# 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**.
