Here is the official ranking of the clubs participating in this year's CL for those that had the discussion on that earlier, if someone is still unclear on that. Milan is ranked #8 currently but can move up to #7 if Sevilla doesn't make it.

Still first Tied though, but still first!

Thanks, great info.

That means these clubs have been more regular/constant in CL than us in the last 5 years, and that's just a shame.

PS: And there is also Liverpool who is higher than us in the table (more points), but they're in Europa League. Just imagine (which will probably happen) that Sevilla qualifies, we'll be the 8th team, well, we'll be a seeded team thanks to Liverpool.

8th is barely enough to be first seed, hope that we'll have a good draw.

I think we need at least be in quater-final as the chance for all 8 best coefficient teams be there at the same time is small (one/some of them will drop points), and when we are at the quater-final, we often goes further

I think we can, last year if we were more competitive for 1st place (we had chance after defeat Real & Marseille), Lyon was of course a easier opponent. We just lost the normal attitude in Champion League. This season will be different.

Ilsinho is overrated. Very skilled, but I can't see he helping us at RB position. Unless Shaktar thought him a new way to play.

Thank Brasileiro.
