📊 Inter’s exit brings Spain closer to a fifth Champions League spot | OneFootball

The race for the additional spots in the next Champions League has taken an unexpected turn.

After the elimination of Inter Milan, Italy has been left practically out of the equation. This scenario opens a door of hope for Spanish football, which is climbing positions in the UEFA coefficient.

Currently, England has almost secured its extra ticket with a 100% probability, but the real battle is being fought for the second spot in the annual ranking. Germany leads that fight with 64% odds, but Spain has experienced a notable rise after the latest European results, now holding a 20% real chance.

Italy’s fall is the key to this new scenario. Italian clubs have seen their chances plummet to a mere 2%, after having dominated the ranking for much of the season. This situation directly benefits LaLiga teams, who now depend on their success in the final rounds.

For Spain to achieve that coveted fifth spot, it will be vital for its representatives to advance in the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League. Every victory adds critical points to surpass the Bundesliga in the decisive stretch of the season.

The prize is no small matter: a direct ticket to the top continental competition, which would change the economic and sporting planning for clubs like Betis, Espanyol, or Celta de Vigo, depending on how the standings evolve.
