One of the UEFA leaders, Lars Christer Olsson, announced that the decision regarding the team's participation in next year's Champions League should be made by June 17th.
Although an English team triumphed in the most prestigious European club football tournament this year, their place in next year's competition is not guaranteed for a simple reason - R. Benitez's team only finished 5th in the English championship. From this country, four strongest teams are delegated to the Champions League, determined by the results in the national championship.
Nevertheless, "Liverpool" team requested a special place in next year's campaign, citing their desire to defend the title won in the fantastic final. The English Football Association supports the club in this matter, although it also insists that the 4th place team "Everton" will not be deprived of their place in the Champions League.
