Can only imagine it’s because Italy has a lower rank than England. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they finished 8th in a Serie A which is a lower ranked league… so I’m guessing that the final appearance doesn’t add that much? The coefficient is a bloody mystery tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me is happy but part of me would love to see a juve vs villa final. It would be a great showpiece! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the only threat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So coefficients are worked out over a 5 year basis. Fiorentina hadn't been in Europe for the previous 5 years until last season. Therefore they used Italy's average national coefficient last year, i.e. all Italian clubs points from the last 5 years and then divided by 5 to get their coefficient. Fiorentina's own club coefficient was zero, heading into last season. Their accomplishments last season then earned them 20.000 coefficients points and that is what they start with this season as it is higher than Italy's average national coefficient for this season. Any points they earn over the next 4 years in Europe will increase this total. The same thing would apply to us, Newcastle and Brighton for example as we as a club are starting with 0 points due to not qualifying for Europe for the past 5 years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 FFS, can we just get to August when they make the draw?! I feel like I've been in a weird Philosophy exam since the end of the season. As useful as it is, that little orange table is doing my head in! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceemo Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 2024 Conference Final is confirmed for Athens in the new AEK Athens stadium which has an official capacity of 31,100. Ireland played Greece there a couple of weeks ago and there were issues where a number of gates wouldn't open for the Irish fans and a lot of them were stranded outside for a long time with the game going on. Can totally understand why therefore, UEFA would pick this stadium knowing their reputation. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder if they have any idea how much we're looking at this as a potential revenge job. Almost as if we're the Coventry in this rivalry field. Euww...
