 | | Official: At equal performance, Chelsea and Arsenal will play a playoff for the Champions League15.05.2013 |
The teams of Arsenal and Chelsea will play a special playoff for the entry into the Champions League in the event that the two teams finish the season with absolutely equal performance - points and goal difference. Arsenal won with 4:1 over Wigan thus "Gunners" collected a total of 70 points with goal difference plus 34 goals.
This means that if the final round Chelsea drew with Everton at "Stamford Bridge", Arsene Wenger's team must beat Newcastle with one goal and at the same time to score one goal more than Chelsea in the last game. Then the performance of both teams will be absolutely equal.
The third place in England gives the right to directly participate in the group stage of the Champions League, without the need for the team to go through the sieve of the preliminary rounds.
If it comes to a similar outcome, the additional match between Chelsea and Arsenal will be as soon as possible after the end of the season and most likely will take place in London.
