Whoever earns more points this year between Italy and Spain will be 2nd. Italy has the advantage over the next 3 years because the cutoff will mean earning +4, +3, and +3 against Spain
There’s nothing to gain with being 2nd or 3rd in the 5 year average. Your objective should be to finish in the top 2 at the end of the season to get an extra CL spot.
Being the 2nd country in the UEFA coefficient would be great and would help Serie A to not be perceived as a farmer league from english people.
2nd is always better than 3rd. I mean they fecked my brain last season about how important how fantastic how great was 2nd place in Premier League for ARSENAL and you tell me 2nd or 3rd is the same? Well yeah, you don’t get more benefits but I’ve the feeling ARSENAL are the closest to stop Manchester City reign.
It is tho. Not in the sense that it isn’t competitive but in the sense our best players go away… Tonali, Vicario and Udogie to the PL. SMS and Brozovic to Saudi Arabia, Skriniar to PSG and also less known players but that were crucial for their teams like Rodrigo Becao go.
And what we get? Thuram on a free, Rejinders to Milan, Retegui to Genoa? That’s the best signigs in Serie A from outside this summer I fear
Wow Italy is on the path to overtake Spain
That would mean 5th in Serie A gets into the CL, right?
I believe it’s based on the top 2 performers of the last season, not the overall top 2 over the 5 year window, but I could be wrong.
You are correct.

Nothing material but… Pride… and Facts.

who gives a shit
No one actually thinks Serie A is a farmers league though.
Still see your point.
