"It's an exceptional situation, that follows an exceptional match and which we believe requires an exceptional solution," said FA chief executive Brian Barwick.
"What UEFA have, and I sympathise with them to a degree, is a situation where they are faced with not having their own champions in their own competition which is called the Champions League. I think in its own way that tells its own story.
"Liverpool finished outside the top four. I think the FA were right and proper to put the top four in to the Champions League. That's how teams kicked off in August, expecting a top-four finish to give them qualification or pre-qualification and that will not be changed."
Welsh champions TNS have already offered to play Liverpool for their qualification place, although this idea will almost certainly be rejected.
