Among the many changes implemented by UEFA in its recent inter-club competitions, it is also the one concerning the champion team with the highest coefficient entering its qualifiers Champions League.
If the prestigious trophy has gone the previous year to a team that would secure anyway the ticket to the league phase, as is usually the case, then the club from the countries that do not have a direct place in it goes automatically to the group.
This is exactly what happened this year with Shakhtar Donetsk, who avoided the qualifiers thanks to Real Madrid’s title win the previous season.
At the given time, in pole position for the 2025/26 season, is… Olympic!
The page Football Meets Data he singled out the teams that can claim next season’s direct ticket, with Rangers, Dinamo Zagreb, Shakhtar and Salzburg all rated higher than the Reds but not top of their respective leagues.
The Piraeus occupy the top of its rating Stoiximan Super League and meet all the conditions of the list, having little difference from Red Star and Copenhagen – with PAOK to be a little further back.
In short, if the season ended today, his team Jose Luis Mendiliber she would be the one who could enter the league phase of the top club competition next season.
Of course, for Olympiacos to actually achieve something like this, it will have to be crowned champion in May, at the same time not to get the title team with the best coefficient in Scotland, Croatia, Ukraine, Austria, Serbia, Denmark, Switzerland and Israel and of course the cup with the big ears goes to a club that will have a ticket from its domestic league .
