The Fight to Avoid the Europa League

That table is only the automatic qualifiers. It will look different if the likes of Man United qualify.

There's has been a change in seeding rule.

[article=http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/european/champions-league-seedings-change-arsenal-manchester-united-and-manchester-city-will-all-suffer-next-season-10196467.html] "The first group comprises the title holder (top seed) and the domestic champions of the seven top-ranked associations in accordance with the access list.

"If the title holder is one of the top seven associations' domestic champions, the group is completed with the champion of the association ranked eight."[/article]

Thus, even if Man Utd qualify, they won't be top seeds.
 
So CSKA will be a top seed and Real won't, despite being one of the top four clubs, which is a bit mad. But I do like they are giving league winners an advantage, so it's hard to argue it.
