Chapter 674: The Premier League Ends
Chapter 674 The Premier League ends
When Yin Jun created an own goal and locked the score at 3:0, Old Trafford Stadium became a sea of joy. Red Devils fans sang and danced to celebrate the team's victory in the Premier League again. Although it was nearly half an hour before the end of the game, Manchester United fans knew that the league championship was no longer Manchester United, and no one could win the team's championship.
When the referee finished the three-minute injury time and blew the three whistles at the end of the game, the cheers at Old Trafford Stadium really reached its peak, and the huge stadium was boiling.
Although winning the league championship is not a rare thing for Manchester United players, who would dislike the number of championships?
The happiest thing is Giggs. The Welsh veteran laughed, raised his hands high, and spread his fingers as if he was announcing to the world: I have ten Premier League champions!
Yes, this is the tenth Premier League championship that Giggs won in his career and the tenth Premier League championship that Manchester United won. Giggs participated in these ten championships and was considered the team's main player.
At the same time, this is also the 17th top league champion in Manchester United's history. They are only one left to their arch rival Liverpool's top league champions!
Ferguson was also very excited. He was very close to what he promised to pull Liverpool off the throne of England!
At present, Manchester United has a total of 37 major championships (not single-game final champions). Among them, 17 top league champions in England, 4 UEFA Champions League, 1 European Winner Cup, 11 FA Cup, and 4 League Cups. Liverpool has 38, including 18 top league champions in England, 5 UEFA Champions League, 3 League Cups, 6 FA Cups, and 6 League Cups.
As long as the team defeats the Hammers West Ham United at Cardiff Millennium Stadium 6 days later, Manchester United can tie Liverpool in the number of major competition championships. If the team defeats Barcelona at the French Stadium 10 days later, Manchester United can surpass Liverpool in the number of major competition championships!
If that's true, then Manchester United will really pull Liverpool off the throne!
Ferguson is disdainful of calculating the Community Shield (Charity Shield), Toyota Cup, and European Super Cup, because Manchester United will have long surpassed Liverpool.

After the award ceremony, the whole Manchester United team boarded the double-decker bus and carried the league championship trophy to celebrate the grand parade.
When Manchester United's entire team left Old Trafford Stadium, the curtain of the Premier League this season was brought to an end.
As Manchester United won the 10th Premier League championship in team history with a record 99 points, the Blues missed the title. In Premier League history, no other team can defend the title except Manchester United.
This is also the highest winning record in the history of the five major European leagues. The Red Devils are only 1 point away from becoming the first team in history to break through 100%.
In fact, Manchester United had hope of breaking 100 points at one time. As long as they could beat Middlesbrough in the penultimate round of the league and still beat Charlton in the last round, their points could reach 101 points!
However, Ferguson's former assistant McLaren ruined the good things of his old club. He led the team to block Manchester United at Old Trafford Stadium.
With one win and one draw against Manchester United, Middlesbrough has also become the best team against Manchester United this season.
Chelsea is very sad because they set a record of the highest points runner-up in the Premier League and the five major leagues set by Manchester United last season!
Last season, Manchester United became the first runner-up in the history of the five major leagues with 91 points. People thought that this record would last for a long time. After all, under normal circumstances, if the points reach 90 points, you can win the championship smoothly in any league. Who would have thought that in just one year, the winner of last season turned into the unfortunate, and increased the runner-up of the five major leagues to 94 points at once!
Many people think that the Blues will probably occupy this record for a long time, because it is hard to imagine that a team will score 94 points or higher but will not win the league championship!

The loss in the last round of the game and completely missed the championship, which made Mourinho very upset and angry because he felt that he was targeted by the Premier League referee.
After the game against Blackburn, Mourinho once complained that the referee awarded at least three penalty kicks to Chelsea. After the battle at St. James Park, Mourinho made the same complaint: "Babayaro should be shown a red card, and he should be sent off in any country, any level league and any game. Boomson's shoveling action should be awarded a penalty kick, and the opponent can get a penalty kick in any country, any level league and any game. An obvious penalty kick, an unquestionable red card."
The Portuguese even believes that Chelsea missed the Premier League championship and it is the referee's fault, and some people don't want to see Chelsea win the championship again!
"Everyone's idea is that Chelsea cannot win, and we cannot win more championships. As long as anyone who pays attention to the game knows, Chelsea has encountered too many misjudgments in the last two games."

Compared to Mourinho, Gunners coach Wenger was very happy after the season, because his team reversed North London's archenemy at the last minute and qualified for the Champions League next season, although they need to start from the qualifying round.
Before the final match of the Premier League, Arsenal's fate in the fourth place was not in his own hands. The opponent Tottenham was 2 points higher than the Gunners. As long as they won West Ham away, the result of Highbury's farewell day was the result of the Gunners' farewell day. No matter what, the Gunners won't get the ticket to the Champions League next season.
As a result, Tottenham itself was not good enough and lost to another London team, Hammers, West Ham United 1:2 in the game. The Arsenal seized the opportunity. With Pire's first record and Henry's second hat trick in the season, the Gunners defeated Wigan Athletic 4:2 in the curtain call at Highbury Stadium, which not only prevented the farewell ceremony at Highbury Stadium from being smashed, but also successfully grabbed the ticket to the Champions League next season.
For Arsenal, the qualifying match is just a form, just to consider it as adding two warm-up matches to the team.
Henry, who scored a hat-trick in the last round, scored 27 goals in the season. However, he still missed the Premier League Golden Boot. Although Yin Jun did not score or assist in the last round, he had too much advantage before and still won the Premier League Golden Boot and assist king this season with 33 goals and 18 assists!
