A group representing domestic football leagues is hopeful of killing plans to make Champions League places dependent on historic performance, believing they will find “common ground” with Uefa to stop the controversial proposal.
The European Leagues, which represents domestic competitions from across the continent including the Premier League, said that they believed their support for qualification on “sporting merit” and a lower number of fixtures in a still expanded Champions League would result in a “wise and good” decision by Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin.
