Manchester United loses, advances to the Champions League, Anthony is powerless to recover

The 36th round of La Liga was all over, the championship suspense was unraveled two rounds ahead of schedule, Barcelona won the championship, and Real Madrid could only wait until the coach left. At the same time, Manchester United's defeated players also qualified for the Champions League in advance. Anthony, who performed well, was unable to make the best of it, and it was difficult to help the team enter the Champions League. It seems to prove that strength is the bottom line.

The La Liga venue this season is not static. Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, all three teams once occupied the lead, and Barcelona fell to third place at one time. However, even the famous coach Ancelotti is difficult to resolve the contradiction caused by Mbappe's arrival. Real Madrid not only bumped into the Champions League group stage and was quickly eliminated by Arsenal, but was also defeated by Barcelona four times in a single season, with only one InterContinental Cup champion to comfort him.

After defeating Real Madrid by "two and four" last week, Barcelona took advantage of the victory and did not let the accident happen. After easily defeating Espanyol with two goals, they successfully won the La Liga championship. Pedri, who is only 22 years old, also ushered in the 200th game in this game. According to statistics, he missed a game for only one game due to gastroenteritis throughout the season, and made a total of 57 appearances for Barcelona, ​​with a net worth of over 100 million yuan. He is a rising star.

Among the top ten popular Ballon d'Or, Barcelona has three players, Yamal, Rafinia and Pedri, while Real Madrid has not been selected. Yamal is less than 18 years old and Pedri is only 22 years old. In contrast, frontcourt players such as Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrigo have put Real Madrid in helplessness and chaos, and Ancelotti has to withdraw. I believe that in the next few years, Barcelona will have more optimistic prospects than Real Madrid.

In the past two weeks, Bilbao has lost three goals to Manchester United at home and away, and was eliminated 1-7 in the total score, which surprised the outside world. Especially at home, Bilbao only lost 1 of his 18 league games. The crushing defeat to Manchester United is really an unpopular, and the appearance of red cards is difficult to be an excuse.

Being shamed and brave, Bilbao just beat Getafe two goals away, and his points rose to 67 points. With the remaining two games, he scored 8 points more than Real Betis, who ranked sixth, and has already secured a seat in the Champions League two rounds ahead of schedule. Manchester United's defeated players, with their outstanding performance in the league, firmly grasped the ticket to the top European stage. I wonder if there is still a chance to meet Manchester United in the Champions League next season.

So far, only Liverpool has secured the quota in the Premier League, including Napoli, Inter Milan and Atlanta in Serie A, Bayern Munich and Leverkusen in Bundesliga, Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille and Monaco in Ligue 1, and Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Bilbao in La Liga. A total of 13 teams in the five major leagues have qualified for the Champions League in advance. Anthony, who came to Real Betis in the winter transfer window, has always performed well, but it has just drew with Vallecano away, which is basically difficult to help the team qualify for the Champions League next season. At present, Betis has only 59 points, down by as many as 5 points. As long as his opponent wins one in the last two games, Betis will miss the Champions League.

According to statistics, after Anthony came to Real Betis, he played 23 times, scored a total of 8 goals and 5 assists. In the past two and a half seasons, he has only 12 goals and 5 assists at Manchester United. The comparison between the two sets of data is very strong. The biggest difference is that Anthony's confidence has completely recovered and he dared to perform on the court. Even the highly criticized "right foot" can score.

If the tree is moved to death, the person is moved to life, and if the environment is changed, everything may be different. I believe Anthony is not willing to stay in the painful Premier League anymore. He is so happy in La Liga. I don’t know how good it should be. It is reported that Real Betis may not have much money to leave behind the Brazilian winger, Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, and even Juventus, all have intentions to contact. The question is how much Manchester United want to "lose" and let Anthony go.

Although it is difficult to participate in the Champions League, in the UEFA League final, Real Betis will meet Chelsea in the Premier League, and there will always be one of the two Manchester United "Frustrated Leagues" who will return proudly. What’s even more interesting is, if Manchester United and Real Betis win the championship at the same time, can Anthony get two medals?

Anthony has certain strength, and Bilbao is also strong. Manchester United, whose strength has declined, can only hope for the UEFA Cup championship. If they cannot win the championship, they will miss the European arena next season. Some stories are always fantastic, and some people become unexpected.
