Liverpool to benefit from massive Champions League boost Slot receives massive boost in Champions League race Multiple reports have now stated that in order for Slot to continue in the Anfield dugout beyond the end of the season Champions League qualification must be achieved. Liverpool are well in the race for the top four, but there are several teams close behind and it will not be easy to finish in the top four. Luckily for Slot, Arsenal’s win over Sporting CP on Tuesday night means that an additional Champions League place is now guaranteed to go to the Premier League.
This means that whoever finishes fifth in the league will also qualify for the Champions League, a massive boost for the Reds. Missing out on Europe’s premier competition would not just have lasting consequences for Slot but also have major financial implications for Liverpool. The Reds currently sit fifth in the league, and finishing there will be a simpler task than trying to break into the top four.
It is also still possible for Slot’s side to qualify by winning the Champions League, but that seems unlikely.
