Bye bye Arsenal.

Bye bye Man City.

Glad Man C won’t retain it, open for any of the four to win now.

Psg v Real final with Enrique dropping Mbappe out of spite

Being seeing stuff online saying that this affects 6th place for Europa. That with City and Arsenal both knocked out of Europe and Liverpool and West Ham most likely out of Europe tomorrow, City need to win the FA Cup or 6th place becomes Europa Conference?

What's saying that? I may be wrong, but I don't think that's the case?

"As per UEFA rules, the Premier League is guaranteed four Champions League places, two Europa League places, and one Europa Conference League place."

One europa place is for the fa cup, and the other for sixth is it not? Oh s*** it should be fifth and sixth. Then I suppose City winning the cup would put the place to the league. Not sure how english teams not being in the CL effect that, mind.

I would say oh bugger, but to be honest I wouldn't mind being in the conference. I don't think the financial benefit from europa instead would be enough to make a dent in PSR needs, and the conference will in theory be a lot more winnable. And will give our squad much needed experience.

As long as we get one of them I'm happy. Would be nice to work our way up, winning them all though

Yep 1-4 CL
5-EL
6-EL (depending on who wins FA Cup if a team lower than 6 this becomes eclipse
7-ecl depending on above

This explains it better than I can...

No country should get 5 CL spots, it’s a piss take. You don’t have to be particularly amazing to finish 5th, Christ we’re only 10 points off it and have been decimated half the season! CL should be a reward for exceptional performance, not for being “alright” most of the season. But I’m old school and would only let 2 teams from each country in.

At least we can cling onto the whole group of death thing - we've got half the semi-finalists...

I was in Barcelona on Tuesday night and was happy that PSG won because the bars cleared out very quickly.

Could be that only 4th will be good enough for a CL spot this season but I'd welcome a strong europa league campaign from us next year.

Looks that way, another country can reward the mediocrity of 5th with an extra CL spot

We weren’t getting 5th, let alone 4th anyway.
