Chapter 538: The League Champion Announced!

The second leg of the Champions League semi-finals is held at the end of April, and by the time the teams for the final of the two divisions are announced, it will be May.

May 3 is a weekend, and the 37th round of the Premier League continues, and this game is the penultimate round of the Premier League.

After a strong clash between Liverpool and Chelsea in the previous round, the lucky Blues had the last laugh as they beat title contenders Liverpool 2-0 at Stamford Bridge. After this game, everyone knows that this season's league title belongs to Manchester City.

With eight points left in the league, Liverpool must make sure that the next three minutes must be won and at least one game must be lost if they cannot win the remaining games.

It's too difficult, so if nothing happens, this season's title will be Manchester City's.

Speaking of accidents, there was indeed a huge surprise in the last round of the league. It was the first goal conceded from Liverpool, when Henderson, who was in front of him, controlled the ball and faced the pressure of the "non-famous defender" Torres, and passed the ball to the captain Gerrard who was behind!

After Gerrard unloaded the ball, he tried to turn and shake off Torres' press, but the soles of his feet slipped, his center of gravity was unstable, and he was half-kneeling. As a result, Torres seized the opportunity and rushed over to grab it. Robbed his former captain Steven Gerrard of the ball.

In the end, the aging Gerrard could no longer keep up with Torres' speed.

Facing Mignolet who had abandoned the goal, Torres fired a shot from about two yards from the edge of the penalty area! This time, the magic script of sliding through the goal and not scoring a single goal did not play out, and Tuoniu's goalmouth push broke through the goal of her old club.

Perhaps there is only providence in the dark, and the Holy Child, who once left Anfield, pushed the opponent off a cliff with a goal when Liverpool needed points the most. And the captain of the Reds, who has been waiting for Liverpool for 16 years and dedicated the best 20 years of his career to Liverpool, made a slip mistake at a critical moment to give the opponent a chance.

Looking at Torres's back after scoring the goal, the camera showed Gerrard, who was almost thirty-four years old, and his eyes were full of moisture.

Tears have nothing to do with age or maturity, only with deep love.

People say this season is Liverpool's best chance, and since the English top flight was restructured into the English Premier League, Liverpool have never won a Premier League title as a giant team in England and Europe.

Therefore, with the miraculous play of Suarez and Sturridge, this season should have belonged to Liverpool, and it was also the best retirement gift for Gerrard, the team soul who gave the best years of 20 years to Liverpool club.

When a player reaches the age of thirty-four, the most "scandal" with him is retirement, and everyone is ready for Gerrard to retire, so in people's fond memories, it should be Gerrard who helped Liverpool win the first Premier League title in history, and then retired with honor to become a club celebrity and executive.

But now people are discovering that this fond memory seems to be only imaginary

Torres clearly knew what this goal meant for Liverpool, so after the goal, Torres did not have an excited expression and celebratory movements, although he is now in a goal drought, and he has only scored so many goals in all competitions in a season, but he is really not happy about this goal.

Torres, who scored the goal, wept and bowed deeply to the visiting Liverpool fans who had come to Stamford Bridge to watch the game. Such a move made the Reds fans boo him a lot less, after all, everyone knows that he is a professional footballer and he has no choice.

Even after the game, many media outlets spoke for Torres and praised him for his professionalism.

It was an absolute blow for Liverpool as Fernando Torres scored in the 80th minute, so when they conceded the goal, they had to press the whole line. And after they press all the lines, there must be a lot of space in the backfield. In the 89th minute of the game, substitute Demba Ba took advantage of a chance for Liverpool to press all over the line and launched a counter-attack.

Chelsea are adept at counter-attacking, so Liverpool's big push is right for the Blues. Mourinho's counter-attacks are famous, so it is doomed that Liverpool, who are pressing on the attack, will not have good fruit to eat.

In the end, Demba Ba's shot blasted wide of Mignolet's goal, 2-0, sealed the win for Chelsea and kicked Liverpool off a cliff.

After the birth of this goal, both Liverpool's players and fans were like mourning and losing their souls

Liverpool was also unlucky, and the two strikers who usually don't score anything scored a goal each today

And the defeat in this game also indirectly announced the ownership of the league title this season, because Manchester City has won 3-0 against the opponent.

Liverpool still have a theoretical chance of reversing Manchester City to win the title, but of course, it is only theoretical

In the 37th round of the league, the match between Manchester City and Everton began. Everton have achieved great results this season under Spanish manager Roberto Martinez and even have a chance to challenge for fourth place in the league.

Therefore, Liverpool hopes that their rivals can pull Manchester City down at home, so that Liverpool still has a chance. The Reds' opponent in this round of the league is the promoted Crystal Palace, and the Crystal Palace, which has been relegated in advance, has no desire, so the Reds think that they still have no problem with this game, and they just wait for their leader to pull the opponent off the horse first.

Although Everton and Liverpool are blue and red colors that are incompatible with each other, it stands to reason that it is impossible for Everton to help their sworn enemies, but no one on the football field will release water for their opponents for the sake of the defeat of their sworn enemies, so Everton still tried their best in this game.

The final score was 2-3, with Everton losing to Manchester City by one goal. It was a wide-open offensive battle, and the fans on both sides looked very enjoyable, and at the end the score was suspended at 2-2, when everyone thought it was a draw, midfielder Yaya Toure stepped up and killed the game with a long-range heavy bombardment.

Liverpool's plan also came to naught in the end, their sworn enemies failed to help, but Everton did their best, this is the difference in strength, and being able to force Manchester City to a dead end 2-3 also shows that Everton is already very tough.

And after this game, there is no suspense about the ownership of the Premier League title. Now that 37 rounds of league games have ended, Manchester City, who have reached 84 minutes, have won the league title one round earlier, and it has nothing to do with them whether Liverpool win their remaining two games or whatever.

This is the second league title won by Manchester City in the last three years, in 2011-2012 and 2013-2014 this season, with the 2012-2013 title in the middle going to their city rivals Manchester United.

In this way, for the third year in a row, the Premier League trophy has been spent in the industrialised city of Manchester.

Perhaps influenced by Manchester City's win, Liverpool looked listless from the start, and finally led 2-0 by Crystal Palace at the end of the first half, which made them criticized by many commentators and guests at half-time.

At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool was like a different team, fighting to catch up, and finally in the 60 minutes of the whole game, the Reds worked together to equalize the score, 2-2!

But the excitement of the equaliser didn't last long, as another goal was scored by Crystal Palace in the 70th minute. The crowd at Shechhurst Park was in complete jeopardy, singing songs sarcastically about Liverpool's loss of the title, especially Steven Gerrard, who made a fatal mistake against Chelsea.

Maybe it was stimulated by the Crystal Palace fans, or maybe it was knowing that there was no hope of winning the title this season, so they played with the spirit of enjoying the game and enjoying the football itself.

Anyway, it wasn't long before Sturridge's dribbling outside the box was brought down and the referee awarded a direct free-kick.

Suarez, who scored twice, and Gerrard, the team's No. 1 penalty taker from a free-kick, stood in front of the ball, and many thought that Gerrard would give the ball to Suarez to help his team-mates complete the hat-trick. After all, in the previous game, Gerrard had given most of his free-kicks and even penalties to his team-mates, but Suarez had a fake run.

In the end, Gerrard's curling ball went around the wall and into the corner of the net, and the Palace goalkeeper looked like a furnishing in front of the clean free-kick.

In the end, the game ended with the two sides 3-3, presenting a wonderful game. The Liverpool players who got a point were not very emotional, and soon after the game left London with their heads bowed and returned to Liverpool.

Liverpool has just finished the game, Manchester City won the Premier League title in the first round of the news is already flying, although Pellegniri did not lead Manchester City to complete the breakthrough in the Champions League, but the first season in charge brought a League Cup and a Premier League title, still made Manchester City fans and management full of confidence in him.

Manchester City is out of the limelight, but Liverpool are not without gains, their leading scorer Suarez has scored twice in this round, and the number of goals in the scorer list has reached 30, only one goal away from the first Li Zihan.
