England currently has a five-spot guarantee in the competition.
After Arsenal thrashed Real Madrid 3-0 in the first leg of their quarterfinal match, this was verified.
The Gunners went on to win 2-1 at the Bernabeu and will now face Paris Saint-Germain in the semis.
Manchester United will earn a spot in the Champions League if they win the Europa League.

They will now play Athletic Bilbao, and if they defeat the Spanish team and win the championship game, they will secure their coveted Champions League berth.
Arsenal’s league position, which places them second behind champions-elect Liverpool, already suggests that they will qualify for the Champions League.

After defeating Real Madrid, Mikel Arteta’s team will play Ligue 1 winners Paris Saint-Germain in the semifinals.
The Premier League would have seven teams at the top table of Europe if that scenario materialized, with the top five and the champions of the Europa League and Champions League qualifying.
