The 38th day of the Premier League offered another crazy afternoon! Manchester City won its eighth championship title! Trailing 0-2 until 15 minutes from the end, the Citizens thought that the trophy was going to escape them and go to Liverpool.
Manchester City was shaken! After an exciting fight for the Premier League title, the Mancunian club had to overturn Aston Villa in the final match (3-2) on Sunday to win the eighth English championship trophy in its history, the fourth in five years, on the 38th and final day. The title saved in the 81st minute! But how hard it was for Josep Guardiola’s players. City conceded the opening goal in the first half with a goal from Cash (37th) and returned to the locker room with only one shot on target in 45 minutes. And then the Etihad Stadium was shaking when Coutinho (69th) increased the gap for the Villans in the second half! The afternoon seemed to turn into a nightmare for the Skyblues, but Gündogan (76th, 81st) and Rodri (78th) finally offered a priceless victory to the Manchester club. For their part, Liverpool did the job by winning 3-1 against Wolverhampton. The Reds led from the 3rd minute on a goal by Neto, but won thanks to goals by Mané (24th), Salah (84th) and Robertson (89th). For a long time, when the score was 1-1, Jürgen Klopp’s players needed only one goal to be virtual champions while City was trailing. But we know what happened next, and the Mersey club ended the season one point behind Manchester City.
