From 2015 and until 2018, they will change some current norms of the UEFA Champions League. The criterion to choose to the heads of series will change and will choose to the champions, whereas a same federation will be able to have until five teams represented

As it has informed the newspaper "MD", in an information advanced days before by the same newspaper jointly with "The Gazzetta dello Sport", the UEFA would be about to to approve a change of methodology that will affect in some appearances to the trienio 2015-2018 regarding the Champions League, although the changes will not be neither too significant. The main will have to see with a change in the politics of election of the heads of series. If before they chose by the best coefficient and assessment of the European clubs, now will choose only and exclusively to the champion of the previous edition of the Champions and to the victorious of the seven European leagues with greater coefficient.

It treats of the competitions of Spain, England, Italy, Germany, France, Portugal and Russia, although so that between in force said normative will have to be approved still by the Executive Committee of the UEFA. The idea would have arisen of the Commission Interclubs and of the ECA (European Association of Clubs) after they have appeared during the last years teams of "new rich" with a big potential that, by his history, do not have the sufficient coefficient as to be in the first bass drum in spite of being winning of his Leagues. 

It is the case of the Manchester City, that in the last years always has formed part of some "group of the death" when having remained placed with another champion of any of the main competitions of Europe. From now, the change will be able to plant to teams like Manchester City, Benfica, Zenith of St. Petersburg, Athletic of Madrid or Monaco -in case that they win his respective domestic tournaments- in the first bass drum independently of which was his coefficient, like prize by his performance during the past season. 

In another direction, another of the appearances that will change is that it will reward with a place to the winner of the UEFA Champions League and of the Europe League, so that a same federation could have until five teams. If said changes had applied this season, Spain would have five representatives in Champions adding to the Seville, that won the Europe League the past season in spite of not remaining between the four first qualifiers in League BBVA.
