An unusual event may occur in European cups.
Idman.biz reports that Chelsea may have to choose which European tournament to participate in next season.
The English club, which has reached the final of the Conference League, will face Betis in the decisive match. If the London representative wins this match, they will qualify for the main stage of the Europa League.
The "Blues" are also close to finishing the season in the "top five" in the Premier League. If the Londoners can do this, they will qualify for the Champions League.
According to UEFA rules, if the same club qualifies for two tournaments, it will choose which one to play in. But for this, "Chelsea" must cope with both tasks.
There is no doubt that the English representative will choose the Champions League. Because even if they participate in this tournament, they will start from the main stage.
This rule may only result in representatives of weak leagues making a different choice. These teams may prefer the League stage of the Europa League directly, fearing to stop the fight early in the qualifying stages of the Champions League.
It should be noted that the final of the Conference League will be held on May 28.
