This season will be a very interesting one.
With romanian football getting better every year, the battle for the 1st place will be tough. The champions will be qualified in the CL group stage and the runner-up will play in the CL 3rd qualifying round. Teams ranked 3rd and 4th + the winner of the Romanian Cup will play in the UEFA Cup.
2004-2005 was the first step of this beautiful journey we're on now.
Steaua qualified in the UEFA group stage, got through to the 1/8s where they lost against Villareal (after passing Valencia in the 1/16s).
2005-2006 season was an even better one: CFR Cluj reached the UEFA Intertoto Cup final at its first ever european participation, but lost to Lens. Steaua, Rapid and Dinamo qualified in the UEFA group stage. Dinamo stopped there, but Steaua and Rapid went on and played a memorable 1/4, after which Steaua advanced to the 1/2, where it was denied by Middlesbrough.
2006-2007 season started very well for the romanian teams. Steaua qualified in the Champions League group stage and both Dinamo and Rapid are in the UEFA group stage. Let's hope for a long european season for our teams.
The battle in the romanian top flight is tighter than ever. Steaua, Dinamo, Rapid, CFR Cluj, Poli Timisoara and Farul Constanta are all involved in this battle. The team that wins is granted a place in the CL groups next year.
For the moment, we just have to wait and see what will happen...
