Kicked out of the Champions league for a few backhanders.

Will there be a draw for the extra place then?

Or will it go on fair play or something?

Surely it just goes to the next Portuguese team in line?

Fair play would be the only acceptable alternative.

It might just go to the highest ranked team who didn't qualify. Or something.

AC Milan, in that case.

Given Platini stated he wanted more teams from the 'lesser' nations to qualify, that would be a bit hypocritical.

Just dump the Portugese spots down in line. Easy.

It would be a joke if AC crept in through the backdoor again.

All the more dodgy after the fuss about England having five teams in the the competition a few years ago - it cannot happen! But we'll see...

Due to financial problems CSKA Sofia have today been denied a license to play in the Bulgarian league and the Bulgarian FA (BFU) has now stated that they will contact UEFA to request that they be expelled from the Champions League too.

Now they've been booted from the CL too, I wonder if any of their players are worth taking a look at.
