Chapter Twenty-Six: Looking at the Storm

After the end of the 33rd round of the Premier League, Sunderland, the biggest dark horse in this row, is still 8 points ahead of Everton behind them, and with only five rounds left in the league, Sunderland has almost locked the last place in next season's Europa League qualification; At the same time, Manchester United also dropped one place from second place in the table due to the loss of three points at the Stadium of Light, and the "Blues" Chelsea are currently at the top of the table with 75 points, the "Blue Moon" Manchester City is second with 72 points, and the "Red Devils" Manchester United are third with 70 points. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, although Manchester United is currently as many as 5 points behind the top team, they still have a great chance of winning the championship, because their schedule can be said to be the best among the three teams currently competing for the title, and the opponents in the last five rounds of the league are all opponents ranked between 9 and 17, these teams are in the middle of the table, and there is no possibility of impacting Europe, nor the task of relegation, so it is difficult to form any resistance to the Manchester United team that aims to impact the championship trophy. A number of media outlets have even optimistically predicted that United would win all of their final five rounds, fixing their league points at 85 points, and then throwing all the pressure on their other two rivals.

At the same time, this is not the best for Manchester United, the most beneficial for them is the schedule of the other two rivals, because both Manchester City and Chelsea will face the challenge of Sunderland who have just knocked Manchester United down in the last five rounds, Sunderland has just played the role of a roadblock, and Manchester United is also looking forward to this season's dark horse team can also play the role of a roadblock against Chelsea and Manchester City again, even a draw can increase Manchester United's hope of winning the title! The final highlight is a head-to-head clash between Chelsea and Manchester City, who will take on Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium in the final round of the league and could be the most crucial game in determining who will win the Premier League this season.

The "Gunners" Arsenal team, which has always been known as the "Crazy Devil for the Four", is currently in fourth place with 65 points, behind him is Tottenham Hotspur with 63 points and Liverpool with 62 points, and the Sunderland team coached by Nan Xiao is temporarily ranked seventh with 60 points!

Sunderland's next five league games are next weekend away at Watford, then at Dean Court against Bournemouth, then back at home to Manchester City, then at London Stamford Bridge against the mighty Blues Chelsea, and finally back at home for the final game of the Premier League season, and ...... of conversations.

The Premier League has entered a white-hot stage, and other major European leagues are also very competitive.

First of all, La Liga, because Atletico Madrid has fallen behind, so this year's championship battle will still be between Barcelona and Real Madrid, the current point gap between the two teams is not large, Real Madrid is only two points ahead of Barcelona in the case of one more round, and there is still a lot of suspense about who can win the league championship in the end.

If the Premier League is a group of champions, La Liga is a two-man competition, then the Bundesliga and Serie A are still dominant; With four games remaining, Bayern Munich are as many as 10 points ahead of second-placed Hornet Borussia Dortmund, and if Bayern can beat visiting Hertha Berlin at home in their next game, they will be able to secure the Bundesliga 1617 title three rounds in advance.

On the other hand, in Serie A, although the suspense of Juventus finally winning the championship is not large, the competition for next season's Champions League qualification is extremely fierce, especially the "recovery" of Milan has become the biggest attraction of this season's Serie A; The top three teams in La Liga qualify directly for the Champions League, with Juventus and Roma already having two of the spots secured, so Inter Milan, AC Milan and Napoli will be in a fiery battle for the last Champions League spot.

Finally, there is the French Ligue 1, which used to be known as the "five major leagues", and the competition between Grand Paris and the "upstart" Monaco is also very enjoyable to watch, but at present, Grand Paris is ahead of the latter, so the championship suspense is not as big as it seems, because in Ligue 1, there are really not many teams that can make Grand Paris fall behind.

After watching the five major leagues, we turned our attention to the European competition; After the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the Premier League team Manchester City eliminated the Serie A hegemon Juventus under the leadership of Guardiola, and Barcelona, which has the "cosmic" forward combination MSN, unexpectedly fell under the guns of the "bumblebee" Dortmund, and Reus scored a goal at home and away to become the absolute hero of Barcelona eliminated! The other two places in the last four of the Champions League are Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, who eliminated the mighty Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid.

In the Europa League, the "Red Devils" Manchester United team also broke into the final four as they wished, and they competed for the championship trophy with the "Europa League King" Sevilla team, the Scottish Premier League champion Celtic and the Bundesliga powerhouse Bayer Leverkusen.

After the UEFA draw, the final Champions League semi-final matchups were Dortmund vs. Real Madrid, Manchester City vs. Paris Saint-Germain; In the Europa League, Manchester United met La Liga side Sevilla and Bayer Leverkusen faced Celtic.

Both the cup and the league have entered the most critical moment in April, and with the gradual arrival of the end of the season, various clubs have begun to report from time to time some target candidates for next season, such as Barcelona has taken a fancy to the Italian player Verratti in Paris, Real Madrid has an eye on Bayern Munich's star Lewandowski, Chelsea covets Tottenham Hotspur's England's popular fried chicken Harry Kane, and Manchester United is also particularly interested in Kane's teammate De La Ali.

Nan Xiao's team Sunderland has also become the target of many giants with its excellent performance this season, among which the Brazilian youngster under the age of 20 has also become the target of many giants, among which Bayern Munich even made an offer of up to 70 million euros for him, but Nan Xiao's attitude in the face of these offers is still very clear, that is, Carlos is not for sale of the team!
