Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes it is wrong for the Europa League winners to qualify for the Champions League.
Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are likely to meet in the Europa League final. After winning the first leg of their semi-final.
Both sides would definitely miss out on European football if they win the first leg of their league tie. With United currently 15th and Spurs 16th.
UEFA changed the rules in 2014 to give the Europa League winners a place in the following season’s Champions League, but Wenger has been sceptical about it. Asked if it was right for the Europa League winners to qualify for the Champions League, Wenger
told เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา Sports: “No. They should automatically qualify for the Europa League again. But they do not have to qualify for the Champions League. “Especially
in the Premier League where there are five teams that already qualify for the Champions League, I think that is something UEFA should revisit. “
On the other hand, people will say if you want the Europa League to be interesting and motivational then you should leave it alone. The team that wins it should be rewarded with a place in the Champions League.”
United won the Europa League in 2018 under Jose Mourinho and qualified for the following season’s Champions League despite finishing sixth in the Premier League. Since the
Europa League was rebranded in 2009-10, no team finishing lower than 12th has played in or won the competition.
Sevilla (12th) will win the 2023 final, while Fulham (12th) lost in the 2010 final. Wenger,
who left Arsenal in 2018 and was appointed FIFA’s head of world football development the following year, has introduced a number of changes to football in recent years, including changes to the offside rule and the introduction of a World Cup every two years.
