[Premier League] Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle entered the Champions League, Manchester United set the worst record in team history

The last round of the Premier League this season ended in the early morning of May 26. Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle ranked third to fifth, winning the UEFA Champions League ticket, and participating in the next season with Liverpool and Arsenal, who locked in the Premier League championship and runner-up in advance, and the new UEFA Champions League champion Tottenham Hotspur. Villa ranked sixth and FA Cup champion Crystal Palace won tickets for the Europa League next season, while Nottingham Forest, ranked seventh, qualifies for the Europa League play-off next season.

For the Premier League champion Manchester City in the past four seasons, winning the Champions League ticket next season is the bottom line, defeating Bournemouth 3-1 at home last round, basically ensuring that it will not fall out of the top five. In order to avoid out-of-date troubles, Manchester City did not dare to be careless against Fulham away in this round.

Gundo Ann talked about the youthful madness, showing his key gentleman temperament in the last round of the Premier League season. In the 21st minute, Gundogan used a wonderful barb shot in the small penalty area to lead Manchester City. In the 70th minute, Gundogan won a penalty kick for Manchester City. Manchester City's first penalty kicker Haaland did not give the penalty to Marmush like he did in the FA Cup final, but took the penalty and hit a steadily. Manchester City defeated Fulham, a mid-range team that had no desires and no desires, 2-0.

Manchester City scored 93 points when they won the Premier League championship in 2021-2022, beating Liverpool with one point advantage and almost snatched the championship by Liverpool in the last round. Manchester City once trailed Villa, who was coached by former Liverpool captain Gerrard, 0-2 at home, and could not win the championship whether it was lost or tied. Manchester City finally scored three goals in a row to complete a big reversal, and Gundogan scored two goals. After three years, Gundogan has made a return after switching to Barcelona. Although the Manchester City coach Guardiola's favorite player has been questioned in many games, he has proved that he still has the energy to do in this key game. Manchester City won the third place in the Premier League this season, with only 71 points, Liverpool's championship points were 84 points, and runner-up Arsenal's score was 74 points.

Two other teams competing for the Champions League tickets, Newcastle and Villa actually lost the game at the same time in this round. Newcastle lost 0-1 to Everton at home, while Villa lost 0-2 to Manchester United away. Newcastle and Villa both scored 66 points. Newcastle ranked fifth with the advantage of goal difference. Taking the last bus to advance to the Champions League, Villa, ranked sixth, could only participate in the UEFA Cup. Famous coach Emery has led Villa to perform well in the Champions League this season, and the "Europa League King" can finally return to the arena he is best at next season.

Villa did not become the fig leaf for traditional giants Manchester United. Although the "Red Devils" defeated Villa in the last round, their 42-point scores and 15th-place rankings both hit the worst in the Premier League in team history. No. 15 is Manchester United's worst ranking in the top league in England since it dropped to England's second-tier league in 1973-1974.

After the game, Manchester United coach Amorin picked up the microphone and apologized to Manchester United's home fans: "I want to apologize to you for this season. I know you are very disappointed with me and the team. I want to thank you for your support, I know it is very difficult. Now we have to make a choice: either stay in the past or move forward together. Today, after this disastrous season, I want to tell you that good days are coming."
