Points = the club's contribution to the COUNTRY coefficient (win 2, draw 1, halved in qualifying, plus bonuses) — not the club coefficient used for seeding, which has different numbers. Country coefficient = total ÷ number of clubs.
Older seasons were played under different rules (competition format and bonuses changed), so points across eras are not directly comparable.
