Press reports revealed that the Premier League may witness record participation in the European championships next season, as the number of English teams qualified to continental competitions can reach 11 teams.
According to the Spanish newspaper “AS”, England and Spain will get an additional seat in the Champions League, which means that five teams from the Premier League qualify for the championship instead of four.
The number of English clubs participating in Europe depends on the results of the local teams in the continental championships this season, where the sixth or seventh team can qualify for the Champions League in the event of Manchester United or Tottenham winning the European League title, or the coronation of Aston Villa in the Champions League title despite its lack of presence in the first four in the Premier League.
The qualification of Newcastle for the Champions League and its occupation of fifth place will give the seventh team an opportunity to participate in the European Conference League.
According to potential scenarios, teams such as Brighton, Bournemouth, Chelsea, and Aston Villa may find themselves in continental championships through their league positions or crowning local and international titles, which may give England a historic presence in European competitions for the next season.
