The ranking is determined by how teams from each nation fare in UEFA's three competitions: the Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League. The Europa League last 16 tie at the Stadio Olimpico was Brighton's first European knockout match. Do Brighton have any chance of reaching the Europa League quarter-finals? Things got even worse for the Premier League side after the break when Gianluca Mancini slid in a third, before Bryan Cristante completed the rout. That means the Premier League are now playing catch-up when it comes to the extra Champions League spots, potentially costing United, who are sixth, and Tottenham, who sit fifth.
