The Final 16 refers to the Knockout Stage participants in the current format and the Second Group Stage participants in the previous format. For each Champions League I used the Country Rankings going into that Champions League (which is not the same as the Country Rankings that determine spots in that Champions League, the latter is a season farther behind): 2011-2012: Cyprus (20th) 2010-2011: Denmark (15th) 2009-2010: Greece (12th) 2008-2009: Greece (14th) 2007-2008: Greece (15th) 2006-2007: Scotland (11th) 2005-2006: Scotland (10th) 2004-2005: Netherlands (8th) 2003-2004: Russia (18th) 2002-2003: Switzerland (16th) 2001-2002: Czech Republic (11th)
