No Plans To Change Rules - Uefa
5/26/2005 11:47:00 AM
Uefa have insisted that they have no plans to change the rules which prevent Liverpool defending the Champions League.
The Reds claimed the trophy after a penalty shoot-out win over Milan on Wednesday night, but as they didn’t finish in the top four in the Premiership, they do not have an automatic right to re-enter the competition next season.
"The rules are what they are," Uefa spokesman William Gaillard told Radio Five Live. "They were used already once when Real Madrid won...and actually were not among the qualifiers in the Spanish league.
"The Spanish FA told us they would replace the fourth-placed team - Real Zaragoza - with Real Madrid. It is a tough decision to make but it is not for us to make, it is for the FA and they told us Everton would be the fourth English club.
"Rules are rules and they were passed for a very good reason."
