SHOCK DECISION: UEFA Grants ACA Milan Europa League Spot Despite 8th Place Finish
June 7, 2025 – Milan, Italy
In a stunning twist that has se shockwaves through European football, UEFA has officially granted AC Milan a place in the 2025–26 UEFA Europa League—despite the Rossoneri finishing 8th in Serie A.
The controversial decision comes after a series of administrative issues and club licensing problems involving multiple Italian clubs who finished above Milan. Atalanta, Bologna, and Fiorentina were all deemed ineligible due to various Financial Fair Play violations and stadium licensing irregularities.
UEFA issued a statement late Friday night:
“After a thorough review of club documentation and compliance status, the UEFA Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) has ruled that AC Milan meets all the necessary requirements to participate in the 2025–26 Europa League. The decision is final and binding.”
The move has sparked outrage among rival fans, particularly those of Bologna and Atalanta, who feel robbed of European competition after historic seasons. Meanwhile, AC Milan supporters flooded social media in celebration, with #MilanInEurope trending across Italy within minutes of the announcement.
Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani expressed cautious optimism:
“While we respect our rivals, we have always believed that our professionalism off the pitch would pay off. We are grateful to UEFA for recognizing our commitment to the rules.”
UEFA insiders suggest that Milan’s high UEFA coefficient and large fanbase played an unspoken role in the decision, as broadcasters were reportedly pressuring the governing body for more “marketable” clubs in next season’s competition.
While many are questioning the integrity of the decision, one thing is clear: the Europa League just got a lot more interesting.
