Winners of the Europa will more than likely go straight into the Group Stages :
• The UEFA Europa League winners will be entered in the UEFA Champions League (at a minimum level of the play-offs).
• The UEFA Europa League winners will be elevated into the group stage if the UEFA Champions League winners qualify directly for the UEFA Champions League group stage via their domestic league programme – something which has happened last season to the benefit of Sevilla, and indeed every year since the turn of the century bar 2005, 2007 and 2012.
Thanks for clarifying that, Lee.
Of course, Satan's XI will go straight into the group stage then.....we can't even hope they are beaten in the pre tournament tournament
