No Champions League next season would be a huge blow for Atletico Madrid Atletico Madrid Consider RFEF's proposal unfair

The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) may have submitted a proposal to UEFA that would see the LaLiga Santander's current top four teams in the Champions League next season, yet Atletico Madrid believe that such a scenario is unfair for the club.

In the event Barcelona, Real Madrid, Sevilla and Real Sociedad are given the four spots for the European competition, Atletico will be on the end of a huge financial and sporting blow.

Diego Simeone's side have become a mainstay in the Champions League in recent years, having participated in the tournament for seven seasons in a row.

Meanwhile, a great part of their budget - which has reached around 500 million euros - depends on their progress in the competition.

Although they have knocked out Liverpool to qualify for the quarter-finals of the current competition, Atletico prioritise securing a place in the top four of LaLiga Santander this season.

With 11 games to go until the end of the campaign, Los Rojiblancos believe that LaLiga Santander cannot be cancelled given there are 33 points available.

Their current sixth position in LaLiga Santander table would secure qualification to the Europa League, which is not enough for Atletico.
