A completely absurd scenario could become a reality in England: however, some unlikely conditions would have to occur.
Newcastle United has secured the title in the League Cup with a victory against Liverpool. The success of the Magpies also has a direct impact on the qualification for European competition in England. Because: Newcastle actually has a place in the playoff phase of the Conference League for the coming season.
Should Newcastle, currently placed in sixth place in the Premier League, but already qualify for an international competition via the league, the next best team in the league table would take over the Newcastle place in the Conference League.

If other factors are added, even an extraordinary scenario could be reality: the team in 11th place! Could qualify for the Conference League.
Four teams are regularly qualified for the Champions League. Due to the strong achievements of the English clubs in European competitions, the Premier League could receive an additional Champions League place this season.
Is Newcastles Conference League ticket to the eleventh place?
Added to this are the winners of the FA Cup and the fifth or sixth place (should come to the Champions League) of the league in the Europa League and the league winner in the Conference League.
This number could increase significantly when various conditions arrive, as the Premier League illustrated on its official page in an example.
In this, Liverpool, Arsenal, Nottingham Forrest and Manchester City would qualify for the Champions League, Newcastle in fifth place. Brighton & Hove Albion would take sixth place and thus move into the Europa League.
The AFC Bournemouth would win the FA Cup (meets Manchester City in the quarterfinals) and end the league to seventh place. Chelsea would take eighth place and at the same time win the Conference League. In another unlikely scenario, Aston Villa would have to become ninth and get the Champions League title (quarter-finals against Paris Saint-Germain). And last but not least, Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur would have to take tenth place and win over the Europa League.
If all of this arrives, the Conference League-Platz, which Newcastle United has already won through the victory in the League Cup, would continue to be awarded and would go to the team in the table. A lot of question marks, but was not excluded now!
