While the Premier League title-race might be going down to the wire, it’s a rather different case elsewhere across the continent with the champions of Spain, Germany, France, Portugal and Netherlands already decided with games left to play.
Along with England and Italy, they are the top seven nations in the UEFA country coefficients. As a result, we already have an idea of some of the sides Liverpool could face in the Champions League group-stages in 2022/23, having already qualified for next season's tournament in what will be the penultimate edition in the current format before its 2024 revamp.
The national champions of England, Spain, Italy, Germany, France and Portugal will all be in pot one for next season’s Champions League group-stages, along with the winners of the European Cup and Europa League. Depending on the outcome of both the Premier League title-race and the Champions League final, this season’s Eredivisie champion could also find themselves seeded in pot one too.
