FK Partizan

Apperently FK Partizan has been banned by UEFA.[1] [2] Could be good to know if they should qualify. Qed237 (talk) 13:10, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, time to talk about this. Ban is still in effect? Qed237 (talk) 20:45, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like ban is lifted according to ESPN. Qed237 (talk) 20:53, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

UEFA is slow to update. Here is official document from CAS. Qed237 (talk) 21:02, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Coefficient for AS Monaco

Please update coefficient for AS Monaco because Olympique Lyon has been eliminated by Dutch Ajax. --31.0.122.97 (talk) 18:52, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

RB Leipzig & Salzbug

Both teams cannot play concurrently the same UEFA competition, because they both have the same owner. 213.27.184.202 (talk) 13:31, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Decision will be taken by UEFA in June. They have changed the owner structures in recent years so they might both play. Qed237 (talk) 13:34, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, seems like this problem is solved. Matchbeak (talk) 21:03, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Serie A & SuperLig

Roma & Napoli have one point difference and another one match to play ; positions are not definitives Besiktas have two matchs to play and is not officially champion — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB00:46:400:AC83:6AF3:15D5:22AA (talk) 07:42, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Seeding

Just like before I have prepared seeding which can be shown in User:Qed237/sandbox6. It will be updated in the article after this season has been finished (coefficients confirmed) and all teams have qualified (i.e. all leagues has ended).

If you see any errors, please let me know. Qed237 (talk) 11:22, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Legia Warsaw is NOT the Polish champion yet. Marek Łabuda (talk) 19:36, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Once again it is User:Huba06 adding this false information. Qed237 (talk) 09:19, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar

Qed237, your recent correction does not make sense. The note clearly talks about a single entity, a French club, yet your justification for reverting my correction was "because they are". In the same note in following parentheses it is stated "which is". So how is that "they are"?? Since when Monaco is plural? Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 20:45, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm assuming it was reverted for consistency within the article, as elsewhere "are" is used when referring to a single club, e.g. "Real Madrid are the two-time defending champions." Boothy m (talk) 23:42, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A team is considered to contain players and they are therefore plural. I have looked into this in the past and it has been discussed at WT:FOOTY. The best source I can find at the moment (dont have time to look now) is this with information like

Most publications that use American English apply a logical approach to refer to groups with such names by using singular verbs and pronouns, but most written in British English, apparently valuing consistency over logic, use plural forms. Whether the verb form for generic references is singular or plural — “The band is back on the road again” or “The band are back on the road again” — is, likewise, usually a matter of preference based on the variety of English employed.

This article uses British English and then we use are as most common. Qed237 (talk) 11:02, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

2018-19 Edition

When is the wiki page for the Champions League 2018-19 edition going to be added. Other years, the page was made around this time of year. Is there a specific reason it hasn't been added yet? — Preceding unsigned comment added by FistinPenguin (talk • contribs) 20:21, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It will be created when UEFA announces details about the new three-year cycle. Qed237 (talk) 10:02, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Assists statistics

Is that table really necessary? Seems a bit pointless to me. Govvy (talk) 22:35, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Funny. I thought it was about time that UEFA caught up with the rest of the planed in recording assists. Good on them. Better that we quickly caught the statistic and added it quickly as well. Giving credit for assists is long overdue. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:18, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Templates

This is first season using templates. Metufit (talk) 09:39, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is this just supposed to be a note, or are you making a point about something? – Pee Jay 09:47, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Winner is published wrong

It is Real Madrid who won but it is written as Liverpool what a big mistake 170.133.124.74 (talk) 22:30, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
