La Liga Clinches 5th Champions League Spot

La Liga’s Success in Europe
La Liga had a remarkable night in Europe as Athletic Club and Real Betis secured positive results. The good news continues as Spain will now have five clubs participating in next season’s Champions League.
Additional Champions League Spot for La Liga
The new European football format grants an extra Champions League spot to the top two leagues in the co-efficient. Following the Premier League, La Liga has now officially earned this privilege as confirmed by Relevo.
Confirmation of La Liga’s Co-efficient Rank
With the recent results on Thursday, it was inevitable that La Liga would secure its place in the top two of the European co-efficient ranking. Athletic Club’s progress in the Europa League and Real Betis’ success in the UEFA Conference League were pivotal in this achievement.

Implications for Villarreal and Real Betis
This development is particularly beneficial for Villarreal and Real Betis, who are currently competing for fifth place in La Liga. Villarreal holds the advantage after their recent victory over Betis, putting them three points ahead with a game in hand.
European Qualification for La Liga Clubs
Aside from the five Champions League spots, La Liga also secures eight European places. The sixth and seventh-placed teams, currently Betis and Celta Vigo, would qualify for the Europa League, while the eighth-placed team, Mallorca, would participate in the UEFA Conference League.
