AC Milan have booked their spot in the 2023-24 edition of the Champions League but they face the prospect of a tougher draw than this season.
As MilanNews reports, only the winner of the Europa League – which will be determined tonight – remains to be discovered and then the 26 sides who automatically qualify for the group stages will be locked in.
Napoli are already certain of being Pot One in the draw because they are the champions of Italy, while the others will be the league winners of England, Spain, Germany, France, Portugal plus the winners of the Champions League in 2022-23 and the Europa League too.
