Four Premier League games have become the focus, Manchester City, Newcastle and Chelsea have a chance to enter the Champions League

Football

The 38th round of the Premier League ended, with 10 games scheduled to be held at 11 pm at the same time, and four games involving UEFA Champions League qualification became the focus. Manchester City, Newcastle and Chelsea are the biggest favorites, and the situation is quite optimistic. As long as you win, you can enter the Champions League, and even if you lose, there is still a chance.

In the just-concluded Europa League final, Tottenham defeated Manchester United with one goal, similar to Barcelona, ​​defeating their opponents four times in a single season, three of which were led by Amorin. Captain Son Heung-min shed tears of heroes after the game. Like Kane, both won the championship honors. This is the first time Tottenham has won the trophy since the 2008 League Cup.

In addition to Tottenham, Newcastle won the championship trophy again after 70 years, and Crystal Palace won the first top event championship in team history. In addition to teams such as Bologna in Italy and the Progress Eagles in the Netherlands, this season can be said to be a "breaking wasteland". Of course, Kane and Son Heung-min are the most worthy of attention among the players who break the desolate. I wonder if Paris Saint-Germain can also defeat Inter Milan in the Champions League final and join the "breaking desolate" member? After Tottenham won the championship, it became the third Premier League team to qualify for the Champions League next season, after Liverpool and Arsenal. This season, there are 6 UEFA Champions League places in the Premier League, and the last three will be determined by the league rankings, which belong to the third to fifth place in the Premier League.

Currently, Manchester City has 68 points, ranking third, Newcastle, Chelsea and Aston Villa have 66 points, ranking fourth to sixth in terms of goal difference, and Nottingham Forest, seventh, has 65 points. There will be three teams for these 5 teams to participate in the Champions League.

Among them, Manchester City and Aston Villa, both went away to challenge Fulham and Manchester United, respectively, Newcastle faced Everton at home, and Chelsea faced Nottingham Forest away away, which is the only direct confrontation, which can be called the "life-and-death battle" of the Champions League.

Because Manchester City, Newcastle and Chelsea have a great goal difference advantage, these three teams can actually complete the Champions League qualification task as long as they score 69 points. Manchester City faced Fulham in the last round, a draw was enough to advance to the Champions League, and Newcastle and Chelsea won, both of which could achieve their goals.

Even if you lose, the three teams still have the chance to participate in the Champions League. If Manchester City loses, as long as Newcastle, Chelsea and Aston Villa, one team cannot win, and Manchester City can also qualify for the Champions League. If Newcastle loses, as long as Aston Villa loses at the same time, Newcastle can also enter the Champions League. Chelsea is a bit more complicated. If you lose, Newcastle and Aston Villa need to lose at the same time, and Newcastle loses three more goals than Chelsea in order to participate in the Champions League. The two teams ranked low, Nottingham Forest, which had been restless before, now wants to participate in the Champions League, has become quite harsh. Not only will it defeat Chelsea, but Newcastle and Aston Villa cannot win at the same time. Both conditions are indispensable.

Aston Villa is relatively slightly better, and there are two situations where they get a UEFA Champions League place. One is Villa defeating Manchester United in the last round, while Manchester City lost, Newcastle's defeat and Chelsea's unwind. At least one of these three conditions must be met. The other is Villa draw, and Newcastle lost.

It is not difficult to see that Manchester City, Newcastle and Chelsea have the initiative to participate in the Champions League, but for Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest, even if they win in the last round, they may not be able to participate in the Champions League. Moreover, Villa cannot lose, and Forest must win to have the chance to advance to the Champions League. In four matches involving UEFA Champions League qualification, the match between Chelsea and Nottingham Forest is very cruel. If a draw occurs, both teams have a chance to lose the UEFA Champions League qualification at the same time. Don’t forget that three days later, Chelsea will compete with Real Betis for the European Championship. As for Manchester United, who missed the European championship, what kind of mentality will it use to usher in the last game of the season at Old Trafford, it is also very interesting.

Who will wait and see who will fall for the last three Champions League seats!
