JAKARTA - The Premier League will send five representatives to appear in the 2024/2025 Champions League. This number was obtained after securing an additional place on the European Performance Spot (EPS) route based on the club's collective performance.
UEFA has indeed designated EPS as a new system applied to the Champions League format containing 36 teams. This format is shown for two countries that have performed well overall in three European competitions.
Reporting from the official Premier League website, the top level competition got an additional slot after his deputy Arsenal won 3-0 from Real Madrid in the first leg of the 2024/2025 Champions League quarter-finals, Wednesday, April 9, 2025.
The Gunners' victory complements the dominance of Premier League clubs in the Champion League standings, especially after the performance of Serie A clubs slumped in the group round and the last 16.

With this situation, the team that occupies the top five of the Premier League will automatically get a ticket to the Champions League next season.
Currently, the competition for the top five of the Premier League is tight. Newcastle is currently on the bottom safe line with a collection of 59 points.
That number is still not safe because only two points difference from Chelsea and Aston Villa are in sixth and seventh place.
Likewise for Nottingham Forest and Manchester City, who are now in fourth and third place, their position can still falter and be overtaken because they are only three and four points apart from the safe line of the Champions League zone.
On the other hand, the two teams that are confirmed to seal the title to next season's Champions League are Liverpool and Arsenal. The Reds currently pack 79 points and Arsenal have 66 points.
The competition in the Premier League title race between the two teams will be even hotter with five games remaining.
However, Liverpool only need one win from those five matches to seal the Premier League champions this season.
