West Ham and Leicester City's exit from Europe means the Premier League have missed out on the chance to have nine teams qualify for UEFA's three competitions.
The Hammers failed to reach the Europa League final after Eintracht Frankfurt sealed a 1-0 win (3-1 on aggregate) on Thursday night, while Roma came out on top against Brendan Rodger's side with a 1-0 victory (2-1 on aggregate) in the Europa Conference League semi-final. If both teams made it all the way in their respective tournaments, England could have potentially had nine teams in Europe.
There was a golden opportunity for David Moyes' side to qualify for the Champions League which would have resulted in five English teams in UEFA's flagship event. The Foxes would also have gained access to the Europa League by lifting the Conference League.
But their exit means qualification will now be solely based on domestic grounds with seven spots available. The top four will qualify for the Champions League which is currently occupied by Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal with Tottenham still in the hunt.
There are two places in the Europa League up for grabs, fifth and sixth position, with fifth going straight to the group stage. Sixth is likely to join them if Chelsea finishes at least fourth since that place is reserved for FA Cup winners.
The team finishing seventh in the Premier League will qualify for the Conference League. Spurs and Manchester United occupy fifth and sixth currently with West Ham six points adrift Ralf Rangnick's men in seventh. Wolves are three points behind the Hammers as they look to make a late surge to qualify for Europe.
David Moyes was gutted after West Ham's Europa League journey came to an end, but was proud of his team for getting to the final four. He said: "We are disappointed. Things did not go our way on the night, those small things didn’t quite happen. I am really proud of the players, the way that they played with ten men was absolutely fantastic and they stayed in it. Other teams would have folded and lost two or three-nil, but the boys here are great, they are tough boys."
Who will the Europa League final? Rangers or Eintracht Frankfurt. Let us know in the comment section below
"I don’t feel any of that at the moment, I just feel disappointed because I thought this was a real chance. I think we have probably played better teams than Frankfurt, but tonight and probably if we are being honest, we lost the game in the first 30 seconds of the game at the London Stadium, really from that moment we have been chasing the game ever since."
Brendan Rodgers echoed those sentiments after Tammy Abraham's strike sent Roma to the Conference League final at Leicester's expense. He said: "There weren't too many big chances in the game for either side. I felt we needed to impose our game more. We had a lot of the play second half but couldn't quite make the breakthrough.
"Our Achilles heel all season has been set-pieces and it has undone us again. We have given away too many cheap goals and it has cost us. Set pieces are about determination and physicality and clearly we lack physicality in those moments. But it has been a great journey for us these last couple of seasons in Europe."
