Italy and Germany have earned an extra spot in the Champions League next season after their clubs performed well in European competitions this season, Europe's soccer governing body Uefa said on Friday.
With the Champions League expanding to 36 teams next season, Uefa said two of the four additional places would be filled by European Performance Spots which go to associations "with the best collective performance by their clubs" in Uefa competitions.
After the semifinal legs of the Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League concluded this week, Uefa said Italy and Germany are guaranteed to finish in the top two of the 2023-24 association club coefficients.
