The Premier League is expected to have 6 teams participating in the Champions League next season.

In the Europa League, Manchester United and Tottenham will meet in the final on May 22. This is an opportunity for both teams to seek this season's title and also win a ticket to participate in the Champions League next year.

The fact that both Manchester United and Tottenham are in the European Cup final also has great significance for the Premier League. The league's homepage confirmed that the Premier League will have an additional place in the Champions League next season, reserved for the winner of this year's Europa League final. The remaining 5 places will be reserved for the top 5 teams in the league at the end of the season (currently Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Newcastle and Chelsea).

The last time the Premier League had five representatives in the Champions League was in the 2017/18 season, including MU, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City and Tottenham. This result stemmed from MU winning the Europa League the previous season.

The team in 6th place (currently Nottingham Forest) will qualify for the Europa League. The result of the FA Cup final between Man City and Crystal Palace is also important, as the winner will qualify for the Europa League.

If Crystal Palace win, they will take that spot. If Man City win, that spot will go to the team in 7th place (currently Aston Villa).

Newcastle have qualified for the Conference League by winning the Carabao Cup this season. But if both Newcastle and Man City finish in the top seven (which is likely), the team in eighth place (currently Bournemouth) will be in the Conference League next season.

The Premier League did not have a representative in this year's Champions League final, as Arsenal were eliminated by PSG in the semi-finals. But in the Europa League, MU faced Tottenham. And in the Conference League, Chelsea also reached the final match to face Real Betis.

Bruno Fernandes shined on the day MU won big against Leicester. In the early morning of March 17, Bruno scored 1 goal and 2 assists to help MU defeat host Leicester 3-0 in round 29 of the Premier League.
