MU wins Europa League, puts Arsenal in a difficult position

Arsenal are at risk of being pushed down to the second seed group if MU wins the Europa League.

Arsenal were knocked out of the Champions League by PSG after losing 1-3 on aggregate over two matches. The Gunners will end the season without any trophies. They will have to try to qualify for next season's Champions League through the Premier League.

The top five teams in the Premier League will qualify for the Champions League, meaning Arsenal are pretty safe. Arsenal are second, six points ahead of sixth place. Qualifying for the ticket is not a big problem for the Gunners. However, the Europa League final will have some impact on coach Mikel Arteta and his team.

What happens to Arsenal after the Europa League final? If Man City finish third, and Chelsea and Tottenham also secure Champions League places, Arsenal will have a chance to secure a place in Pot 1 for the 2025/26 Champions League qualifying round thanks to their UEFA coefficient points.

If MU wins the Europa League, they will enter Pot 1, while Arsenal will be pushed down to Pot 2. With 6 out of 9 teams in Pot 1 already determined, along with the cases of Man City and Chelsea, then one of the two teams MU (if they win the championship) or Arsenal will take the last spot in Pot 1.

Only if Spurs beat MU, Arsenal will take the place in Pot 1. In theory, the teams in Pot 1 will have easier matches in the classification stage under the new format with 36 teams in the Champions League.

Tottenham and Manchester United face off in the Basque Country in a game where both clubs are hoping to salvage a dismal Premier League season. The idea of ​​either club qualifying for next season's Champions League is unlikely, but the idea of ​​Arsenal fans having to support their rivals Tottenham is certainly not to their liking.
