It's telling that of the 3 clubs that will make up the other 3, PSG and Bayern Munich are distancing themselves and nobody is saying who the third club will be but my guess that we get 6 clubs because we can "negotiate better terms with the TV guys" is sticking in some clubs throats when throughout the Prima Donna League years we've rarely won either of the European competitions.

So, since football was invented in 1992

Champions League (or whatever name you care to use)
1990's - 1 Man U
2000's - 2 Man U & Liverpool
2010's - 2 Chelski & Liverpool
2020's - not so much as a semi-finalist last season, we've got 2 this season.

UEFA Cup/Europa League and it's variants
1990's - nobody
2000's - 1 Liverpool
2010's - 3 Chelski (2) and Man U, the 2nd Chelski win was v Arsenal
2020's - we've got 2 semi finalists this season too

Hardly stellar is it?

I may have stumbled across why Spurs apparently qualify for this without winning anything of note since Danny Blanchflower retired.

They are third in this list
