The woeful performance of the English premier league in the recent opening games of the UEFA champions league has left a whole lot to be desired. Of the four English Premier League teams that played, only one could garner a win. The rest all ended up with disastrous losses. If the premier league sides keep this up, they might wake up to find themselves with only three slots for the UEFA champions league.

In the last three season, the Premier League has had only two teams in the quarter-finals and one in the semi-finals. Sadly, all this was in the 2103/2014 season. Thus, in the 2012/2013 and the 2014/2015 season, no English team has made it past the round of sixteen. This is in contrast to the previously dominant picture of the English premier league. Between 2004 and 2012, the English league had 7 finalists in 8 seasons. This means that the EPL was very dominant.

The ranking of teams by UEFA places Spain first, followed by Germany, then England and behind England is Italy. Recently, Italy has being gaining on England I’m the UEFA rankings. The rankings are calculated by measuring the performance of the leagues in UEFA competitions for a period of five years. The performance is then used to measure out slots for the next two years. For example, performances from the 2011/2012 to 2015/2016 seasons will affect rankings for the 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 seasons.

Four slots are given out to the top three teams in the rankings. If the English premier league should deliver a woeful performance this season, they could lose their four slots to Italy and they would have just three slots in future champions league competitions.

Thus, the ball is in the EPL’s half, it is up to them to determine whether or not they retain their fourth slot.

In less than four hours the European Champions League would kick-off with eight thrilling games and Manchester United who missed out last season who be a sight to see back in Champions League action. Last season’s miss cost the club a whooping £35million in revenue. Manchester United would be up against PSV Eindhoven away from home in the Tuesday night clash. They would be aiming to make a statement about their return to action in the Champions League since their last win against Bayern Leverkusen in November 2013.

 

According to United player Ashley Young, the pain of a year-long exile from European football is enough to fuel their desire to make an impact in the competition this season. Ashley young who has not started a game for United, since their opening day fixture is hoping that his contribution to the team’s success in their weekend game against arch-rivals Liverpool would be enough to earn him a recall. With the club’s captain Wayne Rooney sitting out this one through a hamstring injury, Young is willing to play the striker role if need be. United have the right morale and mentality in their squad now, after coming out on top against Liverpool.

 

United manager Louis van Gaal has admitted that he is not sure if his team is good enough to compete in the Champions League this season. After spending an estimated £300 million on players since his arrival at Old Trafford in a bid to reshape the team left by former manager David Moyes, the manager still feels the campaign is like taking a step into the unknown. In his rank of players only few have Champions League experience but the likes of Luke Shaw, Anders Herrera, Memphis Depay, Marcos Rojo and summer signing Morgan Schneiderlin have never appeared in the tournament before. But summer arrival Bastian Schweinsteiger would be a boost since he has won the cup with Bayern. Would United stamped their presence tonight? Well we can only wait and see.
