The Premier League has secured a fifth Champions League spot for next season's competition - although that could yet rise to seven places.
A fifth-place finish will now be enough for Champions League qualification after Arsenal's 1-0 win at Sporting in the quarter-final first leg sealed the extra place.
It is the second consecutive year that the Premier League has earned an additional spot, with the Premier League top of the European Performance Standings.
