Today morning, the UEFA 14-member committee made a unique decision - despite finishing fifth in the English league, they have to defend the names of the Champions League winners. The "Reds" will have to play six qualifying matches to enter the main tournament.
The winners of the most prestigious European tournament will play their first qualifying stage matches on July 12, with the return match scheduled for July 19. This unexpected decision will likely prevent the football club "Liverpool" from going on tour in Japan.
The UEFA council also decided that in a similar event, the Champions League winners automatically enter the tournament, pushing out the fourth-place winners of the national championship. This time, "Everton" managed to keep their earned ticket, so five English clubs will participate in the league.
