Europe's élite finally confirmed
Monday, June 23, 2003
Article summary
The lineup for the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League is complete after title wins for Real Madrid CF and FC København.
Article body
Madrid title The four Spanish contenders were already known, as was the order in which they would enter the competition, but Sunday's domestic finale ensured Real Madrid CF, who will start in the group stage, will take part as Primera División champions. Runners-up Real Sociedad de Fútbol will also avoid the third qualifying round, which is where RC Deportivo La Coruña and RC Celta de Vigo will begin.
FCK triumph The last remaining issue was whether FC København or Brøndby IF would be Denmark's entrants, a matter settled by FCK's title success on Sunday after a 4-1 win against AGF Århus. FCK will go into the second qualifying round while Brøndby will have to settle for the UEFA Cup.
As they stand The lineup for next season's Champions League is as follows, with club coefficients attached:
