Five representatives of the Spanish championship will play in the Champions League in the 2025/2026 season.
This became possible after Lazio lost in the second leg match against Norwegian Bodø/Glimt. The defeat of the Italian club made La Liga unattainable for Serie A. At the same time, Barcelona, Athletic, and Betis continued their participation in the European cups this season.
Interestingly, Italy will not be able to improve its representation even despite Inter reaching the semifinals of the Champions League and Fiorentina reaching the semifinals of the Conference League.
Recall that Lazio lost to Bodø/Glimt in a penalty shootout. For the Norwegian club, this is their first-ever advance to the semifinals of European cups.
