Of course, while I have no desire to see City or Chelsea do well in the CL, we do need to be careful our co-efficient doesn't go down. So I have mixed feelings on this game.
We had a great co-efficient in the 2010-11 season (3 teams in the QF, and a finalist), which will go out of the rankings next year. Germany could well overtake after this season, and while Italy and Portugal are some way back, it would be a step in the wrong direction.
