That is unless they have already qualified for Europe through the league, with City guaranteed a Champions League spot already. The winners of the Champions League and Europa League automatically qualify for the Champions League group stages - and there can only be a maximum of five English teams in Europe's top competition. This season there are only two Europa League spots, because of the introduction of the Europa Conference League (more on that in a bit). The Europa Conference League is Uefa's new third-ranked competition, effectively a step down from the Europa League. It could also mean instead of four Champions League teams, two in the Europa League and one in the Europa Conference League, the number of teams in each of those tournaments could change.
