CChampions League finalists Liverpool FC may have made a crucial mistake in the Premier League title race. The team of German team manager Jürgen Klopp did not get better than 1-1 (0-0) against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday evening – Manchester City can thus pull three games before the end of the season to a three-point lead.
Spurs striker Heung-Min Son (59th minute) tore the Reds fans out of their Champions League dreams four days after reaching the final. Luis Diaz (74th) still managed to equalize, for the time being Liverpool is the leader with the same number of points. Man City, who failed spectacularly to Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the premier class, will welcome Newcastle United on Sunday (5:30 p.m. on Sky).
Chelsea got a little out of step in the last few meters of the season. The English club coached by Thomas Tuchel did not get past Wolverhampton Wanderers after a two-goal lead of 2: 2 (0: 0) and after three games in a row without a win they still do not qualify for the Champions League Pocket.
Manchester United, on the other hand, has gambled away its last mathematical chance for the premier class. Ralf Rangnick’s team went under at Brighton & Hove Albion 0: 4 (0: 1) and can at best still qualify for the Europa League. Rangnick, who will be in charge of the Austrian national team in the future, has won just 11 of his 28 games as a United manager.
Watford FC is the second relegated club after Norwich City. The former club of pop icon Elton John can no longer reach the saving bank after the 0: 1 (0: 1) at Crystal Palace with three games left.
Romelu Lukaku (56th / penalty kick, 58th) had put Chelsea, who are still third in the table, in front. Trincao (79′) and Conor Coady (90’+7′) spoiled what was actually a very positive Saturday for the Blues, where Timo Werner and Antonio Rüdiger were in the starting XI and Kai Havertz came on as a substitute.
Subject to the approval of the Premier League and the British government, the big club from London will go to an investor group led by the American entrepreneur Todd Boehly for 4.25 billion pounds (around five billion euros), who watched the game against Wolverhampton in the stadium. Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich had his assets frozen in the wake of Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine.
