UEFA ponders Champions League seeding changes
UEFA, the governing body of football in Europe, is considering how to change the seedings for the Champions League clubs, with one option guaranteeing top-seeding to winners of high-ranked leagues.
Currently, UEFA ranks clubs over five years of competition results, leaving national champions Manchester City, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain among top seeded teams, reports Xinhua.
The coaching adviser Alex Ferguson, who chaired a two-day UEFA meeting of top coaches, thinks the seeding adjustment is not important.
Ferguson, a two-time Champions League winner with Manchester United, says "I don't necessarily think the seeding plays a great part" in group draws.
"You take what you get and your performance is the most important thing," he added.
