Which English clubs are still in the Champions League? 

Treble winners Manchester City and rivals Arsenal are the only English teams in the Champions League. 

Newcastle and Manchester United were knocked out of Europe’s elite competition in the group stages. 

Both teams ended up finishing in last place. They failed to make the Europa League spot which is given to clubs who come third in their groups. 

Liverpool, West Ham and Brighton are still in the Europa League. They will play in the next round of the knockout stages after winning their groups.

Aston Villa are in the round of 16 of the Europa Conference League.
