The remaining five are for Bayern Munich, PSG, Inter, Porto and Benfica. And then there are the remaining four, and of which one of them is for the winner of the 2024 Champions League. Then it will stick to the three and the initial premise of FIFA never repeat a club from the same country. For now, those four places are for Borussia Dortmund, Atlético de Madrid, Juventus Turin and Salzburg. That is, for now and except for surprise, the FC Barcelona will be left in this premiere of the new format created by FIFA unless he gets in by winning the Champions League, which would give him direct access. But this is not the only historic club that will be left behind, there are others Liverpool, Milan, Naples and Lazio. All of them also have options at the beginning by ranking. More worrying is the case of clubs of the stature of Manchester United or the Ajaxwithout any choice.
