Nine English clubs have played in the Champions League: Here is how they rank based on results

Leicester City became the first English team to confirm their qualification for next season’s Champions League following the results last weekend.

Should the Foxes carry on their form and lift the Premier League title, they will be among the top seeds for next year’s competition, so will expect to do better by avoiding some of the bigger sides.

They will be England’s tenth representatives in the competition since the European Cup was revamped and rebranded as the Champions League in 1993.

But how do the previous nine participants from England rank with their performances in the tournament?

talkSPORT worked out the points total for each side if every win (including knockout games) counted as three points and every draw as a point.

Only games from the Champions League group stages and further were counted, so that rules out Everton’s involvement as they crashed out in the qualifying and thus didn’t make the actual tournament.
