Man City, Chelsea and Newcastle United are the names that completed the goal of being in the top 5 on the final day.
Man City and Chelsea decide their own fate with victories against tough opponents.
At Craven Cottage, coach Pep Guardiola's team beat Fulham 2-0 thanks to goals from İlkay Gündoğan and Erling Haaland.
This result helped the former champion end the season in third place overall, gaining 71 points after 38 rounds.
Meanwhile, in the "life and death" match at City Ground, Levi Colwill became the hero with the only goal to help Chelsea overcome their competitor Nottingham Forest.
This minimal victory is more than enough for coach Enzo Maresca's "The Blues" to rise to finish fourth in the 2024-2025 Premier League with 68 points.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United were lucky to be the last name to make the top 5 after a disappointing match at St James' Park.
The Magpies had the home field advantage but lost 0-1 to Everton, a team that had no more goals before entering the final round.
However, luck still smiled on coach Eddie Howe and his team because in the same match, Aston Villa lost 0-2 in their away match at MU's field.
With this result, Newcastle United has the same 66 points as Aston Villa but is ranked above its opponent to stand in 5th place thanks to a better goal difference.
Thanks to the excellent performance of clubs in European Cup this season, the Premier League is sure to be in the top 2 of the UEFA coefficient rankings for national championships, thereby receiving an additional place.
As a result, the top five teams in the 2024-25 Premier League season will be in the Champions League next season, instead of just four as usual.

| English football has 6 representatives in the Champions League next season. |
This means that the top 5 Premier League teams Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea and Newcastle will participate in the Champions League next season.
Liverpool were the champions of the tournament. At the end of the season, “The Kop” won a total of 84 points, 10 points more than the runner-up Arsenal.
With this season's championship, Liverpool increased the number of Premier League titles to 20, equaling MU's record.
Arsenal finished runners-up in the Premier League for the third consecutive season, a result that disappointed many Gunners fans. Arsenal need to make necessary additions this summer to hope to change when entering the 2025-2026 season.
In addition to the 5 names mentioned above, English football next season will have a 6th representative participating in the Champions League, Tottenham.
Tottenham won this spot after defeating MU 1-0 in the "English civil war" in the Europa League final.
This is the third time “Spurs” have won the championship in this tournament, after being crowned UEFA Cup (former name of Europa League) in the 1971-1972 and 1983-1984 seasons.
This makes England the first European country to have more than five clubs in the Champions League at the same time in the tournament's history.
Previously, English football had 5 representatives in the Champions League in the 2017-2018 season, including MU, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City and Tottenham. This result came from the "Red Devils" winning the Europa League the previous season.
Along with the six teams in the Champions League, three other English teams will be in Europe next season: Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest.
Aston Villa finished 6th overall and had to regretfully play in the second division. Meanwhile, with a spectacular FA Cup win at Wembley, Crystal Palace won their first title and also participated in the continental arena (Europa League) for the first time.
As for Nottingham Forest, 7th place earned them a ticket to the Conference League. This is the first time since 1996 that "The Tricky Trees" have participated in a European cup tournament.
