A few hours before the clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes in the Champions League, the Reds received a nice gift from Arsenal.
There will be five Premier League clubs in the Champions League next season. Like this season, the English championship will be entitled to an additional representative thanks to the performances of the clubs involved in Europe.
Arsenal, winner of ten of the eleven European matches it has played this season, greatly contributed to this and officially allowed this addition of a place thanks to its latest success, on the lawn of Sporting CP on Tuesday evening (1-0).
Liverpool receives good news from Arsenal
Good news for Liverpool in particular, five points behind Aston Villa (54pts) in the race for the Top 4 of the Premier League and who would currently benefit from this additional place.
But, like last season, another English club could also be added to the list of English clubs qualified in C1. If Aston Villa were to miss out on a top 7 in the Premier League but win the Europa League at the end of the season, then the Villans would also qualify in C1, in addition to the final Top 5 of the championship. On the other hand, Chelsea could miss out if the Blues saw the Villans retain their place in the Top 5, regardless of their result in the Europa League.
