After Liverpool tied… What does Newcastle need to qualify for the Champions League?

Newcastle is one step away from participating in the next edition of the Champions League, as we reach the last meters in the race for the current edition of the English Premier League.

Newcastle United ranks third in the current edition of the English Premier League, with 69 points, with a goal difference from fourth-placed Manchester United and three points from Liverpool, who stumbled earlier today, Saturday, in a draw against Aston Villa.

The first four players in the English Premier League table qualify for the UEFA Champions League, while the fifth-place finisher qualifies for the European League.

The Newcastle team has two matches left for the end of its season in the English Premier League, just like United, unlike Liverpool, who has one match left in the current version, which means that the maximum score the Reds may reach in the current season is 69.

This means that the Newcastle team achieving any positive result in its next match, whether a draw or victory, will raise its score to 70 points, which is the balance that Liverpool, the closest competitors for the fourth and third places, will not reach.

The remaining two matches for Newcastle in the English Premier League:

Monday May 22nd: Newcastle United vs Leicester City

Sunday May 28th: ​​Chelsea vs Newcastle United
