FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, FC Arsenal and Inter Milan are in the semi-finals of the premier class. Only the Bundesliga is left out of the so-called “top five leagues”.
Not much was missing – FC Bayern Munich resigned after a narrow defeat and a draw despite the increase in opportunities against Inter Milan in the quarter -finals of the premier class. And even Borussia Dortmund was not that far from the “miracle” in the second leg against FC Barcelona, the 0: 4 to turn the second leg. But in the end it was still out for both.
Three leaders and one second in the semi -finals
The Premier League, the Spanish Primera Division, the Series A, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 form the quintet, which is generally referred to as “top-five leagues”. According to at least the theory, they will stand out a piece of the rest of the football European.
Now the league leader of Primera Divison, that of Serie A, the master of Ligue 1 and the second from the Premier League are the four teams that are still balancing around the “Henkelpott”. Even though it will be played in Munich at the end.
Fifth CL starting area would no longer have been possible
The departure of BVB and Bavaria has no direct consequences for the Bundesliga-the fifth Champions League-Platz for the coming season was already out of reach. The two countries receive this whose clubs have together in the current season. This will be the Premier League and either Spain or Italy.
However, the lack of presence in the final round of the Great European competition should still be in pain for international reputation and marketing of the Bundesliga. Good performances in the back games or not.
