The first rounds of the Champions League and Europa League group stages are over. Club Brugge and Royal Antwerp FC ensured two Belgian victories. While KAA Gent and Standard lost European. Despite the varying Belgian successes, our country is slightly ahead of the Netherlands in the UEFA ranking.
Club Brugge set a good example in the Champions League against Zenit Saint Petersburg on Tuesday. In Russia, Blauw-Zwart won 1-2. Antwerp then booked a 1-2 against Ludogorets on Thursday. Unfortunately for our country, KAA Gent lost 1-0 to Slovan Liberec. While Standard lost 0-2 to Rangers. Belgium is still in eighth place in the UEFA ranking. This year, the Belgian clubs collected 3,200 points. In total – seen over five years, our country counts 33,700 points.
Competition also hit and miss
The Netherlands follows in ninth place with 32,800. Our northern neighbors only booked one win this week. AZ managed to stunt against Napoli. In Italy it won 0-1. Feyenoord got no further than a 0-0 draw against Dinamo Zagreb. Ajax lost 0-1 to Liverpool and PSV went into the boat with 1-2 against Granada.
Austria has to give up more ground: Wolfsberger AC took a point against CSKA Moscow, but Rapid Wien and LASK Linz had to swallow a defeat. Ukraine was unable to continue after Shakhtar’s sensational Champions League victory against Real Madrid. Leicester City was a size too big for Zorya Luhansk at home. The number eleven in the ranking remains at a safe distance for the time being, just like Turkey: Sivasspor scored three times against Villarreal, but also conceded five goals and could not contribute to the coefficient race. Scotland has even taken over twelfth place.
The current top fifteen of the coefficient rankings
1. Spain 82,569 (4,214) (7/7)
2. England 80,997 (4,785) (7/7)

15. Cyprus 27.250 (3.500) (1/4)
(In brackets the number of points for this season and the number of European participants)
‘Our’ place in the top-eleven – and therefore a Champions League ticket for the Belgian champion of 2022 – has therefore not been jeopardized during the first group matches of the season. The numbers 8 and 9 in Europe are entitled to the same number of European tickets. We can already look forward to next season, when the points from 2016/2017 will expire: the Netherlands will deliver a score of 9,100, Belgium no less than 12,500.
