Risk of exclusion from Europe for Toulouse due to… Milan!

THE emphatic French Cup win against Nantes secured a European ticket to Toulousewhich, however, could see her its participation in the Europa League to be… cancelled!

The reason; It is owned by RedBird Capital Partners, a company that also leads it Milan. The “rosoneri” are assured of their presence in the Champions League, from which they could of course be relegated if they come 3rd in the group stage.

In this case, the possibility of them finding themselves in a knockout round where they are also tied with Toulouse is real, which is against UEFA regulations.

On the part of French cup winners, optimism is expressed that the ownership regime does not create any entanglement, with the res judicata existing with Leipzig and Salzburg from previous years to be an ally.

However, if no solution is found, Toulouse could be left out, with the 5th in Ligue 1 able to benefit. Because it is clear that if RedBird is faced with a dilemma about who will play in Europe, Milan has a… 100% chance of being preferred.

UEFA have yet to decide on whether to allow AC Milan & Toulouse to compete in the Champions League & Europa League respectively this season – Article 5 bans clubs with the same shareholder from competing in this configuration of European competitions. https://t.co/3hY6ynOToB
