Big Chief Toffee Teeth Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Of the 20 teams in this year's 3rd Qualifying Round, by my counting, 5 teams have accumulated 9 Champions League / European Cups between them.Of the 26 automatic Group Stage Qualifiers, if you take eight of them away, the rest have one such trophy between them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
