How does Tottenham’s Europa League Win Changes the Champions League Race? (19080 Views)

Tottenham have just won the Europa League. They didn’t finish top five in the league, but somehow… they’re going to the Champions League next season.

If you’re thinking, “Wait, does that mean someone gets pushed out?” You’re not alone.
Five Teams. Three Spots. Chaos Loading…

Liverpool and Arsenal? Already in. Tottenham? They're in too—thanks to their Europa League win. That leaves few spots and five teams clawing for them: Manchester City, Newcastle, Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest.

You might assume Tottenham’s win means someone else gets bumped out of Europe’s biggest stage. But that’s not quite how it works.
The Confusing Truth Behind the Rule

UEFA didn’t exactly introduce a new rule—they just expanded the Champions League.
England now gets five league-based slots instead of four, because of how well its clubs performed in Europe this season. Add Tottenham’s win to that? Now it’s six English teams in the Champions League.
No one is getting kicked out. But don’t breathe easy just yet.

The Table Is Tight. The Stakes Are Brutal

The Premier League table heading into the final day is a pressure cooker. Chelsea, Newcastle, and Aston Villa are locked on equal points, while Nottingham Forest trail just one point behind. Even Manchester City, despite their pedigree, aren’t entirely safe. Arsenal and Liverpool, meanwhile, have already secured their Champions League spots.

The matchups only amplify the tension. Chelsea face Nottingham Forest in what is effectively a direct playoff for Europe. Aston Villa must visit a resurgent Manchester United at Old Trafford, while Newcastle will fancy their chances against already-relegated Everton. Manchester City, looking to seal their place, face a tricky away trip to Fulham. Arsenal, comfortably in second, round off their campaign at home to Southampton.

Anything can happen. And it probably will. Catch it it all on Supersport

So What Does Tottenham’s Win Really Mean?

It means the top five are going to the Champions League, no matter what. It means Tottenham get a seat at the table, without knocking anyone off. And it means clubs like Chelsea, Villa, and Newcastle still have everything to fight for.

Final Day Is War. And Only Three Will Rise

If you’re still confused, that’s fair, so are most fans. Just that the top five is the prize. Tottenham already have theirs. For the rest, it’s all or nothing. Final day is war. And only three will rise. Who do you think will pull through?

How can Everton in 13th position face relegation

Meanwhile, the secret behind Everton not going to relegation every season even though they always perform poorly at the early stage of the league should be studied

That's the situation aptly captured!
Certainly, there'll be shocks and thrills!
Yet, that's the beauty of the round leather game!

Chelsea has the hardest fixture but a draw and Man Utd beating Aston Villa can help them. But can Man Utd beat Villa out of Anger?

As long as Ogbeni Maresca isn't experimenting, Chelsea will beat or draw Forest, United will win or draw Villa and the rest is history!

Man city will qualify , maybe Newcastle and Aston Villa will the champion league contingent.
Semaj77(m): 6:07pm On May 24
Assuming Tottenham lost their last few games in the Premiership and got relegated to the Championship but still won Europa , would they be allowed to participate at the Champions league given that they have been relegated to the second division ?. I was just thinking about this yesterday as they were actually very close to being relegated
