JAKARTA - La Liga will join the Premier League which has five teams in the Champions League next season after securing a second additional place for club performance in three European tournaments.
The two leagues were awarded the European Performance Spot (EPS), which was introduced last season as part of a reshuffle to expand the Champions League into a tournament with 36 teams.
Britain has been in pole position throughout the season and has confirmed it will have additional venues on April 8, 2025.
Spain were then guaranteed to finish in the top two on Friday, April 18, 2025, after Lazio were eliminated from the Europa League, while Athletic Club eliminated Rangers.

The fifth position in the standings in England and Spain will now qualify for the Champions League.
In the Premier League, there is a very tight battle for the top five. Newcastle United (59 points) is in third place, with Nottingham Forest (57) in fourth place and Manchester City (55) in fifth. Chelsea (54) and Aston Villa (54) are under the teams.
In La Liga, the top four are clear so there is a tight competition for the fifth position between Villarreal (51 points, with one game not yet played) and Real Betis (48). There is a difference of five more points with Celta Vigo and Mallorca who are in seventh and eighth place.
Meanwhile, as Arsenal appear to be finishing in the top four, the maximum number of places in the Champions League for the Premier League could be six: top four, EPS, plus Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur as winners of the Europa League.
The Premier League could have 10 teams in European tournaments if Manchester United or Spurs win the Europa League and Chelsea win the UEFA Conference League, provided they finish outside qualifying. Title holders automatically qualify as an additional place if they don't do it in the league standings.
If Arsenal win the Champions League and finish in the top four, no transfer to the Premier League, only the top five will qualify.
Last season, Italy and Germany were the beneficiaries, with Bologna and Borussia Dortmund finishing fifth in their respective league tables.
