Ukraine after the failure of Shakhtar and Dynamo learned its position in the UEFA coefficient ranking.


Ukrainian teams disappointed again in European cups
Donetsk Shakhtar and Kyiv Dynamo again failed to rectify their position in European cups. Shakhtar lost at home to Bayern with a score of 1:5, despite opening the scoring first. Dynamo also lost in Spain to Real Sociedad with a score of 0:3.
These defeats for Ukrainian teams were beneficial for their rivals. Cyprus and Sweden improved their standings in the UEFA ranking, overtaking Ukraine. Now Ukraine ranks 23rd with 23.400 points.
Cyprus has 23.975 points, while Sweden has 23.750. Serbia may also surpass Ukraine as they currently have 22.500 points. These three teams have the potential to improve their standings by the end of the group stage of the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League.
Before starting their journey in European cups, teams ranked 23rd and below will have to go through the qualification round.
It is worth noting that Kyiv Dynamo suffered their sixth consecutive defeat in the Europa League. In this match, the players under Oleksandr Shovkovskyi lost with a score of 0:3 to Real Sociedad.
