Representatives of the European football union have stated that they do not intend to include the 2005 Champions League winner, the English "Liverpool," in next year's tournament. As is known, the English finished only fifth in their country's championship, and this does not give them the right to participate in the main European football club tournament.\n\n"I am very sympathetic to this team, and I want them to play in the Champions League, however rules are rules. We cannot change them in the middle of the season. The Football Association of England has already announced that the fourth club from the country to compete in the Champions League is 'Everton,'" the statement by UEFA press officer William Gaillard says.\n
