The race for an additional UEFA Champions League berth is intensifying, with Germany’s Bundesliga and Italy’s Serie A vying for the coveted spot. Germany boasts two UCL semifinalists and a Europa League contender, while Italy has secured the first additional berth and boasts two UEL semifinalists. England’s hopes are fading after several setbacks, with Tottenham, Arsenal, and Manchester United facing an uphill battle. Spain’s Atletico Madrid, Athletic Club, and Real Sociedad are also at risk of missing out on UCL qualification, while France’s Ligue 1 remains in contention despite the unlikely presence of Stade Brestois 29 in a Champions League spot.
