Maccabi Tel Aviv could be in line for automatic qualification to the Champions League next season, thanks to a revolutionary change in the competition’s rules. The change, brought about by UEFA President Alexander Ceferin, will see an increase in the number of female participants in the Champions League from 32 to 36, giving another place to a champion from a league ranked outside the top 10 in UEFA.
Currently, Maccabi Tel Aviv is ranked 12th among the teams from leagues ranked 11 and below. If it wins the championship and the 11 teams above it do not take the title in their local leagues, Maccabi Tel Aviv will automatically qualify for the Champions League. This scenario becomes more plausible as 9 of the 11 teams ranked above Maccabi Tel Aviv do not lead their leagues.
Barak Bacher’s Red Star Belgrade is one of the teams leading their league, but Maccabi Tel Aviv’s chances are still strong, as the Serbian team is ahead of Partizan Belgrade thanks to goal difference. Maccabi Tel Aviv will want as few teams ranked above it as possible to participate in the champions’ track so that it will be ranked all the way. These factors give Maccabi Tel Aviv a good chance of making it to the Champions League.
