"The official said that a precedent had been set in 2000, when Real
Madrid won the Champions League, but finished fifth in the La Liga."
Berarti Liverpool bukan yang pertama donk. Btw itu ada celah di peraturan
UEFA, makanya bisa minta. Sekarang ga ada celah lagi kan? Defending champs
tetep bisa ikutan?:)

Benitez said: "I am hoping that they (UEFA) will use their common
sense. It would be unbelievable if you are in the World Club
Championship and the European Super Cup and not in the Champions
League.
"If you win the Champions League it is because you are the best. We
must be allowed to defend our trophy."
Liverpool captain Steve Gerrard added: "I hope the people above let
us defend it. It's called the Champions League and the champions
should be in it
Britain's government got involved in the row, with Sports Minister
Richard Caborn contacting European football's governing body to
argue it would be "a travesty" if Liverpool were excluded.
However, UEFA 's Director of Communications, William Gaillard said
the European body had responded to a pre-final request from the
English FA seeking permission for Liverpool to defend the title
should they triumph.
"We wrote back to them and informed them of the rules, which state
that only four clubs from England are permitted to enter the
Champions League. They told us that the fourth team to qualify from
England was Everton."
The official said that a precedent had been set in 2000, when Real
Madrid won the Champions League, but finished fifth in the La Liga.
The Spanish FA then replaced the fourth-placed team, Real Zaragoza
by Real Madrid and instead entered Zaragoza for the UEFA Cup.
"This option was left open to the English Football Association," he
stressed
