This season's Premier League can really be described as a few laughs and a few sorrows.

The Blues are back in the title, Tottenham are out of contention, the Red Devils have a failed revival, and Liverpool are back in the Champions League......

In addition to these, the biggest attraction of the final round was the battle for fourth place between Arsenal and Liverpool.

In the final round of the league, Arsenal were two points behind Liverpool and four on goal difference.

In other words, if Arsenal wants to keep the fourth, they will not only have to beat their opponents, but also pray that Liverpool loses.

The game was played at the same time, and Arsenal fought hard in this game, even after the team was sent off for less than 20 minutes, the Gunners were still stubbornly attacking.

After a hard-fought battle, Arsenal defeated Everton 3-1 at home and got the three points that were indispensable in the playbook.

But Arsenal's expectations were quickly dashed and the score of the other game was not long in coming.

Liverpool comfortably beat Middlesbrough 3-0 at home to snuff out Arsenal's last hope.

After the game, many Arsenal fans were reluctant to leave the stadium for a long time, singing the team song over and over again and standing with the team.

Arsene Wenger walked slowly onto the pitch to comfort the crying players.

Arsenal have been very good this season, and they ended up with a high score of 74 points, which is enough for them to qualify for the Champions League in previous years.

However, this year they were a little less lucky, unfortunately not being able to continue the tradition of reaching the Champions League every year.

Wenger would like to say sorry for this, one will be incompetent, and the three armies will be exhausted.

He felt that he was dragging the team down, so he chose to leave after the end of the season.

Hopefully, after his departure, the club's top management will find a suitable successor!

……

The end of the league is also a relief for Manchester City.

I can finally get rid of the disadvantage of multi-front warfare!

Their league results this season are the lowest in nearly four years, and they finish third, which is a bit embarrassing for Manchester City, who are used to winning titles.

However, if you want to win the Premier League, which is becoming more and more fierce, I am afraid it will not be an easy thing from now on.

Especially for a team like Manchester City, which needs to work on multiple fronts at the same time, it is a huge challenge.

This season, Manchester City's results have fluctuated due to personnel changes, and both the league and the Champions League have been affected.

They lost the league title and failed to top the Champions League group stage.

Fortunately, the subsequent matches were relatively smooth, and they easily beat Monaco in the quarterfinals.

In the quarter-finals, Dortmund was beaten twice!

Although the semi-finals did not draw the most desired opponent, they drew Juventus, a bad and not bad opponent, and finally did not add extra difficulty to them.

At least compared to the other giants who advanced to the semi-finals, Manchester City's road to promotion is relatively smooth.

Real Madrid was favored by everyone, and was kicked 2:1 by ten-man Bayern at home in the second leg, and was almost overturned at home.

Fortunately, in the extra time stage, with Ronaldo's brace, Real Madrid advanced to the semi-finals without danger.

As for Atletico Madrid, the outside world was originally optimistic that they would continue to keep clean sheets against their opponents, but they never wanted to be almost overturned by Leicester City at the King Power Stadium at Atletico Madrid.

Although Atletico still won in the end, Leicester City is only 12th in the Premier League, and such a team is not a strong team.

It was so difficult to win against Leicester City, it was difficult for the outside world to expect too much from Atletico.

So for Real Madrid, which drew Atletico Madrid in the semifinals, the outside world thinks that Real Madrid is being escorted to the final.

Considering that Real Madrid has gone further this season, Manchester City's strength has decreased.

Once Real Madrid do make it to the final, it will be their most promising year!

On May 3, the first leg of the Champions League semifinals began.

Real Madrid sat at home and beat Atletico Madrid 3-0 with Ronaldo's hat trick.

As expected, Atletico Madrid could hardly pose any threat to Real Madrid.

This score basically sentenced Atletico to death, and it also means that Real Madrid has advanced to the final.

Compared with the strong and weak games in the first half, the games in the second half are much more anxious than the outside world expected.

In the first leg, Manchester City won at home, but the score was not good.

They have only one goal difference and have also given their opponents two away goals.

In the era when away goals had not been cancelled, the score of 3:2 was even a victory for the away team to some extent.

Juventus were very happy with the scoreline, although in terms of the scoreline, they didn't lose much.

But in reality, Juventus played a very ugly game on the pitch, with only 33% possession and a measly few shots on goal, just five shots on goal.

But Juventus have had very good luck, or rather their striker Gonzalo Higuain is in very good form.

In this game, Higuain scored two goals with three shots, and the efficiency was amazing!

And it was Juventus' right wing-back Alves who provided two assists for him.

Although Alves is old, after leaving Barcelona, he proved with practical actions that he is still one of the best right-backs on the planet!

Compared with Juventus, Manchester City is naturally a hundred dissatisfied with this score.

Pep Guardiola was a rare outburst after the game, criticizing the players who did not perform well in this game.

It's no wonder he's angry, Manchester City have already lost the league title, and if they don't win the Champions League, the season will be empty.

The score of 3:2 is really very dangerous, it seems that there is a one-goal lead, but the opponent's two away goals are like a thorn, which makes Manchester City feel like a fish in the throat, and it is unspeakably uncomfortable.

When the opponent returns to the home stadium, he only needs an affordable 1:0 to send Manchester City home!

And judging from the goal efficiency of the opposing strikers in this game, it is not difficult for Juventus to score at home.

So, the situation is already very unfavorable for Manchester City.

They didn't take advantage of their home chances and had to go away from home, which is not easy to play and they need to prepare for the worst.

……

On May 8, the Manchester City team arrived in Turin three days early to prepare for the second leg against Juventus.

Juventus fans are very 'enthusiastic' about Manchester City, and after they came, the other party quickly determined the location of their collapsed hotel, and then a group of people came in an uproar, trying all kinds of ways to fight, whether it was beating gongs and drums, or setting off fireworks.

In short, it is desperate to make noise and not let the Manchester City players have a good rest.

Although the team had anticipated and prepared for this situation before coming, even so, the team's preparation work was inevitably affected.

Affected by this, the morale of the whole Manchester City team is a little low.

Compared to Manchester City, Juventus's side can be called highly morale.

It's been 15 years since they last reached the Champions League final, and it's been 21 years since Juventus last lifted the Big Ears Cup!

The whole Juventus team is extremely eager to step on the stage of the final again and lift the Big Ears Cup again!

Although, they know that it will be very, very difficult to reach this goal!

But they have climbed mountain after mountain, overcome obstacle after obstacle, and are now only two steps away from this final goal!

With just two wins, Juventus can get their wish!

And these two games, for Juventus, happen to be the two most difficult of all their games in the whole year!

They have to beat Manchester City and then Real Madrid to realize this dream!

Is it difficult?

Of course, it's difficult, in the entire football world, there are not many teams that dare to beat Manchester City and Real Madrid!

Winning one might be a fluke, but beating two of football's top teams in a row is not a fluke.

Juventus need to give it their all, be in the best form, and give it their all to be possible!

10 May 2017, 19:45, Juventus Stadium.

The game kicked off with the deafening cheers of fans on both sides!

At the beginning of the game, the two sides launched a fierce strangulation battle with bayonets on the field.

Those who win the midfielder win the world, this is the experience summed up by countless people.

Therefore, the battle between the two sides around the midfield was particularly fierce and even tragic.

In the 10th minute of the first half, there was the first incident of injury and attrition on the field.

In a battle with Manchester City's midfielder, Khedira went down injured and was forced to be substituted after being checked by the team doctor and confirmed that he could not hold on.

Khedira's downfall was a blow to Juventus.

The Germans are a key part of Juventus' midfield.

Although he is not the kind of defensive iron gate, he has a high work commitment, a large range of running, and is very daring to fight, with him on the field, the players feel much more at ease psychologically, and often can play at a better level.

That's why Khedira has been able to establish himself at Real Madrid and Juventus, a man who at first glance may seem like a flaw in every way, but in reality, he is very important to the team.

Therefore, his absence has greatly weakened Juventus' midfield intensity!

Without Khedira's cover, Pjanic, Alves and others played very uncomfortable, and even Dybala had to reduce his offensive investment and devote more energy to defense.

Although Juventus' midfield has fallen into a disadvantage for the time being, their strikers have exploded.

Mandzukic, who has been away from Bayern for several years, has not forgiven Guardiola until now.

Every time he meets Pep Guardiola and his team on the field, Mandzukic is as excited as if he had been beaten with blood.

He just wants to prove himself and slap Guardiola in the face so that the world knows that it's not that he Mandzukic can't do it, but that Guardiola has no eyes.

When Juventus encountered Manchester City in the first few times, because of the big difference in strength between the two sides, Mandzukic returned home many times and failed to complete revenge.

But today, at Juventus' home stadium, they may be the weakest Manchester City team in the past three years, while Juventus, on the other hand, after a long run-in, their strength has steadily improved, and the gap between the two sides at this time has reached the smallest level in the past few years.

So, this game, it's a great opportunity for Mandzukic!

He also lived up to the expectations of the fans, and in the 33rd minute of the first half, he seized the opportunity to break the deadlock on the field with his best header and rewrite the score to 1:0!

It was a crucial goal as it turned the aggregate score into a draw, and Juventus had already taken the initiative to advance due to the presence of two away goals.

If Manchester City can't get back on the scoresheet, then Juventus will be able to fulfill their dream of reaching the final!

"Juventus has something, it looks like the score in the last game is really not an accident!"

"Birds, although the statistics are ugly, but two goals at Manchester City's home stadium is enough to show their ability!"

"Could it be that this season's Champions League final will face off against Real Madrid and Juventus?"

"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly, this game is not over yet, you have to have some confidence in Manchester City, besides, even if you don't believe in Manchester City, you have to believe in Lin Huang!"

"That's it, Real Madrid has such a big advantage, isn't it still a thrilling promotion in the end? Don't underestimate these top teams, no one can predict the outcome until the last minute. ”

On the Internet, the fans of the two teams are hotly discussed, in addition to being interested in the result of this game, they are also concerned about whether there will be another upset.

In this season's Champions League, many giants who were favored before the game unexpectedly overturned, such as Barcelona, which beat Manchester City to win the first place in the group.

Many people think that Barcelona is the favorite to win the Champions League this season because of the big win over Manchester City at home.

As a result, I didn't expect to be ruthlessly eliminated by Grand Paris before I even made it past the quarterfinals.

The 4-0 victory over Barcelona at home, and finally prevented Barcelona from staging a miracle comeback and breaking into the quarterfinals.

The result?

Encountering Juventus being eliminated at the speed of light, and the score is huge, it seems that the difference in strength is obvious.

Football matches are full of chances, even if they are top giants, even if the team is expensive, it is also possible to overturn.

What's more, which team can break into the semi-finals of the Champions League is a weak team?

Even if there is a gap in the strength of the two sides in the semi-finals, the gap will not be too big.

After Juventus scored the first goal, the situation was indeed moving in their favour.

But that doesn't mean Juventus are really on the safe side.

After Khedira went off, Juventus' midfield problems began to be exposed, and Manchester City's advantage in midfield was gradually expanding.

Those who win the midfielders win the world, and when City's advantage accumulates to a certain extent, their attack is already somewhat unstoppable.

In the final stages of the first half, Juventus were already passive on the pitch, and Manchester City continued to threaten in a short period of time, leaving Juventus in front of goal.

If it weren't for the outstanding performance of the teenager Buffon and the resolution of the crisis one by one, the score might have been equalized.

But, Juventus' good fortune runs out!
