London, England – E don happen again! England and Spain don secure extra places for Champions League next season, and dem no wan hear say dem no fit dominate Europe again. Last season, na Italy and Germany be the lucky ones, but this time, na the Premier League and LaLiga shine.
Wetin dey sup? This one happen based on how all de teams for each country perform for Europe dis season. Collectively, dem dey stack coefficient points like say dem dey stack palm wine for party. Every win dey add two points, draw carry one point, but loss? No points, my brother, na suya for ground!
Let’s yarn small how dis coefficient matter work for those wey no sabi. If your league dey win matches, e go boost your average like good friendship. Take for example; if a country win 60 points and dem get seven teams for Europe, na 8.571 be di average. Simple maths, abi?
As di Premier League pull five teams for Champions League next year, dem fit even get six spots if dem win Europa League too. Na serious business for our Naija padi dem wey dey follow football. Countries wey dey sharp like this get extra chances to show dem say dem fit represent.
Last season, di lege league title don enter for England and one spot for Champions League, meaning dem dey gear up for some serious action next season. Everybody gbadun di competitive vibes and pressure wey dey come with am. Top clubs dey fight like lions and tigers for dem spot. Liverpool and Manchester City don already secure dem own places. Na wetin bring joy for football fans across di globe!
As e be for now, e be like say England dey lead with 29.178 points while Spain dey follow with 23.892 points. Italy and Germany dey try, but dem no fit catch up quick quick. Na so e dey be when big boys like Chelsea, Arsenal and di rest dey perform well.
But wait, no be only positive side dey this matter. If any league no perform well, e go affect dem negatively for coefficient rankings. Na wa o! Betta make jawe dem no fall hand or dem go see wetin happen. Dem fit go under dem league just like wetin happen with some teams wey dey fight relegation.
Dem say in March we go sabi wetin dey up. If some teams dey enter quarterfinals across di different competitions, dat na when reality go hit dem like say dem catch cold! Na only results go show whether dem go maintain dem status or dem go suffer dem challenges. We dey watch like Naija pipo wey dey follow dis game with keen interest.
As di season dey approach end, e go be interesting as di new configuration fit change di landscape of European football wey everybody don come to love. With every match wey dem play, history dey dey change and dem padi for UEFA dey take note! Alangba go open as dem dey battle for glory.
So my padi, as we dey enjoy life dey go, no forget say football na life for many. We go keep dey follow dem Champions League and see how our Naija boy dem go perform. Because no matter all dis wahala, one thing wey dey sure be say football go always bring us together. Cheers!
