It was announced at the end of the League Phase, I think. I presume Slot wasn't very happy about it, given the effort LFC put in to get the top spot. 'Big Draw' won out.

I also couldn't understand why they didn't ‘lock’ bracket - 1st gets lowest entrant from play-off. Instead, Villa (8th) get Brugge (24th), Lille (7th) get Dortmund (10th). That'd make some difference between finishing in certain places in the league phase, beyond having to play the play-off round.

Hi @totallyshow.bsky.social. The four best-ranked UEFA Nations League group winners that finish outside the top two of their World Cup qualifying group will advance to the UEFA play-offs. As things stand, that currently includes Moldova and San Marino, but not Italy, Scotland or Belgium. Go minnows!

Can you unpack how Palhinha ends up at Spurs? It felt quite an understated move. That was a protracted transfer from Fulham, but a case of too much class at Bayern? If so, both Spurs loan money and player interest seem off to a flier.
