Premier League seals fifth Champions League spot after Arsenal's 3-0 win over Real Madrid - and England could still have seven teams in the competition

England are officially guaranteed a minimum of five teams in the Champions League next season after Arsenal beat Real Madrid 3-0 on Tuesday night.

Declan Rice scored two stunning free-kicks, including the very first of his career, to put Mikel Arteta's side in complete control of the quarter-final tie at the Emirates.

Mikel Merino then scored the third goal with 75 minutes on the clock, ensuring a night to remember for both the Gunners and the Premier League as a whole.

Just one more win in any of the three European competitions would have wrapped up the fifth spot for England and four more clubs are in action this week.
