Is there any scenario where the FA Cup runner up gets a EL spot?

E.g. Liverpool have already qualified for the EL by winning the League Cup, but will get CL anyway. So if they won the FA cup too then does the runner up get Europa?

I think the runner up thing ended years ago, just goes back to the league now.

Also Liverpool have only qualified for the Conference League by winning the Carabao, though it's pretty much guaranteed that will go to league placement.

Oh right.

I'd actually rather play City in the cup than Liverpool. They're very much a 'cup team' and always have the beating of us. We give Man C a game more often than we do Liverpool.

Coventry 3-0 up after 35 minutes, the fairytale could be over for Maidstone.

It’s defeatist but we were never winning it this year anyway.
