Top-8 Seedings boost for Liverpool
-
UEFA have confirmed that Liverpool will be among the top seeds if they qualify for this season's Champions League.
The Reds face a two legged qualification game before entering the competition proper, but if they get through the tie they will be one of the top eight seeds in the group stages of the competition.
Manchester United are also in the elite group along with Arsenal, although Arsene Wenger's side will also need to qualify first.
Chelsea, despite being Premiership champions, have only been listed in the second group of seeds and so face the likelihood of being paired with one of the continent's top sides when the competition gets underway.
Liverpool will discover their opponents in the third qualifying round of the Champions League when the draw is made on July 28.
The draw for the group stages of the competition will take place in Monaco in August.
Top pot of seeds for Champions League according to current UEFA co-efficient:
1 Barcelona (Spa) 127.0 pts
2 Real Madrid (Spa) 120.0
3 Inter Milan (Ita) 112.0+
4 Liverpool (Eng) 105.9
5 Arsenal (Eng) 101.9
6 Man Utd (Eng) 100.9
7 Valencia (Spa) 95.0
8 Lyon (Fra) 89.7
Second seeds:
9 Porto (Por) 87.5
10 PSV Eindhoven (Hol) 81.6
11 Bayern Munich (Ger) 80.9
12 Chelsea (Eng) 79.9
13 Roma (Ita) 76.0, 14 Ajax (Hol) 60.6
15 Celtic (Sco) 60.0
16 Lille (Fra) 54.7 -

Hmm right .... 2005/2006 season , we were group with Chelsea , and won the group as winner .... then paired with Benfica at the next phase, and then got kick out by Benfica .... i remember this .Originally posted by edi_77777:not exactly right.. rem got 1 season chelsea was group with us in the same group? then end up draw game... think is the season we won the CL...
The season 2004/2005 we were European Champion 2005 , we were group with Monaco , Deportivo and Olympiakos .
Then play Bayern Leverkusen in the knock-out phase ..... beat them and then face Juventus (QF)..... beat them too , and then Chelsea (SF), and beat them three ..... then AC Milan ( Final ).... what else you want to know ?
