Zenit ih ubija iz kontranapada. To je to, Spartak ostaje bez Europe iduće sezone osim ako ne osvoji Kup ili igra tamo u finalu protiv kluba koji je osigurao LP (Rubin, CSKA, Dinamo Moskva) ili osvoji Kup Uefa. :)

 

Unatoč tome što su svi mediji prenijeli vijest da poraženi finalisti više ne mogu u Europu, UEFA tu odluku uopće nije donijela. Ta promjena bila je samo na razini prijedloga koji je na Izvršnom odboru UEFE odbijen. Dakle, ni za sljedeću sezonu ništa se ne mijenja. Spartak ako se plasira u finale ruskog kupa i tamo izgubi primjerice od CSKA-a, svejedno ide u Europsku ligu.

 

"Having originally assured journalists that a recommendation to scrap cup runners-up competing in the newly named competition had sailed through, the proposal was in fact quashed. UEFA's top brass, it seems, was over-ruled by its own members. And that makes bad reading for the SFA and SPL who had made it clear they were in favour of as many European places as possible reverting to league placings.

"The fact is that the executive committee did not accept the change proposed by our club competitions committee," UEFA general secretary David Taylor told Scotland on Sunday. "That means we stick with the current position. The feeling is there is a better opportunity, through these means, for smaller clubs to sample European competition since many of them will find it very difficult to finish third, fourth or fifth."

Taylor denied that preserving the cup runners-up policy would fly in the face of the entire rebranding principle, designed to boost the status and stature of the UEFA Cup. But he admitted that Scotland was among "a significant minority" who had wanted domestic cup runners-up to stay out. "A number of countries, including Scotland, were concerned that weaker clubs were getting access to the competition, not performing well and dragging down the national co-efficient. But they are out of step with the rest of Europe."
