Only four teams qualify for each league, unless they have changed the rules recently.

*If the winners of the FA Cup finish in the top five, their UEL spot goes to the next-placed team in the PL yet to qualify
**If the winners of the EFL Cup finish in the top five, their UEL spot goes to the next-placed team in the PL yet to qualify

Should a Premier League club win the UEFA Champions League they will automatically qualify for the group stage of next season’s competition regardless of their league finishing position.

A maximum of five Premier League teams are eligible for UEFA Champions League qualification.

 

I'm still confused on that.

If Liverpool win, wouldn't their top four spot go to a team from a certain country on the UEFA coefficients list? There was a lot of talk over here about the Netherlands rising three spots (so far) on the list to climb above Austria this season. It's a confusing business.

No CL for ManU after all. Sorry for making some as confused as me.

City are on the verge of capturing the title. Kompany hit a beautiful curving shot that the GK could not defend. 

[Dmitry]

Salah AND Firmino both are out for tonight's Barca match.

[Brad]

Wouldn’t matter anyway.

Football. Lovely football.

Marvellous Liverpool

[Brad]

What an embarrassment. 

[erwbol]

And to think I was going to skip tonight's game and clean the apartment ...

One more proof that Messi is a genius footballer, but not a leader.

An incredible game. Alexander-Arnold's corner was cheeky genius. The atmosphere sounded deafening . Cliched it may be but the crowd really were the 12th man last night.

I’d like to see Ajax win today and I think they will; Spurs have not played well lately. Moreover, if Spurs prevail, Liverpool will surely win and that is the last thing I’d want to see.

[mjazzg]

Spurs, my local team, two miles away. COYS!!

However who as a serious football fan hasn't got a soft spot for Ajax. Great history, great legacy throughout Europe and a classic home strip too

 

[erwbol]

AJAX!!!!!!

[erwbol]

2 - 0 !!!!!!!

[mjazzg]

Not any more!!!!!

Pride of north London!

[Brad]

Great, an all England final. 

[Dmitry]

Amazing......

Matches like this make me feel so lucky for being a fan!

Grudging respect to Spurs from me. ...

I didn't think they had it in them. Funny how the two finalists steeped up when they were missing their stars. When that happens, it seems as if the rest of the team works harder than just relying on their star to win it for them. 

[mjazzg]

Arsenal fans (a cross borne by Clunky, I believe) probably still don't think that 

If Kane is fit for the final it will present Pochettino with a very interesting decision. When Kane last came back from injury, some say too early, it seemed that the team faltered from the good run they'd enjoyed in his absence..
