Liverpool lifted the title, but the big story was the scramble for Europe, with Arsenal and Man City securing Champions League spots, and VAR heartbreak for Aston Villa.
- Liverpool crowned Premier League champions after 1-1 draw with Palace
- Arsenal and Manchester City finish in the top four to seal UCL qualification
- Chelsea edge Forest 1-0 to take England’s fourth UCL slot
- Spurs and Newcastle also qualify due to the UEFA coefficient
- VAR denies Villa’s goal vs Man United, ending their UCL hopes
- Palace (FA Cup winners) and Forest take Europa and Conference League spots
Liverpool’s title was decisive, but the European drama stole the show. Arsenal quietly sealed second, showing their steady progress, while Man City’s late surge earned them third. Chelsea’s narrow win kept them just ahead, as Spurs and Newcastle benefited from England’s extra UCL allocation.
But it’s Aston Villa who will feel robbed, a VAR decision ruled out a potential equaliser, and with it, their best chance in decades. The emotion was raw. Fans online called it “gutting.” Captain John McGinn summed it up: “Incredible. I don’t know what else to say.”
Liverpool reign again, Arsenal and City stay strong, and Villa are left wondering “what if?” Eyes now turn to next season ,fixtures drop on June 18.
