12- 13 How is it possible for Italy, AC Milan and Juventus to win the Champions League? There seem to be four in Britain every year. Why?

The ranking of the European Football Association is based on the points of the past five years. The 22 teams directly entering the group stage are: defending champions of the Champions League, No.65438 +0-3, top three, No.4-6 of the Football Association, top two, No.7 of the Football Association-12, champions of the Football Association League, 13 (if the defending champions of the Champions League have already qualified for the Champions League through league ranking). The basic distribution principle is: straight. Join 22 teams in the group stage+5 teams in the champion group+5 teams in the non-champion group. Due to the uncertainty of having a defending champion, the distribution rules of the qualifiers will be different (the number of qualifications of each football association is the same). In most cases: the defending champions have already qualified for the Champions League group stage through the league. The first round of the qualifying tournament is arranged as follows (4 teams and 4 games): the champion of the 50th-53rd Football Association League will participate in the second round of the qualifying tournament (34 teams and 34 games), and the champion of the 65438th+07-49th Football Association League+the second team that won the first round of the third round of the qualifying tournament. In order to take care of the interests of the weak football countries, the knockout matches were held in two groups (20+ 10 teams, 2 rounds, 30 games). The champion of the Football Association in the second round 17+ 14- 16 participated in the fourth round of the non-champion group (the third round of the Champions League, 10 teams), and the runner-up of the Football Association ranged from 7 to 15+ from 6 (65438) to 20. The team that won the third round of the Champions League play-offs+the 4th-5th runner-up of the Football Association+the 3rd runner-up of the Football Association. Under special circumstances: the defending champion fails to obtain the qualification through league ranking, or the defending champion only obtains the qualification through league ranking (the champion group is different from the non-champion group), or the number of champions in the league where the defending champion belongs is less than four, the qualification allocation scheme will be different, but the basic principle of 22+5+5 remains unchanged.

Maybe Serie A ranked lower and there was no breakthrough in the play-offs.
