The English football championship leader Manchester City has to wait for the seventh championship title.
Coach Pep Guardiola's team lost 1: 2 (1: 0) in the Premier League on Saturday evening against Chelsea, coached by Thomas Tuchel, who had eliminated City in the FA Cup semi-finals.
Man City could become champions on Sunday if local rivals Manchester United then lose at Aston Villa.
Hakim Ziyech (63rd minute) and Marcos Alonso (90th + 2) scored in the duel of this year's Champions League finalists for the guests from London, who showed a strong performance, especially in the second half.
Raheem Sterling (44th) had previously scored the opening goal for Man City.

Shortly before the break, Sergio Agüero could and should have increased for the Guardiola-Elf, but he failed with a penalty.
To celebrate the day, the Argentine apparently wanted to show a special feat and arrogantly lifted the ball into the middle of the goal.
Hoping goalkeeper Édouard Mendy would jump into a corner.
But he crouched down briefly, then smelled the roast, got up again and caught the ball.
Werner's goal revoked

Before Chelsea's winning goal by Alonso, Timo Werner and Tammy Abraham had also hit the goal, but both were sometimes just offside.
Both coaches had changed their starting XI in several positions compared to the games during the week in the premier class on Saturday.
Guardiola initially renounced Ilkay Gündogan and Phil Foden.
Tuchel left Kai Havertz on the bench for 90 minutes.
Three game days before the end of the season, leaders City had another 13 points ahead of runners-up Man United on Saturday evening.
City's local rivals have five more games to play.
In view of the maximum possible 15 points, United only has theoretical chances for the title.
On Tuesday, City reached the Champions League final for the first time in club history with a 2-0 win against Paris Saint-Germain. On May 29, they will play against Tuchel's FC Chelsea again, who beat Real Madrid 2-0 on Wednesday.
