Indeed the winner gets to play in the Champions League next season, but I can't see Liverpool winning it. Tottenham, Villarreal, Dynamo Moscow, Inter, Sevilla, Everton, Wolfsburg, Napoli, Fiorentina are there. Plus the Champions League teams - Zenit, Bilbao, Olympiakos, City/Roma, Schalke/Sporting. They won't even make the semis.
