Is it like how the winner of the second division in the "Center" zone of the Russian football championship goes directly to the Champions League group stage without qualification? -_-
For me, such a selection process immediately discredits the idea of the tournament.
In any Champions League, there are always teams like Viktoria Plzeň.

And sometimes even a team like Spartak Moscow.

And, by the way, a different scenario is also quite possible.

In any case, this is the idea of the tournament, and no one is discrediting anything.
At least, not in any obvious way. One strong team doesn't make or break it. the_ is not up for discussion.
All other "questionable" participants will be selected based on their ranking or through qualification.
