Times: UEFA will not change the European League champions match system, and is dissatisfied with Wenger s remarks

May 11th The Times reported that UEFA will withstand the pressure and maintain the current rules, and the UEFA Cup champion can still advance to the Champions League next season.

Although Manchester United and Tottenham performed poorly in the Premier League this season, one of the teams will still earn huge gains from the Champions League next season through this path.

UEFA senior executives believe that the new competition system is successful and are displeased with the remarks that Wenger, former Arsenal coach and current FIFA global football development director, proposed to review the UEFA championship rules. Other critics pointed out that the competitiveness of the UEFA Cup has been weakened as no teams have been relegated from the Champions League to the UEFA Cup this season (8 last season) and the Champions League teams have expanded from 32 to 36.

UEFA internal sources emphasized that rewarding the UEFA Cup championship is the core principle of the competition system, and the Champions League teams are no longer relegated to the UEFA Cup under the new regulations. There are other opinions that it is abnormal to have a double-double league downturn in Manchester United and Tottenham this season, and it is fairer to make the participating teams clear all opponents before the start of the game.
