Portugal Euro 2024: Potential Ranking & Content Writer Roles

The victory of Sporting about the PSG but, more than that, the mathematical guarantee of passage, at least, to the play-offgiven that the league phase of the UEFA Champions League below 19th place, gave an important boost to Portugal’s race for 6th place in the ranking also UEFA.

The triumph earned the Lions 2 points, and therefore 0.400 for Portugal: the points obtained are divided by the number of clubs that entered European competitions this season. But to this we must add another 1.5 points for the lions for the minimum place, 19th, that they will obtain in the classification.

As a result, Portugal added another 0.700 points this week. It is true that the Ajaxthe only club from the Netherlands in action yesterday, also won (in Spain, against Villarreal), but this gave only 0.333 points (2 divided by 6 clubs) to ranking Dutch.

Portugal is now 2,129 points behind the Netherlands, after starting the season at 5,284. And the prospects of overtaking the Dutch and regaining sixth place have never been so bright.

They actually go through the Benficaand for what the Reds manage to do today in Turin, and further on – the continuity in the Champions League, between bonuses and the possibility of adding more points in the play-offwill be decisive. But in UEFA Europa League FC Porto e SC Braga They are also well on their way to reaching the round of 16, and there, too, the bonuses for the final classification in the league stage can make a difference. In the Champions League, PSV is 21st and Ajax 31st (and almost eliminated) at the moment and in the Europa League the three Dutch representatives are outside the qualifying zone for the play-off: o Go Ahead Eagles is 28th, the Feyenoord 30th and the Utrecht 32.º.

Sixth place in ranking from UEFA for five years gives three places in the Champions League (two direct, one in the third qualifying round); seventh, which Portugal currently occupies, is worth only one direct place and one place in the third qualifying round.

Ranking anual

In the annual ranking, which gives an additional place in the 2026/2027 Champions League to each of the top two at the end of the season, the points obtained by Sporting were worth Portugal overtaking France. Still, one point behind Germany (Poland has no more points this month, because the league phase of the UEFA Conference League, where it has three representatives, has already ended), Portugal will have little chance of finishing in one of those top two places.
