Some interesting stuff coming from France btw. Because you love my UEFA Coefficiency points shit so much, I continue with them. Lyon is getting out of the championship race in France and at the moment they are sixth in the league. It's very unlikely they can win it anymore, but it's pretty tough for them to reach even CL spots. There is Bordeaux leading the pack, 5p ahead with a match in hand. Then there is Montpellier 5p ahead, Auxerre 4p ahead and Marseille 2p ahead with a match in hand.
What this means to Inter? Inter is 11th in Team ranking and for example teams like Liverpool, Sevilla, Lyon and Werder Bremen ahead of it. If three of those four teams fail to qualify to the CL, we can get back to the first pot. Werder looks pretty certain they won't make it, so we need 2/3 of the remaining teams I mentioned. With 'Pool it looks pretty tough too, they would have to play like motherfuckers for the rest of their season to beat both Spurs and ManC.
Sevilla is not fourth at the moment but they are so close I think they will eventually qualify, they will beat Mallorca in that competition. So Lyon comes as the third required team to fuck up their CL qualification.
It would be huge for Inter to get back to that pot. We would get some credibility again (though RM is also in 2nd pot, but they are a joke), and foremost, we wouldn't have to face some tough opponents in the group. Thus having better chance to get lesser opponents in Round of 16. And that way getting our Euro confidence high on a constant basis. And more coeff-points in group stage to cement our place in the first pot again.
