❌ Arsenal and Manchester City have both been knocked out of the UEFA Champions League tonight in the quarter-final stage. It’s the Premier League or nothing for both clubs now. Six games to go… #afc

With Arsenal and Man City, the door for England to have 5 places in the group stage of the C1 Cup next season is still very narrow.

England’s ambition to have 5 teams win tickets to the group stage of next season’s C1 Cup has just been dealt two heavy blows. The reason is because they have no representatives in the Champions League after the quarter-finals. Man City lost to Real on penalties, and the “Gunners” lost narrowly to Bayern in Germany.

He was left behind by Germany and Italy in the race to win more tickets to the C1 Cup next season

With such results, England was left behind by Germany and Italy in the race to win another spot in the Champions League group stage next season. Starting from the 2024/25 season, the two countries with the best performance in Europe last season will receive this special spot. Currently, Italy is leading with a total score of 18,857 and there are still 4 clubs competing in the European Cup.

According to preliminary calculations, as long as Atalanta does not lose to Liverpool and Fiorentina wins against Viktoria Plzen in the early morning of April 19, Italy will definitely qualify. Meanwhile, Germany rose to second place with a total score of 17,642 and still has 3 teams in the European Cup. They even have a chance to create an all-German C1 Cup final when Bayern and Dortmund are in two different semi-finals.

England fell behind on this ranking with 16,785 points. The question being asked at this time is whether “Land of Mist” can turn the tide in the rest of the season? The answer is yes but it is very difficult.

With the current situation, Britain can only surpass Germany with two necessary and sufficient conditions. The necessary condition is that the remaining English teams in the European arena must win and win both the Europa League and the Europa Conference League. That was not an easy task because Liverpool and West Ham both lost in the first leg.

If only Aston Villa wins the Europa Conference League, England will not have enough points to rise to second place. Even if Liverpool or West Ham win the Europa League, England needs additional conditions. That is, Dortmund and Bayern Munich did not win the Champions League. Obviously, England is in an extremely difficult situation.
