WHAT HAPPENED?

Premier League sides have performed well in Europe in recent seasons, with Manchester City winning last season's Champions League, Liverpool narrowly missing out to Madrid in the previous year's final, and Chelsea winning the competition in 2021. But <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/premier-league-arsenal-defeat-to-bayern-munich-four-champions-league-places-english-teams/blt90a02f38d07230cb" target="_self">2024 has been a different story</a> - all English clubs have now been knocked out of the UCL and the Europa League, while three German clubs have progressed to the respective tournaments' semi-finals. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-emi-martinez-not-sent-off-aston-villa-penalty-shootout-lille-second-yellow-card-clashing-home-fans/blt0bb2fc20210bacac" target="_self">Europa Conference League semi-finalists Aston Villa</a> remain the Premier League's sole representatives in Europe.
