On April 20, Manchester City hosted Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich faced Manchester City, the biggest opponent in the history of the club, and did their best, but in the case that Manchester City's winning ** was not worse than them, but the strength was much stronger, they did not create a miracle, Ding Hongxing's brace twice helped Manchester City beat Bayern Munich 3-0, and they advanced to the final with a score of 4-0 over two legs.
Bayern Munich players and fans are crying without tears, in recent seasons, Bayern Munich's results in the Champions League have actually been quite good, repeatedly reaching the quarterfinals and even the semifinals, but almost every time it falls at the feet of Ding Hongxing, if they want to choose a player they hate the most, Ding Hongxing will definitely be at the top of the list.
In the other semi-final, Manchester United beat Juventus 2-1 after two legs to reach the final, which was the first time in the Premier League era that United reached the Champions League final, which was historic for them.
The Champions League final became a civil war in the Premier League, which also cheered the English media and fans, and the Manchester derby was staged on the stage of the Champions League final for the first time.
For Premier League teams, there will be three more Premier League teams in next season's Champions League, thanks to Manchester City and Manchester United reaching both Champions League finals.
Manchester City beat Derby County 3-1 away on 24 April and three days later, they beat Blackburn Rovers by the same score in the FA Cup semi-finals to reach the final, where they will face Chelsea.
In the last three rounds of the league, Manchester City did not stop winning, they first beat Leicester 4-0 at home, then won Wimbledon by two goals away, in the last game, Manchester City hosted Everton, this will be Ding Hongxing's last league game in Manchester City, and his last game at Maine Road Stadium, it can be called his farewell game at home, of course, he can't announce his retirement now, because Manchester City has two games left, and now he announces his retirement is to disturb the morale of the army.
However, in this game, Ding Hongxing can go all out and put on a perfect performance for Manchester City fans at home.
As a result, Ding Hongxing staged a big four in this game, helping Manchester City sweep Everton 6-0 at home.
The score meant that Manchester City had a perfect end to their Premier League season as they won all 38 games and had 114 points, 35 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United.
City have scored a horrific 148 goals and conceded just 135 goals, with the fewest goals scored by the team in the Premier League with 44 goals, not even a third of Manchester City's.
Ding Hongxing scored 77 goals personally, an average of more than two goals per game, and scored in every game, which is also a jaw-dropping result.
Third in the league is Arsenal, who are just one point behind Manchester United, but they have qualified for next season's Champions League alongside Manchester City and Manchester United.
Three teams have been relegated this season, they are Charlton Athletic, Blackburn Rovers and Nottingham Forest, among which Blackburn's relegation is the most embarrassing, just four seasons ago, they were the Premier League champions, but just four seasons later, they have fallen to the point of relegation.
Although the individual awards of this season's Premier League have yet to be announced, everyone knows that Manchester City will surely be the biggest winner of the season's best.
Just at the end of the Premier League, this season's NBA regular season is also over, the playoffs are in full swing, this is a shrinking season, the regular season only goes on fifty rounds, thirty fewer rounds than the eighty-two rounds it should be, and in the end, the Houston Rockets achieved a 31-19 record, ranked fifth in the West, and played a best-of-five matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers, fourth in the West, in the first round of the playoffs.
On May 16, when Manchester City defeated Chelsea 3-0 at Wembley Stadium to win the FA Cup for the third time in a row, the Houston Rockets also lost 1-3 to the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the playoffs and were eliminated.
And after this failed season, superstar Scott, who just joined the Rockets last season. Pippen immediately turned against his teammates and in the newspaper with Charles. Ross Barkley engaged in a war of words, blaming each other for the main cause of the team's failure.
In real history, because of Pippen's feud with Barkley, Rockets general manager Carroll. Dawson made a stupid trade by trading Pippen, who has been in pretty good form this season, to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Kevin. Cato, Brian. Shaw, Ogmont, Rutgers, Walter. Williams and Ed. Gray and several other pure dragon players, Pippen to the Trail Blazers, became their leader, led the Trail Blazers to good results in a row, and even reached the Western Conference Finals, but none of the six players traded by the Rockets achieved decent results, and this deal was later named one of the top ten stupid trades in Rockets history.
Of course, in this life, this deal is certainly not possible, in fact, as soon as the season ends, the ownership and operation of the Rockets will automatically be transferred to Xinghai Investment.
Xinghai Investment's investment manager for the Houston Rockets took over all the team's operations, and player trading was temporarily halted, of course, the news of the team's change of ownership will not be until after the Champions League final, when Lin Yaozu and Ding Hongxing can be distracted by the NBA.
The Trail Blazers have shown interest in Pippen as they have historically done, and in their opinion, Pippen has made his conflicts with his teammates and the team public, and it is impossible for him to stay with the Rockets, and the Trail Blazers are mostly young and have no superstars to press, and they need an experienced superstar like Pippen to be the leader.
In their opinion, now is the best time to take advantage of the fire, and they made the above trade offer, but this time Carol . Dawson didn't rush to agree to the offer as he did in real history, not because he didn't want to agree, but because he was stripped of his power, and the deal, which was supposed to be completed soon, was put on hold.
