Tottenham Hotspur's hopes have disappeared.

The UEFA Champions League (UCL) will expand the number of participating teams from 32 teams to 36 teams from the upcoming 2024-25 season. Two of the four tickets will go to the top two teams with the highest points earned in the European competition.

Points for the European competition are accumulated as teams in each country perform well in the European competition. Naturally, Tottenham, currently ranked fifth in the Premier League, was hoping that Premier League teams that advanced to the European competition would perform well.

However, they were wiped out with only one team left in the quarterfinals. Manchester City and Arsenal, who advanced to the quarterfinals of the UCL on the 18th, were eliminated after losing to Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, respectively, in the second match. Then on the 19th, West Ham finished their UEFA Europa League journey after losing to Bayer 04 Leverkusen. On the same day, Liverpool also won 1-0 over Atalanta, but was eliminated after losing 1-3 overall.

After all, the only team that survived the European competition was Aston Villa, who advanced to the semifinals of the UEFA Europa Conference League. Villa lost to LOSC Reel 1-2 in the second leg of the UECL quarterfinals on Wednesday. However, the score was 3-3, and they overcame Reel to advance to the semifinals after penalty shootout.

However, Tottenham's hope is expected to disappear even after Villa's advance to the semifinals. Currently, the Premier League is ranked third with 17,375 points in the European competition. In second place, just above, is the German Bundesliga, which scored 17.928 points. For Tottenham, it is easy to win UCL tickets only when the Premier League beats the Bundesliga.

However, the Bundesliga currently has as many as three teams surviving the European competition. Munich and Borussia Dortmund advanced to the UCL semifinals only. There is also Leverkusen in the UEL. Compared to the Premier League, many teams performed well in the top competitions. 토토사이트

After all, Tottenham will have to take fourth place in the league on its own. However, the mood has not been good lately. Tottenham suffered a 0-4 defeat in the away match of Newcastle United in the 33rd round of the Premier League on the 13th. They have played one game less than Villa in fourth place, but Villa have added three more points in the same round as Arsenal, and they are currently three points ahead of Tottenham.
