Major Champions League news confirmed

Wednesday 08 April 2026 08:46The Premier League will have at least five clubs in next season’s UEFA Champions League, after securing a ‘European Performance Spot’ for the second successive year. The additional place was solidified on Tuesday evening after Arsenal earned a 1-0 win over Sporting from their quarter-final first-leg tie in Portugal. This is positive news for Manchester United as Michael Carrick’s men continue to fight for Champions League qualification next term.  The Reds are currently placed third in the Premier League with seven fixtures left to play. Our objective is to move up the table and finish as high as we can.HOW IT ALL WORKS UEFA awards an additional Champions League place to the two leagues with the best overall performance across the three European competitions. The Premier League has topped the EPS table for most of this season, with all nine English clubs reaching the last 16 of the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.While only five clubs reached the quarter-finals, coefficient points won during the league phases had put England in a dominant position. As it stands, Spain are likely to take second additional place, ahead of Germany and Portugal – but that could yet change with upcoming results.Maguire pleased to nail down deal VideoMaguire pleased to nail down dealBIG INTERVIEW | Harry Maguire says he spoke with Michael Carrick before extending his stay…UEFA COEFFICIENT TABLE (7 APRIL)Top two win additional Champions League places 1: England = 25.013 2: Spain = 20.281 3: Germany = 19.714 4: Portugal = 18.900 5: Italy = 18.714Fernandes proud to match Ronaldo VideoFernandes proud to match RonaldoCatch up with our Portuguese magnifico as he proudly collects two Player of the Month awards for March…WAIT, THERE’S MORE The Premier League could yet have six or seven teams in next season’s Champions League.
