IF we do make Champions League next season don't forget we play a guaranteed 8 games in the group (League) stage.
2 of those games will be against POT 1 teams (Barca, Real, Bayern, PSG, Dortmund, Inter, Leipzig).
Another 2 will be against Pot 2 teams ( Leverkusen, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Benfica, Atalanta, Shkhtar, AC Milan)
Then another 2 from pot 3
then another 2 from the same pot we will be in which is Pot 4.
We will have to finish 9-24 place in the league to make the playoffs. I think we can do it. I think we the new format is way more exciting for teams like Villa.
