Arsenal’s victory over Sporting CP on Tuesday has guaranteed that fifth place in the Premier League will qualify for next season’s Champions League, which comes as a major boost to the teams chasing down that position.
The expansion of Europe’s three club competitions in 2024 came with the promise of more qualifying spots dished out according to the performance of each nation.
