 <\/p>\n

The Premier League is set to be one of two leagues in Europe rewarded with an extra place in the 2025\/26 UEFA Champions League after Arsenal beat Real Madrid 3-0 in the first leg of their quarter-final.
\nThanks to the performances of Premier League clubs in all of UEFA\u2019s competitions this season, England is now guaranteed a top-two spot in UEFA’s association club coefficient rankings, which earns a “European Performance Spot” (EPS). This means that as well as the top four-placed teams in the Premier League, the club finishing fifth in 2024\/25 will also go straight into the Champions League next season.
\nOn top of that, the winners of this season’s Champions League and the winners of the UEFA Europa League will each be given a place in the 2025\/26 Champions League, if they have not already qualified for the competition through their league positions.
\nIt means the Premier League could potentially have as many as SEVEN clubs in next season’s Champions League – the top five teams in the league, plus the Champions League winners and the Europa League winners if they finish outside the top five.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
