As a nation, there was no overriding dominant force from England last year in the competition.
Last season, four English teams featured in the league phase. Germany and Italy were the only nations with more than England at five each, due to their clubs’ performance in European competitions during the 2023-24 campaign.
Arsenal were England’s best performers, reaching the semi-finals after knocking out Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.
Teams from England, Italy, France and Spain reached the last four.
In the league phase, England were the best-performing nation with three clubs in the top eight. Spain were the next best with two.
Despite having five teams in it, Germany lost two in the league phase, with Spain and Italy also losing one each.
With six English teams in this season’s campaign and four in the top 10 of Uefa’s club rankings, English teams will expect to dominate more than they did last term.
