any more bonus points. |

They already got a place in next year's competition. Unless they only won on penalties they already got two more points than the team they beat in the final. Why would they want/deserve any more points? |

Date: 04-01-2008, 21:30 | I think the CL winner (and UEFA Cup winner) should get bonus points for winning… It’s strange that in the 2006/2007 club ranking, Espanyol (!!) is on top, while the European champion AC Milan is just 5th. Anyway, this is just one among many strange things in the UEFA rankings… |
