Two clubs who finished on under 70 points each, nowhere even reaching second in the league, while the likes of Portugal, Holland, Russia, etc have no representatives. Personally think it’s sad where the Champions League is going.
Agree with the broader point but it's much more of an issue that the likes of Man City, Barca, Real are basically guaranteed to make the knockouts every year. Its Atalanta's first time ever in the competition
Hasn’t that always been the case though? Bayern, Real Madrid, Liverpool, etc dominating European competition. It’s too late now though, European football is broken.
Aye but if you're complaining about inequality in the game I think its a bit ridiculous to hold Atalanta in their first season in the competition with a wage bill not in the top 10 in Serie A up as the problem
