During the broadcast “Si Gonfia la Rete” hosted by Raffaele Auriemma on Radio Crc, she spoke Evelina Christillin, additional member of the FIFA Council and representative UEFA: “The elimination of Inter and Napoli from the Champions League has a significant impact on the UEFA ranking. Italy is currently in first place, but Germany is closing in, while England and Spain are also in the running.”
“It is essential to consider how many teams from each nation still remain in European competition.
If we went from 7 to 4, the Premier League still has 6, while La Liga and the Bundesliga have 4 each. So we are holding our breath for the remaining Italian teams, because fifth place counts a lot for next year's Champions League."
“As for the Super League, I can confirm that the prize pool of 2 billion for the next Champions League season is a consolidated fact.
Each qualifying team will receive a bonus of 20 million. While I know that talking only about money may seem superficial, it is important to point out that the television rights have already been sold through 2027, extending to 2030 in the United States”.
"For what concern Club World Cup and possible legal actions by Napoli, President De Laurentiis will take the decisions he deems appropriate.
I was happy to see the photo of President Infantino welcoming Juventus yesterday. As a Juventus fan, but also tied to Napoli, I cannot forget that last year I celebrated the Scudetto in Naples, a city that I care deeply about”.
“On a sporting level, Napoli played an excellent match against Barcelona, even conceding a penalty that was not awarded which could have made the difference.
As for the legal issues, I prefer not to express myself and wait for developments. Napoli is currently in 42nd place in the UEFA rankings”.
