Correct.

Blackburn Rovers (1995-96) and Emirates Marketing Project (2011-12).

The seven clubs who progressed were Manchester United (twice Champions), Chelsea (Champions), Liverpool (Champions), Arsenal (Finalists), Leeds United (Semi-Finalists), Tottenham Hotspur (Quarter-Finalists), and Saudi Sportswashing Machine (Group Stage Two).

Everton never participated in the Champions League Group Stage - they were knocked-out in the qualifying rounds.

European Cup & Champions League Last 8 1955-56 to 2011-12
 
So Saudi Sportswashing Machine is also correct if they didn't make it past the second group stage? #pedant #getalifesupertedyatosser
 
But the question didn't specify the first group stage, and the second group stage is still the group stage before the knockout stage #itspurplenumbnuts

Eight:

Italy (Gianluca Vialli, Claudio Ranieri, Carlo Ancelotti, Roberto di Matteo)
Portugal (Jose Mourinho, André Villas-Boas)
Israel (Avram Grant)
Brazil (Luis Felipe Scolari)
Spain (Rafael Benitez)

Prior to the Premier League, Chelsea had a manager from Northern Ireland (Danny Blanchflower) while all their other managers were English or Scottish.

When I say nine, its not because I can't count but because I'm including Catalan. :-"

Wonder if the Catalans have thought through what would happen if they got independence? Barca couldn't play in the Spanish league anymore and there would be no more classicos. What kind of draw would a Catalan league be to players?
 
They'd probably be allowed to play in the Spanish League. Would it be a similar arrangement as Monaco in the French league?

Or they would just stir the brick pot more and more until they get a European 'Super' League of the G14 or whatever. More money for the fat boys.

The Spanish League without Barcelona would be just as impoverished, so they would have to come to some arrangement. Although if they did it might open the door for other leagues to embrace more than one country.

No doubt this will be being looked at regardless of what happens to Catalonia.
