As of Dec 26 2010 these are your 15 teams that have qualified for next years Champions League.
A total of 76 or 77 teams will participate in the 2011–12 Champions League, from 52 UEFA associations (Liechtenstein organizes no domestic league competition). Countries are allocated places according to their 2010 UEFA league coefficient, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 2005–06 to 2009–10.
This coefficient is determined by the results of the clubs of the leagues in UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League games over the past five seasons. Two points are awarded for each win by a club, and one for a draw. Goals scored in extra time do count in determining the outcome of a game, but any Penalty shootout result does not affect the allocation of points other than the bonus points. The number of points awarded each season is divided by the number of teams that participated for that nation in that season. This number is then rounded down to three decimal places
For the league coefficient the season's league coefficients for the last five seasons must be added up. In the preliminary rounds of both the Champions League and Europa League, the awarded points are halved. Bonus points are allocated for:
Qualifying for the Champions League group phase (4 bonus points).
Reaching the second round of the Champions League (5 bonus points).
Reaching the quarter, semi and final of either the Champions League or the Europa League (1 bonus point).
The bonus points are added to the number of points scored in a season.
