UEFA media release confirming that Liverpool, as holders, would be allowed to compete in the 2005/06 Champions League. Liverpool has finished 5th in the Premier League the previous season and so had failed to qualify for the Champions League. Unlike the European Cup, UEFA had not provided for the holders to automatically defend their title. The regulations were amended and Liverpool entered the competition at the first qualifying round stage.

UEFA had rejected an offer from TNS to play a one-off match with Liverpool; the winners to be allocated their slot in the Champions League. The two clubs were subsequently drawn to play each other in the first qualifying round.
