It has been the finest campaign for Southampton this season as the ‘Saints’ are sitting right in the top four of the most prestigious football league in the world. Nobody expected them to perform like this after finishing 8th last season but the underdogs have performed really well and the most important thing is that they have been consistent and have been able to compete with the top level clubs and beat a few of them too.
Well, there is no limitations to dream and so the Dutch manager of the club and ex-Barcelona player Ronald Koeman believes that his team has the potential to qualify for the champions league next year. But the manager has ruled out any possibilities of saying that the things can be taken for granted, he even have warned the players not to get over-confident and lose concentration over the growing possibilities of remarkable achievement.

"I know the players around myself and the club are talking about the position in the table and about the possibility of being one of the top four teams," he told reporters. "But it's too early to think about that."We must keep focusing on doing what we have done so far. Maybe then - with four or five games of the season remaining - the situation will be much clearer.
"I think the Champions League is a good possibility but others have real quality in their team, and we don't have that experience," he added.
"They know how to play under high pressure but I believe we don't have any pressure and we are surprising people with our position in the table. Most people didn't expect Southampton to be in fourth place at the end of February."
With 13 matches still remaining in the premier league Southampton has good chance to qualify for Champions league next season and reach the wonderland.
