For the first time ever Premier League clubs dominated Europa this season as the finalists for both the Champions League and Europa League are all English clubs.
Arsenal reached the Europa League final after beating Valencia 4-2 away from home. But they suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat by Chelsea in the final of the tournament and lost the final chance to have a Champions League football next season.
Meanwhile the all-English Champions League final looked extremely unlikely at various points. However, Liverpool overturned a three-goal deficit at Anfield to knock out La Liga champions Barcelona and progressed to the final with a stunning 4-3 aggregate victory. And now the two Premier League clubs are set to play in the final on June 1 at Madrid.
But Which English clubs will be in the Champions League next term?
There are seven teams scheduled to compete in the Europe next season and four spots are automatically allocated to the teams that finish in the first four positions in the Premiership.
Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham have all secured their places in next season’s Champions League.
Which English clubs will be in the Europa League?
Arsenal have joined Manchester United after they failed to defeat Chelsea in the Europa League final. Wolves have also a chance of entering the Europa League, but they will first have to go through several qualifying matches, starting with the second qualifying stage.
Where will the Champions League and Europa League finals take place?
Next season the final for the Champions League will take place at Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul on 30 May 2020. The final of the Europa League will be held on 27 May 2020 at Stadion Energa Gdansk, in Poland.
