# Manchester City could face Bayern Munich, Roma or Villarreal in Champions
League qualifying stage
## Manchester City's entry to the Champions League following victory over
Tottenham last night is not yet complete, the road to the group stages isn't
necessarily straightforward. Roberto Mancini's side could still face a
European power in qualifying.

**La Liga**
**Allocated places:** four (3 automatic 1 qualifying)
**Likely outcome: **Barcelona and Real Madrid have already secured automatic
entry and the third guaranteed spot is currently being fought over by Valencia
and **Villarreal**. With three matches to play the former lead the latter by
five points and [**Manchester City**][6] are therefore more likely to come up
against the 2006 Champions League semi-finalists, who beat Everton in
qualifying that season.
**Serie A**
**Allocated places:** four (3 automatic, 1 qualifying)
**Likely outcome**: as things stand AC Milan, Inter and Napoli will clinch the
automatic spots leaving **Udinese**, **Roma** and **Lazio** to battle it out
for fourth. **Juventus** have an outside chance but nothign changes between
now and the end of the season Udinese will join City in the qualifying stages.
**Bundesliga**
**Allocated places: **three (2 automatic, 1 qualifying)
**Likely outcome: **Borussia Dortmund are champions and Bayern Leverkusen look
set to take the second automatic place in Germany. In the race for third
place, **Bayern Munich** hold a five point lead over Hannover with three
matches to play.
**Ligue 1**
**Allocated places:** three (2 automatic, 1 qualifying)
**Likely outcome: **the top two sides in the French League will take the
automatic places. As things stand these belong to Lille and Marseille with
either **Lyon** or **Paris Saint Germain** likely to take third place. Slips
ups from them however could make way for Rennes.
**Eredivisie**
**Allocated places: **two (one automatic one qualifying)
**Likely outcome: **Currently just three points divide the three sides within
touching distance of the Champions League; leaders **FC Twente**, **Ajax **and
**PSV Eindhoven**.
