text: do the premier leagues have their own championships? can a team be a champions league winner without winning its premier league championship? do the tourneys run concurrently? how are opponents determined? i cant believe the basic idiocy of some people on here!top 6 teams qualify for champs league my arse! if u dont know dont answer! most top european leagues have 4 teams entering, but some have 3,2 or even just 1. all teams are not guarenteed to get into the group stages, in most cases the 1st and 2nd placed teams would automatically be in the groups, but some leagues(for example the welsh and irish leagues) the winners have to go through the qualifying rounds.
