Football never ceases to surprise us and matchday 31 of the Premier League has given us a true spectacle of great enjoyment for the spectator. Chelsea and Manchester United faced each other at Stamford Bridge with both teams needing to achieve a victory that would keep them in the fight for their goals, after a season of lights and shadows.
The truth is that the meeting did not disappoint and met all expectations. The match began with two goals from Pochettino's team in a few minutes, scored by Gallaguer and Palmer. It seemed that the meeting was leaning towards the blues, but Ten Hag's team managed to tie before the break with goals from Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes. Upon returning from the locker room, the red devils They took the lead with a double from Garnacho, thus completing a great comeback. When everything indicated that the game would fall to the Old Trafford team, a penalty converted by Palmer once again gave Chelsea the tie in the 98th minute. Finally, madness took over Stamford Bridge, and Palmer capped a night to remember with a hat trick in the 100th minute of the game. A true madness that distances Manchester United from their chances of qualifying for next season's Europa League.
We must start from the basis that the initial rule is that the fifth place in the Premier League and the winner of the FA Cup get a ticket for the Europa League. Currently, Ten Hag's team is sixth in the table, and this defeat It distances it by nine points from Tottenham, which is fifth. From here, there are two main routes that seem most possible for Manchester United to be able to compete in the next Europa League:
It is clear that the defeat suffered in the match against Chelsea makes Manchester United's chances of qualifying for the Europa League very difficult. However, the possibility still exists, and as long as it exists, Ten Hag's team must fight each game as if it were their last, faithful to the historical greatness of the Manchester team.
