As well as in 2026 it will start the 'new' World-wide of the FIFA, where will have 48 teams instead of 32, the UEFA has scheduled for 2024 a 'new' version of the Champions League. This will have more teams and a greater quantity of parties, what translate in extra income of the usual for the arks of the international organism. Besides, will have the called 'wildcards' or 'jokers', something that has caused big controversial.

These 'wildcards' will be 'invitations' awarded in base to the two better coefficients inside the ránking of the UEFA. That is to say, a 'blindaje' so that the powerful and historical clubs do not remain without playing the League of Champions owing to a bad season. If this new rule was at present in force, so much Manchester City like Bayern Munich would have ensured a square like this do not appear in the first four places of his corresponding leagues.

However, these 'invitations' can not be 'jumped'. The team that opt by this contingent will have to remain classified in the back place to the last that give access to the Champions (in case of Spain, Italy, England and Germany, from the fifth place). That is to say, if the Barcelona remains seventh in LaLiga, will not be able to jump to the fifth and to the sixth. His only option is to remain in the fifth position and be invited if it keeps the necessary coefficient.

This ránking of the UEFA obtains by the exert that they have had the clubs in the last five years in European competitions. They take in account the quantity of victories, the phases surpassed and the titles obtained. It is the same that it uses to determine the bass drums in the draws of the League of Champions. These two contingents 'extra' would not elevate the quantity of teams participants by country, since they would have five in the maximum competition and one less in the Conference League.

In spite of that it still is not official, Aleksander Ceferin, president of the maximum organism of the European football, said around the middle of April during the last Executive Committee that in the next month could have novelties on the subject. In spite of this, the time runs, since the current format culminates in 2024 and for the next campaign have to know with security all the criteria of classification.
