However, qualification for the Europa 12 is limited to two teams per country, and the only way to do so is by winning the Champions League. Liverpool failed to advance to the finals of this tournament and were eliminated, and Manchester united also will not play in the United States after the group stage is completed. Arsenal could still succeed if they become European champions for the first time in 2023/24.
Owners FSG will be disappointed to see Liverpool lose out, given the commercial opportunities and the potential $63 million they would earn playing at their home stadium (via The Guardian). Meanwhile, manager Jurgen Klopp can be personally relieved that his players are not being pushed to breaking point.The 2025 Club World Cup winning team will play seven more matches this season, which runs until July 13. This comes almost exactly 11 months to the newly announced start date of the 2024/25 Premier League season on August 17. With the expansion of the Champions League, English clubs who have now reached the finals of the four major cup competitions could theoretically play 74 games over the course of the campaign (with two more games added for the first leg of the Champions League). If the teams finish 9th and 24th overall, a two-game playoff could be played before the Round of 16. For reference, that’s 11 more games than Liverpool played in their 2021/22 marathon top-four chasing season.
If so, the Reds have the advantage over Chelsea, City and possibly Arsenal of having a summer off at the end of next season. But most players won’t have that luxury this year.Mohamed Salah (Egypt) and Wataru Endo (Japan) will compete for the top spots at next month’s Africa Cup of Nations and Asian Cup respectively, while two other major international competitions are scheduled for the summer at the European Championships (Germany ). Completed. . from June 14 to July 14) and the America’s Cup (scheduled from June 20 to July 14 in the United States). Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo (Netherlands), Trent Alexander-Arnold (England), Ibrahima Konate (France), Diogo Iota (Portugal), Andy Robertson (Scotland), Alisson (Brazil), Alexis McAllister (Argentina). , Luis Diaz (Colombia) and Darwin Núñez (Uruguay) will be selected for the national team, and Kostas Tsimikas will play for Greece if they progress to the play-offs. Others, like Ryan Gravenbirch, could still work for the national team. Simply put, Liverpool’s biggest stars will all be on duty, and history suggests they will have a three-week break after the tournament ends.
The semi-finalists or finalists don’t return until early August and have the best of two weeks to prepare for the Premier League opener, but that means they are short on fitness. their teammates. It ruled out the possibility of a reasonable new deal, and the risk of selling out at the end of the season was high. Klopp may be happy that Liverpool have been knocked out of the Club World Cup, but the reality is that there will be no rest for his side. This is the new reality given the nature of the current football program.
Liverpool will not take part in the first expanded Club World Cup in the United States in 2025 as FIFA clarified the qualification formula this week. Currently, there are only three teams that have won the Champions League: Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid.This season’s winner will be joined by either City or Real, otherwise the remaining 8th place will be determined by the UEFA coefficient ranking.
