Following the results of yesterday's semi-final matches of the European League and Conference League, it became clear that Spain earned their fifth place in the main stage of the Champions League for the 2026/27 season.

In addition, at the final stage of the main European Cup, the Spaniards completely defeated Rayo Vallecano over Strasbourg (1:0) in the semi-finals of the Conference League, which is why the Spanish club won.

Apparently, since the expansion of the Champions League to 36 teams, two additional trips to the main stage will go to the countries whose clubs have scored the highest points in the UEFA rankings in the previous season. Previously, the additional place in the main European Cup tournament was taken by England.

After 34 rounds, Barcelona leads La Lisa with 88 points and is ahead of Real by 11 points.. The top three are Villarreal (68), followed by Atletico (63), Betis (53), Celta (47), Getafe (44), Athletic (44), Real Sociedad (43), Osasuna (42) and Rayo (42).
