Premier League finale: Liverpool s 20th championship, City Car Magpie catches the last bus of the Champions League, Manchester United hits the worst in history

In the early morning of May 26, all the last round of the Premier League started at the same time; after the final 10 games, the Premier League rankings and endings of this season were settled; Liverpool won the championship, and all three promoted teams were relegated; Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle took the last bus to the Champions League.

Compared with the past few years, the suspense of the Premier League championship this season ended early. Liverpool regained the Premier League championship after defeating Tottenham in the 34th round; this is the 20th league championship in the history of the Red Army; Arsenal has already secured a Champions League place in advance after winning the last round, becoming the second Premier League team after Liverpool to secure a Champions League place through the league. As for the relegation zone, Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich returned to the Championship together early.

In this way, the suspense of the last round of the Premier League is that the remaining 5 teams will compete for the last three Champions League tickets in this round; before the start of the game, Manchester City ranked third with 68 points to occupy the initiative in the competition for Champions League qualification, and Newcastle, Chelsea and Villa all have 66 points. Because Manchester City has a 2-point advantage and a clear goal difference advantage, they only need to ensure that they can get a Champions League place in one point; in the final match against Fulham, Gundogan and Haaland each scored a goal, and Manchester City ranked third.

Chelsea and Nottingham Forest have met directly, and whoever wins will get the right to participate in the Champions League; Colewell scored his only goal in the game, and Chelsea came from behind to return to the Champions League with the fourth place in the league. The last place belongs to Newcastle. Although the Magpies accidentally lost to Everton, who was already indifferent to the home court; but with Forest losing and Manchester United defeating Villa, Newcastle was able to win the fifth place in a thrilling position and will compete in the Champions League again after one year.

Villa and Newcastle both have 66 points, but their goal difference is the disadvantaged side and they can only participate in the Europa League; however, the Europa League is no stranger to Emery, who has led the team to win the Europa League four times. The original dark horse, Forest, who has been in the Champions League for a long time, missed the opportunity to return to the Champions League, ranked 7th, and Crystal Palace won the FA Cup, so they can only participate in the UEFA Cup next season.

In other rankings, even if Manchester United beat Villa in the last round, they ranked 15th, which directly created the worst ranking in the league in the history of the Red Devils; as for Tottenham, although they were barely ranked 17th, they also created the worst ranking in the Premier League in the history of the team; but they had already qualified for the Champions League in the Central Europa League last week.
