252 Chapter 252

By Sunday, Manchester United and Arsenal had drawn while Manchester City beat Swansea. But the last game of the day officially deprived the Manchester City duo of their theoretical chance to win the championship. Everton beat West Ham 5-1 at the London Bowl. The Toffees have scored big for two weeks in a row.

This also hit the QPR team hard. Not only did Everton make no mistakes, but they were almost in better shape than ever. That means Everton only need one point to win the title in the final league game next Sunday.

If Lu Ling still had a little luck before, hoping that bad luck would befall Nicholas, then after this round, her luck was completely gone.

Still, when she looked at the standings on her computer screen, there was still a sense of unreality.

Everton 27-7-388 at 81:29

qpr25-10-285 points 84:24

Manchester United 25-8-483 min 64:28

Manchester City 25-7-582 points 87:31

Liverpool 24-7-679 62:36

Chelsea 21-10-673 at 65:41

Arsenal 20-10-770 points 64:35

Manchester United and Manchester City are officially out of contention for the title, and QPR has officially locked up a top-four finish, and the top four has actually all been produced - Liverpool's goal difference is too far to threaten Manchester City, while Chelsea Arsenal have long since fallen behind. However, Chelsea still have a chance to win the Champions League and place next season's Champions League, while Arsenal and Liverpool still have a chance to win the Europa League to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Tim was on the couch eating a doughnut while babbling about how he was going to spend his summer, the honeymoon he had postponed for months.

Lu Ling didn't listen too carefully, her mood was very complicated.

Unlike last season, when she used all her strength to fight for fourth place with great expectations - the QPR of the entire second half of this season was not as close to Everton as it was to the title, theoretically speaking, not even Manchester City was close to the title before, and she and this team had actually accepted this little by little, but maybe no one realized it.

On the other hand, who would have thought that QPR would qualify for the Champions League at the end of the season, no, not only that, but maybe even finish second. This is not only the best result for QPR in the Premier League, but also the record for the best result in the top flight set in the club's history in 1976. Moreover, reaching the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup is the best result since 1986, while the quarter-finals of the Europa League equals the record set in 1977 for the best result in Europe.

It hasn't been a disappointing season, not by any means, although, after the final round, she will certainly have regrets if a miracle doesn't happen.

The TA's words buzzed in Lu Ling's ears, and she was sure she was listening, but she was also sure that those words had just skipped through her brain, without thinking.

Suddenly, a word popped in.

A very familiar word.

Banus.

Where did she hear it. Banus.

"Tim, you just said Banus?"

"Yes, have you been? in Marbella, I shouldn't have told you......"

Lu Ling looked at Tim's exaggerated appearance, shook his head, and smiled softly: "Oh, please, will I go to the place where you spent your honeymoon and call you back to work?" I haven't been, but it seems that someone has also mentioned this place to me, I don't remember much." Is that place pretty?"

"Paradise. ”

"So I'm really going to check it out. ”

"You must be joking, right?"

Lu Ling stood up, "Of course it's a joke, hurry up, Tim, we have to go to a meeting." Oh, and there are a few colleagues you might be in a meeting with for the last time. ”

Tim patted the sugar on his hand, "Tell them the day after the season ends?"

"That's right. ”

Chelsea suffered a huge upset in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final on 8 May, losing 1-0 to Real Madrid in regulation time (a 1-1 draw on aggregate) but beating them 4-3 on penalties at Stamford Bridge.

Bayern Munich also reversed the aggregate score in the second leg of another Champions League semi-final at the Allianz Arena the next day – two goals from Muller helped them level 3-2 on aggregate, and Neymar's unexpected injury before this game was one of the reasons for Barcelona's defeat.

In this way, Chelsea in the English Premier League and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga reached the 2018 Champions League final.

In Kyiv, Ukraine, the two teams will compete for the highest honours in Europe.

And in Thursday's Europa League tie, Arsenal and Liverpool both qualified. Two Premier League teams meet in the Europa League final. With Arsenal and Liverpool both out of the Premier League's top four, the game is effectively a race for an extra ticket to next season's Champions League.

On the same day, Gabriel Jesus received the Premier League's official award of the Season, and it was no surprise that three major awarding bodies awarded the Brazilian phenom the Player of the Season award.

****

On Sunday, May 13, at 3 p.m., the final round of the 2017-2018 Premier League season, ten games will start at the same time.

In the 44th minute of the first half, QPR had already led Newcastle 2-0.

That match between Everton and Tottenham Hotspur has yet to produce a goal. However, for Everton, a draw can also win the title.

"I wish Mauricio [Pochettino] would give us a hand......" Tim still muttered.

Lu Ling stared at the field with two eyes.

Tim was still talking.

"The two teams in Manchester are also competing...... Nobody wants to finish fourth, who wants to be Tottenham in 2012?" (Tottenham finished fourth in the Premier League in 2012, but it was Chelsea who won the Champions League that year, and Tottenham missed out on Champions League qualification next season)

The whistle sounded at the end of the first half.

Lu Ling got up and walked towards the players' tunnel.

The atmosphere at the new Queen's Park Stadium is like a big holiday. She glanced at the stands in front of her to see if there was still a little hope that if Everton lost to Tottenham, QPR would win the title.

And many fans in the stands next to her were shouting her name, clapping at her and saying a lot of encouraging words.

Lu Ling turned her head, she originally just wanted to smile and thank them, but she saw an unexpected slogan.

It was held up by a little girl, probably the size of a newspaper, and it was written in colored pen:

She thought it was a little funny, like the teasing nickname that the average student in the school gave to the most popular girl in the school in high school.

Several players and members of the coaching staff saw it, and they walked past her and joked about the slogan.

In fact, on TV, this is also the scene that is being played.

The camera did not leave the slogan held by the little girl for a long time.

In the second half of the game, substitute Joey Freeman scored a goal to make the score 3:0.

After that, almost everyone's attention at the new Queen's Park stadium turned to Everton's Gudison game against Tottenham Hotspur, which was 0-0 at 70 minutes.

It only takes Tottenham to score a ...... That's what everyone thinks.

In the 78th minute, there was finally a goal.

But the goal sent the whole of New Queen's Park into a state of frustration.

There were a lot of fans who cried.

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku scored.

Tim sighed.

Lu Ling looked at the field and snorted expressionlessly, this may be the most reasonable result. She never gave up, but the league title was not decided by this one game.

In the 85th minute at Goodison Park, Everton scored another winner from Dembele to seal the win.

When the final whistle blew at the new Queen's Park Stadium, the audience erupted in loud applause.

Lu Ling walked into the pitch, and someone whispered in her ear about the situation at Everton. In fact, the dust has settled, and she has accepted this in her heart. But did she really accept it? She knew it wasn't. She just needs to be bland.

All the cameras are on her, and then she will give her end-of-season speech.

This is not her first Premier League season, albeit her first full Premier League season. She won't be crying on her shoulders like she did last year, and she hopes she won't do that again.

The weather was sunny in west London today, and the sun was shining warmly on the pitch. The breeze ruffled her short hair, and she clapped at the fans in every direction as she walked inside the stadium. Around her, the players, the players on the bench, and everyone on the coaching staff were hugging each other in twos and threes, saying words of encouragement and gratitude to each other.

There are a lot of people who will be told to leave tomorrow, and there are a lot of people who she needs to stay as hard as she can. Rumours have started to mount in the newspapers, and the truth is that there are a number of clubs who have started to contact Rice and Simon. There will be a lot of people who will decide the future after the World Cup.

When she turned her head, she saw Leon and Zixiang crying, and Ian and Hans had many teammates comforting them. At this moment, she almost cried, but in fact, the tears were already in her eyes. But she took a deep breath and walked over.

She wants to say you're still young, I'm still young. As long as you are willing to stay, one day...... But she didn't say anything, she just walked over and hugged them, patting them on the shoulder.

She wondered if Pat would cry if he was still there, if the team was still doing the same?

Maybe she shouldn't have said that birthday wish, that was unlucky.

She didn't win the league title and lost Patrick Amber. 166 Reading Network
