Since Chelsea and Arsenal have also reached the Europa League final, the winner between the two will participate in next season's Champions League as the Europa League champion.

In other words, next season there will be five teams competing in the Champions League!

However, this is not the first time that five teams from the same league have competed in the Champions League. As early as the 2015-2016 season, because the Europa League champion Sevilla ranked only seventh in La Liga and did not qualify for the Champions League, in the following 2016-2017 season, five La Liga teams qualified for the Champions League.

However, Villarreal, which was ranked fourth in La Liga at the time, was eliminated by Monaco in the Champions League qualifiers, and in the end there were still only four teams participating in the Champions League.

Now, due to the adjustment of the rules, the top four teams in the Premier League and the Europa League champions will directly advance to the Champions League, so in the upcoming 2019-2020 season, there will definitely be five Premier League teams competing in the Champions League.

In another time and space, as early as two years ago in the 2017-2018 season, there were already five Premier League teams competing in the Champions League. At that time, Manchester United, which won the Europa League last season, ranked only sixth in the league and did not qualify for the Champions League next season. As the Europa League champion, it qualified for the 2017-2018 Champions League. In addition, Liverpool, the fourth place in the league, eliminated Hoffenheim in the play-offs, so it was the first time in history that five teams from the same league participated in the Champions League.

However, with Bruno's travel through time and early transfer to Manchester United, Manchester United won the Premier League championship in the 2016-2017 season. In the 2017-2018 season of this time and space, there was no situation where five Premier League teams competed in the Champions League at the same time.

However, due to the inertia of history, this grand event took place two years later.

However, since the Champions League spot brought by the Europa League champion is occupied by a Premier League team, the third place in the fifth league, which should have qualified for the Champions League, that is, Lyon, who is third in Ligue 1, will not be able to participate in the Champions League next season.

………………

Except for Chelsea or Arsenal, the top four teams in the league and the Europa League champion, who will participate in the Champions League next season, the remaining team and Wolves, who are seventh in the standings, will participate in the Europa League next season.

However, Wolves, ranked seventh, will start from the Europa League play-offs and can only participate in the Europa League finals after passing the play-offs.

Cardiff City, ranked 18th, Fulham, ranked 19th, and Huddersfield, ranked 20th, were relegated.

In the scorer list, Bruno ranked first with 36 goals in 39 league games and won the Premier League Golden Boot for three consecutive years. He is also the first player in Premier League history to score more than 30 goals for three consecutive seasons.

Bruno is not only the Premier League Golden Boot winner, he also leads the European Golden Boot race with a huge advantage of 5 goals over the second place Yosi.

In the 37th round of La Liga that has ended, although Barcelona players were very eager to assist Yosi and help him catch up with Bruno's goal-scoring pace, Yosi did not score any goals except causing an own goal by the opposing player.

In this case, if Yosi wants to catch up with Bruno, he needs to score 5 goals in the last round of the league; if he wants to overtake, he needs to score at least 6 goals.

Whether it is scoring 5 or 6 goals in a single game, it is very difficult, so the European Golden Boot Award this season is likely to still be in Bruno's pocket.

If Bruno can finally beat Yosi to win the European Golden Boot, it will be his third consecutive year of winning the European Golden Boot, and the opponent he defeated will be Yosi.

………………

The second place in the Premier League scorer list is still a Manchester United player. England striker Harry Kane has scored 34 goals in 25 Premier League games. Although the gap with Bruno is a bit big, he still occupies the second place.

In third place is Arsenal striker Aubameyang, who has scored 36 goals in 22 Premier League games.

The two players ranked fourth and fifth are both Liverpool players. Mane scored 36 goals in 22 Premier League games, ranking fifth; Salah scored 38 goals in 22 Premier League games, ranking fifth.

In other words, the players ranked third, fourth and fifth actually have the same number of goals.

Mbappe's performance is actually very good. He scored 29 goals in 19 Premier League games, ranking seventh after Aguero.

In addition, another Manchester United player who has scored more than 28 goals in the league is Rashford. The Manchester United youth player has 10 goals and 8 assists in games.

Bruno is still ranked first in the assist list. He has made a total of 26 assists in the Premier League this season, breaking the record of 23 assists in a single Premier League season that he set last season. However, there is still some gap from his record of 29 assists in a single season in the top five leagues.

Chelsea's Hazard ranked second with 15 assists.

Manchester City's De Bruyne ranked third with 12 assists.

The fourth, fifth and sixth places are all Liverpool players, with Salah, Robertson and Arnold all having 10 assists.

Among Manchester United, players with more assists include Rashford with 8 assists, Mbappe, Gundogan and Harry Kane with 7 assists, but none of them made it into the top ten in the assist list.

………………

Although the Premier League has come to an end, it is not time for Manchester United players to rest yet, because they still have two very crucial games, one is the FA Cup final against Manchester City, and the other, of course, is the Champions League final against Liverpool.

This season's FA Cup final is scheduled for the afternoon of May 5, still at the new Wembley Stadium.

This is the fourth consecutive year that Manchester United has participated in the FA Cup final, and in the previous three years, Manchester United won the final victory. If they can win the championship again this year, Manchester United will become the first team in English history to win four consecutive FA Cup titles.

This is the oldest football tournament in the history of modern football. It is actually very difficult to win. Since the birth of the 1871-1872 season, this tournament has gone through a long history of 148 years. During this period, except for the 4-year suspension during the First World War and the 6-year suspension during the Second World War, the total suspension was 10 times. This season is the 138th time.

In history, 43 teams have won the championship of this tournament, so the FA Cup is also the tournament with the most winning teams in football history.

And because there are so many winning teams, it is difficult for this event to be monopolized by one team. After all, in the previous 137 editions, the 43 teams have won the championship just over three times on average.

This is indeed the case. Even Manchester United, which has won the most FA Cup titles, had only won 14 times before this season.

Compared with other major European cup competitions, 14 championships is really not a lot, especially in the long history of more than years.
