Premier League 2024/25

Everyone has the right to an opinion, but not everyone can be right.

Logically. Freedom of speech, which we all stand for, has led to the fact that on various topics, various people, regardless of whether they are in the subject, say or write what they want.

Maltene without responsibility.

It’s not that we’re rejoicing, it’s rather that we’re pointing out the lack of patience, because many were distrustful last year at this time when the news was announced that Jurgen Klopp was leaving Liverpool after almost nine seasons and that Arne Slott was coming to replace him.

“I think it’s a failure, but we’ll see”.

It was the most popular comment about Liverpool 12 months ago. Even some Scousers shook their heads, bearing in mind the legacy of the German, considering that it was too big a leap for Slot to come from Feyenoord to Anfield.

It was even predicted that he would need more years to build the team he wanted and restore the glory to the English giant.

Then Arne Slot pressed the “fast forward” button and, faster than expected, allowed the fans to see what they hadn’t for 35 years!

We know, it was 2020 when the Reds celebrated the Premier League title, however, in the corona conditions, the presence of spectators was not allowed, while this season the streets on the approach to Anfield trembled, and the stands of the iconic stadium shook with happiness, joy and joy, as Liverpool secured the title against Tottenham (5:1).

A total of 20 championships in English football, thus levelling with Manchester United on the list of the most successful clubs there.

In duels with Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham, which were considered teams from the TOP six for years, Liverpool does not know defeat.

And he doesn’t know because he exceeded expectations, learning to compete, while showing efficient, open, and interesting football.

That was without reinforcements because this year, he only invested 12,000,000 euros to sign Federico Chiesa from Juventus, and the Italians didn’t show why he was brought in.

He gave another 30,000,000 for Giorgi Mamardashvili, given that he left the Georgian international on loan in Valencia, and we will see how the great goalkeeper will prove when he arrives in England.

Drama until the last minute!

We did not expect anything less than the ‘best league’ in the world. The question of the champion was decided a long time ago, but European tickets were distributed.

After an exciting, somewhat unexpected outcome, the 38th round gave three more English representatives in the Shampoo League. The cream of European football, in addition to this year’s undisputed Liverpool and its first runner-up Arsenal, will be Manchester City, Chelsea, and, as the last on the ‘wagon’, Newcastle.

And that despite the defeat!

Although he disappointed in front of his fans against Everton (0:1), Eddie Howe’s team will play in the elite European competition for the second time in the last three seasons, all thanks to Manchester United.

Injured, written off long ago, and psychologically devastated, Manchester United, who in the last round against Aston Villa, when they didn’t need anything at all, played one of the best games under the leadership of Ruben Amorim and sent the Birmingham club to the Europa League – 2:0 (0:0).

Emery slipped between the lines that his team didn’t even deserve to win.

Captain John McGinn was much more direct, but despite that, it hurts. It can’t leave a mark, make you feel damaged, especially when the stakes are what they are. On Sunday at Old Trafford, Aston Villa was left without a place in the Champions League, and all the benefits that participation in it brings are primarily financial.

All this, in large part, was due to a referee’s error.

The black series of results during April and early May indicated that Nottingham Forest would not have the strength to properly fight for a place in the Champions League, and this was confirmed in the deciding game against direct competitor Chelsea at the City Ground.

A victory would have guaranteed Nuna Espirito Santo’s team participation in the elite competition, but the London Blues did not give them a glimmer of hope.

The team of Enco Maresca managed to control the events on the field during the whole match, and then in the 50th minute, they achieved a well-deserved triumph, which secured them a place in fourth place in the Premier League – 1:0 (0:0).

The position above was placed by Manchester City, which, despite all the problems during the season, in the end managed to achieve some kind of continuity of results, so the fight for placement in the elite competition was not so dramatic from the point of view of Josep Guardiola’s team.

The citizens routinely put an end to Craven Cottage, and once again, Gundogan shone in the last match of the season, 2:0 (1:0).

Newcomers to the league, Southampton, Leicester, and Ipswich Town, were already relegated to the Championship earlier, and failed to make the fight for survival interesting until the end.
