Man City winning the FA cup creates another extra Europa league slot

I no know football? Tell me wetin I talk wrong for my comment. Share your knowledge make we see wetin you Sabi.

Rubyjade:
Yes, it does, but with a slight catch: it doesn't create an additional overall slot for the Premier League, but rather shifts how a slot is allocated, passing a second Europa League place down to the Premier League table.

Here is exactly how the domino effect works following Manchester City's FA Cup final win:

The Rule

The winner of the FA Cup is automatically awarded a place in the UEFA Europa League group stage. However, because Manchester City have already qualified for the Champions League via their top-two finish in the Premier League, they cannot use the FA Cup's Europa League slot.

UEFA rules dictate that a performance-based cup slot cannot be wasted, so it is passed down to the highest-placed Premier League team that has not already qualified for a European competition.

The Knock-On Effect on the Premier League Table

Because Manchester City won both the Carabao Cup earlier this season and the FA Cup, both of their domestic cup European slots cascade down the league table.

As a result, the European qualification spots break down like this:

1st – 5th Place:Champions League (including the extra European Performance Spot earned by English clubs).
6th Place: Europa League (Standard league allocation).
7th Place: Europa League (This is the slot transferred from the FA Cup winners).
8th Place: Conference League (This is the slot transferred from the Carabao Cup winners).


In conclusion, while the Premier League doesn't get a "new" extra team in Europe because of the FA Cup result, 7th place is upgraded from a Conference League spot to a Europa League spot, and 8th place now gets a ticket to the Conference League.As the table stands currently
6. Bournemouth

7. Brighton Europa League

8. Brentford Conference League

All una banter na when Arsenal is mentioned una prick dey rise.
Chelsea lost 3 : 0 against this same city but where celebrating cos of Arsenal hatred but became serious to win this cup no be juju be that.
I have realized that Arsenal misery is the only source of happiness to majority of English football fans.
Enjoy your loss and stop masturbating about Arsenal games.

yommen:
FA cup is not new, Carabao self no too carry weight. Arsenal are still in contention for the better 2. The 2 of them or ANYONE of them at all is just fine. If Arsenal ends with only the EPL, it's a very successful season already.

You can't mock the world champion till 2029. The badge is there. The evidence is on all cups. It's only Chelsea FC that had won all cups ever made available in the whole wide world. If e easy, make your club sef run am

Haydens:
No-one stopped anyone from signing any player sha, pep knows what he wants and he goes for it and gets it, so should your coach do too.

Usmanovic95:

wengerman:
How can Chelsea expect to win by fielding six defenders.

That still hasn't erased the fact that we are the WORLD CHAMPION till 2029. If e easy make your club sef go run am.

Please try and win it first and that will be a very good one for Arteta. Liverpool and United have 20. City have won it at least 5x in the last 7 years while Chelsea have won it in the last 10 years. BTW, I am not a Chelsea fan. I am just someone who believes in humility especially when one has won nothing.

Arsenal fans Will learn new things very 🔜.

Hbp will deal with many of them

Peacecore:
What was the incident that deserves penalty?

Dohn:
yhh, staged for arsenal to win by all means necessary. Bt e go fail them

Adakintroy:
You not a humble person. Humility demand you tell truth irrespective of your ego. Notice how you systematical listed all the archeivment of the other teams and act like arsenal are not 13 times champions. Did the league begin 7 years ago?. All of you who claim to be football fans are a disgrace. This whole arsenal thing just keep exposing you all.

obi4eze:
I didnt care about Chelsea loss. I am not a Chelsea fan. I am just one who believes in humility especially when one has won nothing. Stay humble ehn...

obi4eze:
Sorry, my bad. Yea. Arsenal 13x Champions but none in the last 20 years I hope you're happy now

Murketeer:
Lol ...Chelsea fans una need help....Man city has just cheated you with dubious decisions in this final...instead of you to dey vex against man city ...na arsenal you dey face

Adakintroy:
Am happy but I feel sad for you. As a football analyst. Cuz it show the level of maturity. If I say Brazil are 5 time world cup champions. Will I have to take away their win in early years. Respect is respect for all era. Last 20 yrs is very long ago for some people while still very short for some. It depend on your memory span or your length of commitment to the game. It's why I say some of you football fans now can be categorized as "indomie generation" fan. Cuz everything about football started recent. If it's not recent it not part off. It's shamefull dealing with some of you sef.

obi4eze:
Yea Brazil are 5x world cup champions but not premier league champions. It also doesn't take away the fact that they haven't won anyone since 2002. Why comparing the WC that occurs every 4 years to an EPL that goes on every year? If you have any problem dealing with the fact that Arsenal haven't won an EPL in 20 years, it's not my fault. Take your anger out on your club management and Manager. I am not Arteta or Stan Kroenke. The club I like hasn't won a title since 2013 but I don't take it out on anyone here. I am not happy with the Management and appointment of Carrick as Permanent Head Coach. I will ever stay humble because I know United will not do well like before with GLINEOS in charge. Bro, like I said earlier, stay humble and don't take out your frustration on me. No be my fault say Arsenal has never won a title in 20 years ehn. Sorry

You go cry am against Burnley or Palace no worry
