The Moldovan sensation is born! How did the Champions League playoffs spell the coefficients?

History is being rewritten! Sheriff Tiraspol qualify for the Champions League for the first time in the club’s history and are the first Moldovan team to play in Europe’s most prestigious competition. Is this promotion in any way advantageous for Czech football?

Absolutely yes, Sheriff did not lose once in the double-header with Dinamo Zagreb, sending the Croatian champions into the Europa League. From the point of view of coefficients, this is great for Czech football, the Croats are fighting with us for the coveted 15th place in the coefficient table.

Sheriff made it to the Champions League through 4 preliminary rounds! With a record of 6 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses. Thanks to the success of its champion, Moldova is the 34th country to send a representative to the prestigious competition.

Tiraspol did not have an easy draw, knocking out Crvena Zvezda Belgrade or Dinamo Zagreb. Could it be that the Moldovan team is an expert on Balkan teams? Anyway, from a distance, it is a great help for Czech football, so let’s take a look together at the joy of the players and the management team on Croatian soil.

On the other hand, Sheriff did not help Prague’s Sparta, who are currently relegated to the fourth basket of the Europa League thanks to his promotion. However, it can still dig itself out of it if teams with a worse coefficient than Sparta’s advance in the final Europa League play-off.

The good news is also the elimination of Danish champion Brøndby. Denmark is still a few points behind the Czech Republic, but they also have 4 teams like us in the game so far. The main reward for participating in the Champions League is 4 points in the coefficient table.
