Austrian football in shock: bankruptcies put top 12 place in danger!
Austrian football is on the brink! In a disastrous week for the domestic teams, the Champions League performances of SK Sturm Graz and FC Salzburg, as well as the Conference League performances of SK Rapid and LASK, not only failed but also caused a devastating setback in the UEFA rankings. This bitter pill saw Austria fall out of the top 12 in the UEFA five-year rankings, having previously struggled to 12th place laola1.at reported.
The defeats were not only painful, but also epochal: LASK was punished with a shocking 0:7 against AC Fiorentina, setting a new negative record in the club's history. Rapid lost to Omonia Nicosia 1:3, and Sturm Graz lost by a narrow margin 2:3 to OSC Lille - a result that offers little consolation. These defeats also accelerated the Greek clubs' rise in the rankings, as Olympiakos Piraeus, PAOK and Panathinaikos diligently collected points, such as kicker.de communicates.
