European cup
The Austrian champions in 2022 will likely be rewarded with a fixed place in the Champions League group stage, because the latest success stories from Salzburg, WAC and LASK have further consolidated the national league at 10th place in the UEFA five-year ranking. The lead over 11th Scotland is 3.7 points, but the Scots are only represented in the Europa League by Glasgow Rangers.
With Salzburg and WAC, Austria still has two Europa League clubs in the running, as does 12th Ukraine, which should reach 4,125 points. To do that, Shakhtar Donetsk and Dynamo Kiev would have to add notable winning streaks in the Europa League at the end of the season.
Even a drop from one rank would be manageable for Austria, because eleventh also has a place in the CL group stage, provided the 2022 Champions League winner qualifies for the ‘queen class’ via the national championship. . That was almost always the case recently.
The domestic league can even look up: Belgium ninth is 0.475, Holland 0.975 points away. However, in terms of the number of European Cup holders or start dates, there is practically no difference if you finish 10th or 8th in the five-year rankings.
