France, fifth, is put under pressure by the Netherlands, sixth, in the UEFA index! Four out of five Dutch clubs still engaged in play -offs from the Champions League and the Europa League have all won their matches this week allowing their country to garner big points.

The Franco-French confrontation between Brest and Paris Saint-Germain does not help for the tricolor country (0-3). Although it may have the advantage of allowing to have another French representative, in addition to the LOSC, in the round of 16 C1, it does not allow the full box. In addition, the third French barragist club, AS Monaco, lost 0-1 against Benfica Lisbon not allowing France to obtain additional points in the classification.

A danger … not imminent

France, with a total of 69,379 points, still keeps a step ahead of the Netherlands (65,150 points), although the Dutch have won more than one thanks to this week's matches.

As a reminder, the classification of the UEFA index allows in particular to know how many clubs in a country the European highly instance can include in continental competitions.
