And the Premier League brought the curtain down on its 2024/25 season. After a season in which Liverpool was crowned champion again five years after their last title, and relegation was decided for Leicester, Ipswich Town, and Southampton, the European slots were to be determined this Sunday.

A Sunday that concluded with the definition of the Champions League spots for the next season. Manchester City, Chelsea, and Newcastle will be in the top European club competition next season. Goals from Gündogan and Erling Haaland were enough for Pep's team to remain in the European elite for another year.

The Blues will also return to the Champions League. Chelsea overcame Nottingham Forest in their match thanks to a goal from Levi Colwill, enough for Stamford Bridge to once again host the top European club competition next year. Blue joy contrasts with the sadness of Nottingham Forest, who are left with the 'consolation' of the Conference League.

It wasn't a sweet Sunday feeling for Newcastle either. However, the sadness didn't last long at St. James Park, because despite the defeat against Everton, Eddie Howe's team will return to the Champions League next season.

Emery's Aston Villa to the Europa League

The Villains wanted to end the season in the best possible way, but in a match where Dibu Martínez saw the red card, Aston Villa couldn't overcome Manchester United. Their 2:0 defeat sends them to the Europa League.

This is how the European slots are distributed
