In midweek when Liverpool were preparing for the upcoming Champions League semi-finals with a relaxed mindset, UEFA completed the draw for the semi-finals.
Liverpool's opponent in the semi-finals revealed: Bayern Munich!
The other two teams face up against Inter Milan from Italy and Lyon from France.
At this stage, Liverpool almost didn't care who was drawn in the draw.
Real Madrid and Barcelona have both been eliminated, and who else in European football can match their reputation?
It can only be said that among the three opponents, Liverpool did not draw Lyon, even if the luck was not the best.
On April 17, the penultimate round of the Premier League began.
The highlight of the game was played in Manchester, with Roberto Mancini and Alex Ferguson playing for the first time in England.
The Manchester derby is passionately staged, and although Manchester United has no hope of winning the title, Manchester City still has a theoretical chance to compete with Arsenal and Tottenham for a place in the top four Champions League.
So when Manchester City were aggressively fighting for victory, Alex Ferguson taught Mancini a lesson, and Manchester United won the local derby 1-0 away, completely deniing Manchester City a place in next season's Champions League.
On April 18, Chelsea also ushered in the same city derby, from west London to north London to visit White Hart Lane, Redknapp's Tottenham has been criticized for its soft ability to fight hard, and the BIG4 group basically handed over its knees, but in today's game, Chelsea only theoretically has the possibility of competing with Liverpool for the title, but it is still desperate to let go, and was finally defeated by Tottenham 2:1 at home.
After Chelsea lost the game, the suspense in the Premier League came to an end.
Liverpool's game is the final game of the round, on April 20. Anfield was packed. Qin Xiong. Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Alonso and Carragher sat side by side in the stands, dressed casually and often chatting with each other.
Liverpool host London side Fulham.
Koeman fielded plenty of substitutions to cope with this game.
With Chelsea's defeat in this round, Liverpool can be said to have no pressure, and Fulham has no desire. The two teams played a slightly bland and occasionally passionate game at Anfield, which ended in a 0-0 draw.
At the end of the game, the Anfield fans cheered enthusiastically.
There were even many die-hard fans in the stands in tears, choking up and singing "You will never walk alone" with their companions!
Just today, at this moment, when Liverpool drew with Fulham, Liverpool have 10 points ahead of Chelsea and Manchester United, and there are three rounds left in the league, which means that Liverpool has been crowned the Premier League champion three rounds in advance!
Qin Xiong and his teammates stood up and embraced, and Gerard and Carragher were touched by the shocking scene of the scene.
No Reds fans left the stadium. Everyone held their scarves alof, and the song "You Never Walk Alone" seemed to be able to spread all over the world!
Gerald turned around and hugged Qin Xiong. The tone suppressed the excitement in his ear and said: "Thank you, thank you, you don't have to say anything, I'm just excited, you won't understand how long Liverpool have been waiting for this title"
Qin Xiong saw the tears in his eyes when he was separated from Gerald.
Yes, Qin Xiong will not understand.
He has never lacked championships, and since the season of his debut, he has landed in the top European league with the halo of the Triple Crown on his head!
And Liverpool have been away from the English top flight for 20 years!
The fans in the stands were unable to contain their emotions in the end, and when Qin Xiong, Gerrard, Carragher, Torres and Alonso walked onto the pitch to celebrate with their team-mates, the fans in the Anfield stands poured into the stadium.
Reds fans ran wildly in the stadium, everyone hugged each other to celebrate, ran to the camera to show the world the Reds badge, came to the players to hug the players, kissed the players, and told reverence, worship, gratitude and other emotions.
Qin Xiong was always surrounded by fans, both male and female, hugging him and kissing him one after another.
Everyone was telling about his contributions, praising his greatness and claiming that he had become a legend of the Red Army.
Perhaps, Qin Xiong didn't think that the legend was such an easy achievement.
It was like a parade at Anfield that wasn't chaotic, and the Reds fans didn't make a fuss and didn't let the chaos happen.
But the fans, who were getting more and more excited, finally made a move that surprised Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong's clothes didn't know who was starting to take them off, he was like a beautiful woman who had fallen into a wolf's den and was picked off his clothes.
It didn't take long for him to have only one pair of underwear left on him.
It wasn't until this time that a coach came over to help with the siege.
From the joy of winning the championship to the frenzy of celebration, the Reds fans looked at Qin Xiong and let out a scream, it was like disbelief after touching an idol.
Qin Xiong reluctantly walked into the players' tunnel under the escort of the coach.
He went to the dressing room to change into a jersey, and his casual clothes were long gone.
With the Champions League semi-finals to be played next week, the Liverpool players did not celebrate after winning the league.
The aftermath of Anfield's aftermath on this day has become a rare madness in the Premier League in nearly two decades.
The scene where Qin Xiong was stripped down to only his underwear has also become a classic picture of his career.
Ahead of Liverpool's trip to Munich, Fleet Street was heavily involved in Liverpool's achievement of winning their first Premier League title and their first top-flight title in two decades.
Howard, the Times' chief sports columnist, wrote: "Liverpool are on track after a management change last summer, and the two apprentices of Koeman and Qin Xiong who joined the Reds six years ago have been the catalyst for Liverpool's success! The strong and united Red Army returns to the throne of England! Congratulations to Liverpool and waiting for England again after 20 years! ”
The Guardian's report is exaggerated.
"Qin Xiong symbolizes the champion! He won the treble in his first season of career, won the league title in his first season with Arsenal and Real Madrid, and in his first season at Liverpool, he helped Liverpool fulfill his dream of 20 years. The best signing in the Premier League this season is undoubtedly Qin Xiong, and the best player in the Premier League this season is undoubtedly Qin Xiong, and the best player in the Liverpool team is still Qin Xiong! There is reason to believe that when Arsenal and Real Madrid are in remorse, Liverpool should cherish what they have now. I firmly believe that Qin Xiong will bring more titles to Liverpool! He is a true champion reaper! ”
Liverpool's local newspaper The Echo reported on Liverpool's triumph very simply, seemingly not wanting this sensitive moment to affect Liverpool's morale before the Champions League semi-finals.
"Liverpool's return to the throne, the sword is on Europe, and the dynasty is restored?" (To be continued.) )
