It is in this way that it is decided who will go to the sowing. It is worth recognizing that this is a great incentive. The higher the personal rating, the better the chances of getting into rivals with a weaker team, avoiding hitting the best clubs in world football. As a result, the chances of getting into the playoff stage are significantly increased. This is not only the main goal of each tournament participant, but also brings additional income to the club treasury. And, what is also important, it increases the current euro coefficient, allowing you to place in the ranking of football clubs in 2018 as high as possible.

Counting Rules

How do UEFA analysts calculate the rankings, which include the best football clubs peace? The coefficient of each club is displayed according to the success of its performances in the international arena - in the Champions League and the Europa League. All data for the last 5 seasons are taken into account, the total calculation of which gives the final coefficient. 1/5th of the coffe earned by the national association to which the particular team belongs is added to the results obtained. Accordingly, the higher the overall score, the closer to the top of the top football clubs this or that team is located.
The ranking of football clubs is compiled as follows. UEFA uses a specially designed gradation for scoring points. For Champions League and LE it is different. And all because the strongest play in the Champions League, including the best football club of our time - Real Madrid.

Champions League

Points in this tournament are awarded as follows:
0.5 points - if the team is eliminated in the 1st qualifying round;
1 point - if the team is eliminated in the 2nd qualifying round;
4 points - automatic accrual to all participants of the group round;


4 points - automatic accrual for reaching the playoffs;
1 point - for passing to each subsequent stage of the playoffs (1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and final).

Europa League

LE is considered the second most powerful tournament held under the auspices of UEFA (however, the best football clubs also meet there). Accordingly, the “cost” of achievements in it is estimated to be slightly lower than in the Champions League:
0.25 points - if the team is eliminated in the 1st qualifying round;
0.5 points - if the team is eliminated in the 2nd qualifying round;
1 point - if the team is eliminated in the 3rd qualifying round;
1.5 points - if the team is relegated to the playoffs of the qualification;
2 points - automatic accrual to all participants of the group round;
2 points - for winning a group match;
1 point - for a draw in a group match;
1 point - for passing to each subsequent stage of the playoffs, starting from the 1/4 finals.

The calculation methodology has recently undergone some changes. Until 2008, 33 percent of the total points of the club association were added to the club coefficient, and before 2004 - as much as 50%. Through analysis and discussions in the press, this percentage was smoothly reduced to the current value. This is how it turns out to determine the top football clubs in the world.
