CL Qualification

It would have to take a very unlikely set of circumstances to finish 4th and miss out on CL football.

This season is probably the closest we'll get as there's still a chance of the two European trophies going to English sides finishing out of the top 4.

Has the rule changed? Did someone miss out due to Chelsea winning it in 2012 and finishing 6th or am I wrong?

Spurs missed out! The rules have changed since then though.

Naturally. The year they changed the away goals rule for the league cup meant we went out rather than go to the final this year.

Away goals rule could help you v Ajax though as it did against City!

I’ll get how people can never get their head around.

If you win the Europa you get CL.

If you get top 4 you get CL unless a side outside the top 4 wins the CL and you finish 4th.

Its not difficult to understand.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The only way to lose out when finishing 4th is if two other English clubs finish outside top 4 and win the CL and EL.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
EL has no bearing either way.

If you finish 4th it’s only the CL winner that can keep out of the CL next season if they are outside of the top 4.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats not quite right actually.

If you finish 4th and the team in 5th wins CL, both teams qualify for the CL.

Only if the team in 6th then wins the EL would the team in 4th miss out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If say Spurs won the CL and finished 5th, Arsenal/Chelsea won the Europa Cup and finished 6th, then the 4th placed club would miss out. A very unlike set of circumstances. But you never know.

Not if we get one and Ajax score six.

I struggled to get to sleep that night

Incorrect, EL runners-up get nothing. PL teams can have 4/5 teams in CL & 4th can miss out if PL teams win both CL & EL and finish outside top 4
