Top four for Champions League: FA

May 06, 2005 12:17 IST
The top four teams in the Premier League at the end of this season will enter next season's Champions League, the Football Association said on Thursday.

"This will not be changed whatever the outcome of Liverpool's Champions League Final in Istanbul on May 25 (against AC Milan)," said the FA in a statement.

"The FA also believes

that if Liverpool win in Istanbul and do not finish in the top four in the Premiership, an extra place should be allocated to them in the Champions League next season.

"This is ultimately a matter for (European soccer's governing body) UEFA but the FA will continue to make representations on this issue at the highest level," the FA added.
