In the Premier League, only Liverpool is certain to qualify for the Champions League next season. The race for the top 5 is still hot with the chances divided equally between the teams ranked from 2nd to 7th (Arsenal, Man City, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Nottingham).
Despite the difficulties Nottingham faces, fans still hope that the team at City Ground can squeeze through the narrow door to participate in Europe's most prestigious cup tournament for the first time since the 1980/81 season. Along with Liverpool, Nottingham is a rare English club that can defend the title in the continental playground.

In La Liga, the three "big guys" Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are all guaranteed to qualify for the Champions League. With the status of the greatest club in the Champions League, Real has maintained its consecutive record of participating in the group stage/League Phase since the 1997/98 season until now. The last time Real did not participate in the Champions League group stage was 29 years ago, when they finished 6th in La Liga 1995/96.
In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich and Leverkusen are the two German representatives participating in the 2025/26 Champions League. Leverkusen is about to have a turbulent summer when saying goodbye to head coach Xabi Alonso and a series of key players.
Early this morning (May 13), Atalanta defeated AS Roma, thereby becoming the latest representative to secure a ticket to the Champions League next season. Along with coach Gasperini and his team, Inter and Napoli also secured a place in the top 4 of Serie A, regardless of the results in the last 2 rounds.
The race for tickets to the League Phase and Champions League in Ligue 1 also ended with 3 tickets belonging to PSG, Marseille and Monaco respectively. The qualifying round tickets for the 4th place team are still Nice, Strasbourg, Lille and Lyon.
In addition, fans have also identified a few familiar names in the continental arena such as Ajax, PSV (Netherlands), Olympiacos (Greece) and Slavia Prague (Czech Republic). This will be the first time in 4 years that Olympiacos will return to the Champions League.
