Winning the Scudetto is a legitimate target for AC Milan this season and it would also have a big impact on next season too, a report claims.
La Repubblica (via MilanLive) writes how Milan are waiting to confirm their place in the Champions League also for the 2022-23 season but in the meantime the club must also think about their UEFA ranking.
Milan are in 43rd place in the UEFA club rankings which is obviously largely down to non-participation in the Champions League all but one of the previous eight seasons, plus their exclusive from the 2019-20 Europa League due to a Settlement Agreement.
As of today, Milan would once again be placed in the fourth pot in the draws of the group stage of the Champions League which landed them Porto, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid this season, but winning the Scudetto would give them an automatic passage into pot one.
The eight seeded teams are selected based on the results of the previous season so it will be the winners of the Champions League and the Europa League, plus the six champions of their respective top European leagues.
