() The 03-04 season is coming to an end, and on May 15, the Premier League finale.

Chelsea's narrow 1-0 win at home to Leeds United capped off Rapnieri's season.

At the final home stadium, Claudio Ranieri greeted his supporters with tears in his eyes, and the sadness of parting hung over Stamford Bridge.

For a season, Ranieri has only gained the courage to persevere from his players and fans. And when he looked up, there were only the expressionless faces of Abu and Kane.

The players on the bench were also silent because they were not sure where their future would hold.

Perhaps, as Ranieri told the media before the game: "I can only kick the ball to Abu's side now, and I don't know how long my holiday will be between seasons. ”

But old Chelsea fans remember Ranieri well, and they paid their respects to the 52-year-old at home.

Forty-one thousand fans crowded Stamford Bridge, chanting the same slogan: "There's only one Ranieri, there's only one Ranieri!" ”

When the whistle blew for the end of the match, Ranieri could no longer control his emotions in front of the passionate crowd. He greeted the fans around him, waving his arms and wiping away the tears that had come out of his eyes.

"Coach—" Richards handed over a tissue to the side, equally full of emotion.

"Richards, do you hear that? The fans are shouting my name! Ranieri choked up, "Maybe we won't have a second meeting, I'm going to say goodbye to them!" ”

Ranieri bowed deeply to the fans in the home stands, thanking them for the cheers they had received over the past four years.

Meanwhile, an intriguing image has been posted on the official Chelsea Football Club website.

On the left, there is a series of great results for Claudio Ranieri's Chelsea, while on the right is a photograph of the Italian just waving goodbye to the fans.

In this moment, the mixed feelings of pride and sadness accompanied Ranieri, and the Chelsea club scarf on the old man's chest also stood out.

Claudio Ranieri has led the Blues to their best league result since 1955 this season, while making Champions League history with Nemesis Arsenal at Highbury has raised eyebrows for Chelsea fans.

In the end, Chelsea's Premier League points were fixed at 84, six points behind the Gunners, the best result in the club's history. Manchester United won the title last season with only 83 points, and if it weren't for the Gunners' too much BT this season, Chelsea might have really won the first Premier League trophy since the old League One.

Ranieri may have been destined to be a tragic figure.

In Florence, it was he who built the central axis of "Batty-Ruicosta-Toldo"; At Valencia, he laid the groundwork for Cooper's two Champions League finals; Now at Chelsea, he seems to be returning to the same path as a coach and the foundation of a rising empire.

Ranieri handed in a passing answer sheet in the final exam in the bleak wind, and fans still remember the kind smile and Italian humor of the old Italian years later.

In the final game of the Premier League season, there was also one game that attracted attention, and that was Arsenal's match against Leicester City.

In the first half, Leicester City, who had booked a place in League One for next season, almost put Arsenal's great history to shame.

The visitors broke the deadlock first in the 26th minute when Sinclair got away from Patrick Vieira's cross on the right and former Arsenal striker Dikov headed home from a tight angle on the left side of the six-yard box.

After the game, Arsene Wenger also said that he was a little panicked at half-time: "I was really shocked, the bitter taste of swallowing the bitter fruit of defeat was so uncomfortable! We had a heavy pace and a lack of focus, but the determination of the players in the dressing room to refuse defeat was evident and it looked like we were going to win the game in the second half. ”

Arsenal are unbeaten in 14 previous meetings with Leicester City, who have not won 16 visits to Highbury in the last 30 years.

Just one minute into the second half, Bergkamp picked up a cross into the penalty area. Cole was brought down by Sinclair and Henry equalised from the penalty spot.

It was the Emperor's 30th goal of the season!

Arsenal continued to press after the equaliser, and in the 66th minute, Bergkamp were inspired to deliver a beautiful through ball that Vieira burst into the box and first touched the ball past goalkeeper Walker before comfortably sending the ball into the empty net.

Veteran Keown was cheered on his last appearance at Highbury three minutes before the break. In the end, Arsenal won the league title this season with an unbeaten record.

After the game, when the Frenchman reappeared in front of the cameras, he changed his usual caution.

"It was the greatest moment I've had since I came here. An unbeaten season is a constant reminder in my dreams, it's really special, it's unique. Now that it's all over, I'm happy and proud of the performance. They are all aware of what they have achieved. ”

An unbeaten streak in a single sport can be frozen by the retirement of a talented player, but in the collective sport of football, the competition will continue.

Arsenal's unbeaten run will not be a myth forever, but will become a target for other Premier League opponents to beat. Arsene Wenger did not deny this: "It's hard to keep because you've relaxed your mentality and for your opponent to beat you is the best reward. ”

"May I ask Mr Arsene Wenger, have any of the last games we have lost this season?" Remember the interview.

"Maybe it's the first game." The professor recalls the opening game of the Premier League: "It was against Everton and we only had 10 men. But 9 months have passed, and we still haven't lost! ”

'What about Chelsea?'

"Chelsea?" "Chelsea defended well, but they couldn't break down our defence. Of course, the Champions League game doesn't count! The professor replied with a smile.

"You know, an unbeaten league run is almost beyond the limits of your beliefs! What we did was the first since Arsenal was founded in 1889. I don't know what better we can go for in the league after that! ”

"And what about next season? Will Arsenal remain unbeaten in the league next season? Remember to ask.

"Everything started from scratch, and we started a new journey. An unbeaten run of the season will keep us strong at the start of next season, but Arsenal have no other advantage! ”

Other Arsenal players also paid tribute to their comrades and coaches, who saw the unbeaten season as an infinitely beautiful dream for future generations to chew on.

Thierry Henry, perhaps epiphany, that an unbeaten season might be a great achievement that will not be repeated in his lifetime, was full of emotion: "It's not over, it may take 20 years for people to realise the significance of what we are doing today. What we do is beyond the scope of people's sense of wonder. If there is a team that can repeat our history in the years to come, that's okay because we were the first to make history, so it will be recorded by history. We will always remember this season, we are unbeaten! ”

For all Premier League players, the 03-04 season is behind us. But this season, whether it is Chelsea's strong rise or the Gunners' unbeaten myth, it is full of memories.

Just like the same blue and one red clubs in London, it is there, standing tall and not falling.

Iron battalions and flowing soldiers.

For the Frenchman, it was one of the most memorable seasons of his life; But for the Italian, his coaching career is about to start anew.
