How the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League qualifying spots will be decided this season, including what Crystal Palace’s FA Cup win means for the Eagles and other Premier League sides… How eighth can still qualify for Europe and it hinges on Chelsea and Newcastle If Chelsea win the Conference League and then finish seventh and Newcastle finish inside the top six – or Chelsea finish sixth and Newcastle seventh – eighth place in the Premier League will qualify for Europe. Chelsea would enter the Europa League as Conference League winners and Newcastle’s Conference League spot for winning the Carabao Cup would be passed on, with the Magpies going into the Europa League through league position. This would mean the Premier League has 10 teams in Europe. So who could finish eighth?

The business end of European football begins this week as the first legs of the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League semi-finals take centre stage. With five English clubs still in the mix, GOtv viewers are in for a thrilling run of high-stakes football action across three nights. Champions League: Arsenal Face PSG Test, Barcelona Eye Treble Arsenal will return to Champions League action on Tuesday, with a blockbuster clash against Ligue 1 champions PSG at the Emirates. Kick-off is at 8:00 PM on GOtv Channel 66 (SS Action). The Gunners earned their spot after a dominant 5-1 aggregate win over Real Madrid, but face a PSG side that’s already eliminated Liverpool and Aston Villa in the knockout stages. Arsenal will be hoping to avoid becoming the third English casualty on the Parisians’ path to the final. On Wednesday, Barcelona host Inter Milan in another heavyweight Champions League tie. Kick-off is at 8:00 PM on GOtv Channel 66 (SS Action). Fresh from winning the Copa del Rey over the weekend and sitting top of La Liga, Flick’s men are chasing a historic treble. However, Inter, who knocked out Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, will be no pushovers. Europa League: United and Spurs Out to Salvage Seasons The Europa League semi-finals kick off on Thursday, with both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur needing strong results to rescue otherwise disappointing domestic campaigns. United will be away to Spanish outfit Athletic Club, with kick-off at 8:00 PM on GOtv Channel 66 (SS Action). Erik ten Hag’s side have struggled in the Premier League and are currently in 14th place, but edged past Lyon in a 13-goal thriller (7-6 on aggregate) to stay alive in Europe. Tottenham, meanwhile, face Norwegian side Bodø/Glimt at home. Kick-off is also at 8:00 PM on GOtv Channel 65 (SS EPL). Spurs, sitting 16th in the league, have endured a torrid campaign but narrowly beat Frankfurt 2-1 over two legs to reach this stage. A path to the final, and potentially Champions League football next season, remains on the line for both clubs. If both English sides can navigate their semi-finals, a blockbuster all-English final could be on the cards. Conference League: Chelsea Look to Keep Perfect Run Alive Chelsea have been the standout team in the UEFA Conference League this season, winning 11 of their 12 matches. They’ll look to extend that dominance when they take on Djurgårdens IF at Stamford Bridge on Thursday. Kick-off is at 8:00 PM on GOtv Channel 61 (SS Football). With their domestic top-four hopes fading, this competition presents a golden opportunity for silverware and continental pride.

The dramatic turnaround sent the crowd into a frenzy and booked United’s place in the semi-finals, keeping their European hopes alive in unforgettable fashion.

Onana to Return for Man United vs. Lyon -Amorim

Our Reporters2 months ago2 months ago06 mins

André Onana will return to the Manchester United team for their crucial Europa League clash against Lyon, head coach Ruben Amorim has confirmed. Onana was omitted for the 4-1 defeat to Newcastle United on Sunday after making two errors in the first game against Lyon last week. But the goalkeeper will return for the second leg at Old Trafford on Thursday, replacing No. 2 Altay Bayindir. Joshua Zirkzee will miss the game against the Ligue 1 side after being ruled out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury picked up at St. James’ Park. “Onana will play tomorrow,” Amorim said. “I just think first of all as a coach and also as a former player, I try to do things that can help a player in this situation. “So sometimes we talk about managing players physically, we have to manage them also mentally but they have to return to competition. “Onana is ready, he had one weekend that I felt it was better for him to not play and a good thing for Altay to play and this week my thinking was to put Onana to play.” Speaking at a news conference on Wednesday, Amorim was also asked whether he could look to sign a new goalkeeper ahead of next season. “We need to improve every position on the field, goalkeeper is the same,” Amorim said. “We can work with André. André Onana already proved he is a top player with Inter. Altay the same with Fenerbahce. We are going to make that evaluation for any position in the squad. You can see my record. My record is the worst in the team. I am also underperforming.” The tie against Lyon is finely balanced after the 2-2 draw in France. Zirkzee came off the bench to score at Groupama Stadium, but will miss the return fixture after suffering a hamstring problem in the second half against Newcastle. Amorim confirmed the 23-year-old will not play again this season, leaving Rasmus Højlund as the only recognised senior striker in the squad. Højlund is enduring a difficult campaign with just eight goals in 43 games. “Joshua is out for the season,” Amorim said. “He will not play more this season, let’s prepare him for the next one. It is tough for him especially in this moment. “He is improving in all aspects and it is hard for any player to stop.” Despite languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table, United could still finish the season with a trophy and a place in next season’s Champions League if they win the Europa League. Victory over Lyon would set up a semifinal against either Athletic Club or Rangers. Winning the competition would give Amorim a vital boost going into the summer and the Portuguese coach has admitted that playing in the Champions League would change what the club can do in the next transfer window. “It is more about the budget,” he said. “That is important when you are planning the next season. Champions League can change everything. You can see it both ways. If you have Champions League it is going to be tough to play against top teams on Wednesday and then top teams in the Premier League. “We are in the moment when the team needs a lot of work, that means a lot of time to train. We want to win the title, that is the most important thing. If you don’t have Champions League you have full weeks to rebuild the team.”
