Sint-Truidense VV did not get a direct ticket for the Europa League, but can still prepare for European football. The club must first survive a qualifying round. The Belgian club had a strong season, but did not get an extra European ticket from England. Due to the results on the final day of the Premier League, the Limburg club must play a qualifying round for the Europa League. Aston Villa secured fourth place and qualified directly for the Champions League. Liverpool finished fifth and that was bad news for STVV. If Aston Villa had finished fifth, STVV would have been able to participate directly in the League Phase of the Europa League. Now the Truienaars must first survive a qualifying round. For the Belgian club, that is a tough setback, because a direct ticket would have been both sporty and financially very interesting. Bournemouth and Sunderland finished sixth and seventh respectively and can therefore go to the League Phase of the Europa League. For Bournemouth, it will be a historic premiere. The club will play European football for the first time ever. Sunderland made an impressive story by winning a European ticket as a promoted team. On the final day, Sunderland also made a big move by beating Chelsea. Thanks to that win, the club jumped to seventh place. For Chelsea, the season ended with an extra painful outcome. Due to the loss to Sunderland and the other results, the London club was completely left out of European football. Brighton profited optimally from the point loss of competitors Brentford and Chelsea and eventually picked up the ticket for the play-offs of the Conference League, despite a loss to Manchester United. Crystal Palace also still has a chance at European football. The club can still qualify for the League Phase of the Europa League on Wednesday if it wins the Conference League.
