Crystal Palace locks in Europa League qualification, half of the Premier League teams can play European games, the key is the Magpie and the Blues
12:07pm, 18 May 2025【Football】
Crystal Palace won the FA Cup championship after defeating Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup final and successfully secured the Europa League qualification for next season. You should know that Crystal Palace is currently ranked 12th in the Premier League, and it is hopeless to obtain European qualifications through the league rankings. Now it is a curved way to save the country. Manchester City suffered two finals and two defeats in the FA Cup, and lost to Manchester United last season.
Crystal Palace has obtained the Europa League qualification, which is influential in the distribution of the qualifications of the Premier League in the European Cup. Premier League champion Liverpool has secured the Champions League, FA Cup champion Crystal Palace has secured the UEFA Cup, and League Cup champion Newcastle has secured the UEFA Champions League. Of course, Newcastle may participate in the Champions League through the league rankings.
Next, Manchester United vs. Tottenham Hotspur's UEFA Cup final will determine another UEFA Champions League place, and Chelsea can also secure the UEFA Cup qualification through the Europa League final. Next season's Premier League may have 10 teams with European Cup missions. The core elements are Newcastle's league ranking, Chelsea's league ranking and whether the European Union's final can be won.
Champions League zone: Top five in the Premier League + UEFA Cup champion
Because the Premier League performed outstandingly in the European competition this season, the Premier League has locked in an additional UEFA Champions League place very early: the fifth place can also participate in the Champions League. Therefore, the four major battles in the Premier League have become the top five in the Premier League, and the UEFA Champions League is definitely qualified for the Champions League, and there will be 6 teams in the Premier League next season.
This shows a very strange phenomenon. When the Swiss round of Premier League is grouped next season, 6 of the 32 teams are from the Premier League, and teams from the same league avoid it. It is very likely that some teams will face 3 or 4 Premier League teams, which is to play the Champions League group stage as the FA Cup.
At present, only Liverpool, Manchester United or Tottenham have locked in the Champions League qualification, and the other four Champions League qualifications (the rankings of second to fifth in the Premier League have not yet been determined) have not yet been decided. Who can get the Champions League qualification, in fact, it has an impact on the next UEFA Cup qualification and the Europa League qualification.
Europa League: Normally, it is the FA Cup champion + the sixth in the Premier League + the European Association Cup champion
The only thing that is certain is that FA Cup champion Crystal Palace has locked in the Europa League qualification. Next, it depends on the Premier League ranking and whether Chelsea can win the European Association Championship. There are several situations:
3 teams participate in one of the UEFA Cups: If Chelsea ranks sixth, wins the UEFA Champions League championship, and Newcastle enters the top five in the Premier League to qualify for the Champions League, then Chelsea + Crystal Palace + Seventh in the Premier League participate in the UEFA Cup, and there will be no Premier League teams in the UEFA Champions League.
3 teams participate in the UEFA Cup second: If Chelsea ranks sixth, wins the UEFA Champions League, and Newcastle wins the seventh in the Premier League, then Chelsea + Crystal Palace + Newcastle participates in the UEFA Cup, and the UEFA Champions League quota is ranked 8th in the Premier League.
3 teams participated in the Europa League third: If Chelsea ranks seventh in the Premier League, they will win the European Union championship again. Then, the teams participating in the UEFA Cup will be: Chelsea (European Union Champion), Crystal Palace (FA Cup Champion), and sixth place in the Premier League.
2 teams participate in the UEFA Cup: If Chelsea enters the top five in the Premier League (Champions League qualification), then the sixth place in the Premier League + Crystal Palace (FA Cup champion) participates in the UEFA Cup.
European Conference: Normally, it is the League Cup champion
The only thing that is certain is that Newcastle defeated Liverpool and won the League Cup championship, so Newcastle has locked in the Europa League qualification for next season. The problem is that Newcastle is still competing for the Champions League qualification, so this will determine the final Euro Cup qualification based on the league ranking Newcastle finally won.
If Newcastle enters the top six of the Premier League and obtains the Champions League qualification (top five) and the UEFA Cup qualification (sixth place), then Newcastle's Europa League qualification will be postponed, which will be the seventh place in the league to participate in the European Championship, and there may even be a possibility that no team in the Premier League will participate in the Europa League.
The possibility of Premier League teams competing for European qualifications:
Liverpool: It is already the league champion and has secured the qualification for the Champions League next season.
Arsenal: temporarily ranked second in the league and needs to lock in the top five to ensure qualifying for the Champions League.
Newcastle: It is temporarily ranked third in the Premier League and League Cup, and has already secured its qualification for the European Cup. If Newcastle wins the top six in the Premier League, it will release the European Cup qualification to other teams.
Chelsea: temporarily ranked fourth in the Premier League and can still compete for the UEFA Champions League (Europa League qualification). In other words, Chelsea will participate in the UEFA Cup at least next season. If Chelsea ranks in the top five in the league, it will release the Europa League qualification.
Aston Villa: Currently ranked fifth in the Premier League, they have no choice but to qualify for European competition through league rankings.
Manchester City: Currently ranked sixth in the Premier League, Manchester City has no choice but to qualify for European competition through league rankings.
Nottingham Forest: Currently ranked seventh in the league, he may even participate in the UEFA Cup, it depends on the rankings of Chelsea and Newcastle.
Brentford/Brighton: With the same points, they may participate in the UEFA Cup and even the European Union. It depends on the league rankings of Chelsea and Newcastle.
Crystal Palace: Locking in Europa League qualification.
Manchester United/Tottenham: Only one team can participate in the Champions League.
