Three teams qualified for the UCL through the playoffs: Kairat Almaty, Pafos, and Qarabağ, which are quite unfamiliar to me. But they managed to qualify, so I think they are indeed great. This means that they deserve their place in the UCL. But I hope they don't just become a source of points for the big teams that are regulars in the UCL. Here is a list of the opponents for these three teams.
Kairat Almaty | - Real Madrid - Inter Milan - Club Brugge - Arsenal - Olympiakos - Sporting CP - Pafos - Copenhagen |
Pafos | - Bayern München - Chelsea - Villarreal - Juventus - Slavia Praha - Olympiakos - Monaco - Kairat Almaty |
Qarabağ | - Napoli - Athletic Club Bilbao - Chelsea - Liverpool - Eintracht Frankfurt - Benfica - Ajax - Copenhagen |
What do you think? I think the chances of passing the preliminary round are very slim and seem impossible.
