The winners of the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League and 2014–15 UEFA Europa League were each given an additional entry if they would not qualify for the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League through their domestic league.Associations 16–54 (except Liechtenstein) each have one team qualify.Associations 7–15 each have two teams qualify.Associations 4–6 each have three teams qualify.Associations 1–3 each have four teams qualify.
The association ranking based on the UEFA country coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association: Ī total of 78 teams from 53 of the 54 UEFA member associations participated in the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League (the exception being Liechtenstein, which does not organise a domestic league). However, if both the Champions League title holders and the Europa League title holders are from the same top three ranked association and finish outside the top four of their domestic league, the fourth-placed team of their association will be moved to the Europa League. The previous limit of a maximum of four teams per association will be increased to five, meaning that if the Champions League title holders or the Europa League title holders are from the top three ranked associations (but not both from the same one) and finish outside the top four of their domestic league, the fourth-placed team of their association will not be prevented from participating in the tournament.They will enter at least the play-off round, and will enter the group stage if the berth reserved for the Champions League title holders is not used. The winners of the previous season's UEFA Europa League will qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
The UEFA Executive Committee held in May 2013 approved the following changes to the UEFA Champions League starting from the 2015–16 season (for the three-year cycle until the 2017–18 season): It was the second time in the tournament's history that both finalists were from the same city, after the same clubs faced each other in the 2014 final.Īs the winners of the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid qualified as the UEFA representative for the 2016 FIFA Club World Cup in Japan (their third Club World Cup appearance), and also earned the right to play against the winners of the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League, Sevilla, in the 2016 UEFA Super Cup. The final was played between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid at the San Siro in Milan, Italy, with Madrid defeating Atlético 5–3 on penalties (1–1 after extra time) to win a record-extending eleventh European Cup/Champions League title. Barcelona were the title holders, but were eliminated by Atlético Madrid in the quarter-finals. The 2015–16 UEFA Champions League was the 61st season of Europe's premier club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 24th season since it was renamed from the European Champion Clubs' Cup to the UEFA Champions League.
