One of the biggest regrets in Europe this season is that this upstart team cannot play European competition for the first time in 8 years
Every season, the end of the day, many potential regrets will emerge bit by bit. For example, Barcelona, aren’t many people expecting them to win the triple crown? But in the Champions League semi-finals, Inter Milan destroyed this dream.
Of course, it’s a bit Versailles to say that the dream of a triple crown is broken. After all, Barcelona’s domestic double crown is there. But look at Manchester City, this season, I have achieved nothing except a low-key Community Shield, which is still rare in Guardiola's coaching career. The last time Manchester City encountered this situation was in the 2016-2017 season, which was also Guardiola's first season when he came to Manchester City. how? Reincarnation?
In fact, the so-called regret, everyone's eyes are basically focused on the strong team. Do you think Southampton is regretful? Of course, regret, but who would care except their own fans? This is the ecology of European football. Manchester City lost the FA Cup championship and many people beat their chests and stamped their feet. But in fact, Manchester City's performance this season is better than 95% of the teams in Europe.
Of course, it cannot be compared like this. How much does Manchester City cost? How much does those small teams cost? This is why we always focus on strong teams. If you have money and power, you will naturally stand in the spotlight and receive more attention, and regrets will also be magnified.
There is still the last round of the Premier League. It has to be said that Manchester City is in danger of not being able to play in the Champions League. Although, this possibility is not very high. For a team of Manchester City's level, it is unimaginable that it cannot play in the Champions League. In fact, we have this feeling, and this has happened in the past seven or eight years. Manchester City made a fortune more than ten years ago under the guidance of money, but it was not until seven or eight years ago that they gradually found their presence in the Champions League and their competitiveness increased. It would be a pity if this momentum really stops next season.
However, if you take a step back, Manchester City can also play in the Europa League. At least, there are still opportunities to go abroad for business trips next season. But the biggest regret in European football this season is perhaps another team that missed the European game for the first time in eight years.
Coincidentally, the turning point of this team was also the 16-17 season, when they won the league runner-up and were able to participate in the Champions League. In the next eight years, they either played in the Champions League or the Europa League, of course, most of them were the Champions League. Maybe you said, isn’t this a normal operation for traditional strong teams?
The problem is that they are not traditional strong teams. They were founded very late and are definitely newcomers in football.
Red Bull Leipzig.
In the last round of the Bundesliga, Red Bull Leipzig lost to Stuttgart 2:3 at home, ranking seventh, and even the European Union could not score. This is also the worst ranking since they came to the Bundesliga in the 16th to 2017.
Many old fans certainly don't like Red Bull Leipzig. First of all, in terms of heritage, Red Bull Leipzig is the key target of ancient bragging. Don't look at Manchester City's success in the past decade, but Manchester City has a long history. Red Bull Leipzig is just a team with a history of more than ten years. Their appearance will definitely make old strong teams such as Bayern, Dortmund, and Leverkusen feel disgusted.
In addition, there is also the sensitive 50➞1.
But European football does need new forces to shuffle the traditional order. Since the Champions League shortlist, Red Bull Leipzig has quickly become another Bundesliga flag besides Bayern. In the past eight years, their total Champions League results have been stronger than Dortmund. Especially in the 19-20 season, they also reached the semi-finals.
This season, Red Bull Leipzig performed well in the first half, and once followed Bayern, even allowing people to see their hope of winning the championship. But in the second half, they fell behind.
Perhaps, for veteran teams such as Real Madrid, Bayern and Barcelona, playing European games for eight consecutive years is nothing, but for upstarts like Leipzig, the European game momentum that lasts for eight years is really rare. Therefore, it is so regrettable that they lost the European quota this season.
