The Premier League is poised to secure at least five teams in the 2025-26 Champions League after Arsenal's impressive 3-0 victory over Real Madrid. This win ensures additional spots for English clubs in the prestigious tournament, marking a significant milestone.

Under UEFA's coefficient ranking system, England needed just one win in any of Europe's competitions to earn extra berths. These slots complement the four already provided to the league's top four teams, allowing English clubs to expand their presence on the European stage.

The English top flight could witness up to seven teams in the upcoming Champions League, with Aston Villa, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur in the race. Italy currently leads the chase for the second additional place, while Spain and Germany follow closely behind.
