It's still possible UEFA end up using the coefficient rankings to decide which clubs make it into the Champions League next season.

Arsenal will get to pretend they're playing in the Champions League instead of the Europa League when they play on Wednesday next month instead of Thursday, but what's that about?

European co-efficients are a funny thing and never moreso than this season when Arsenal are ranked above United, Spurs and Chelsea despite being in the Europa League once again.

Jose Mourinho has expressed his sympathy to Arsenal and Chelsea fans who are unable to attend the Europa League final in Baku while pointing out there is much more pressure on Arsenal to win the game than his old club.

UEFA's own report stated that Baku was not fit to host the Champions League or Europa League final, claiming that local university dormitories and campsites would be needed to house supporters.

Arsenal have been handed a £13,000/€15,000 fine following the pitch invader and late kick-off of their home game against Qarabag in December.

Arsenal are reportedly facing a ‘staffing crisis’ due to the early nature of their Europa League last-32 kick-off time against BATE Borisov.
