The biggest contribution to the overall success was made by "Dynamo". \n \nThree draws by "Shakhtar", "Dnipro" and "Dynamo" in the first matches of the 1/16 finals of the UEFA Cup brought a record 38.5 rating points for Ukraine and the highest coefficient in all the years of our country's participation in European competitions - 7.7. By this indicator in the 2004/05 season, Ukraine retains seventh place in the European club ranking. Ahead of us are only the strongest five of the top championships and Holland (8.166), behind - Russia (6.5). \n \nHowever, despite the record of this season, it is unlikely that Ukraine will be able to rise above 13th place in the overall ranking of countries, which determines the representation of football federations in European cup tournaments and the stages from which clubs start in the Champions League and UEFA Cup. The Ukrainian coefficient is 24.450, while the Czech Republic's is 27.950. \n \nThe contribution of Ukrainian clubs to the ranking of the current season is as follows: "Dynamo" - 12 points, "Shakhtar" - 11.5, "Dnipro" - 10.5, "Illichivets" - 2.5, "Metalurh" Donetsk - 2 points.
