Chinanews client, May 24 (Reporter Yue Chuan) After the plot has been reversed several times, with Liverpool and Chelsea winning the Champions League tickets, the 2020-21 Premier League will be closed on 24 Beijing time.
In the end, Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea were in the top four, and this special season of the Premier League came to an end.
Final standings of the Premier League this season

Leicester City ruined the good game
As it is about qualifying for the Champions League next season, the "fourth" has always been the highlight of the Premier League's final stage, and this season is no exception.
In the case that Manchester City won the championship in advance and the relegation quota has long been produced, who can catch the last train of the Champions League has become the most topical talk.
Before the final round, Manchester City and Manchester United have locked in the top 2 of the standings, and the other two Champions League tickets will be produced between Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester City.
Chelsea have a one-point lead and Liverpool's goal difference is 4 more than Leicester City.
During the 90 minutes of the game, the real-time score rankings of these three teams changed many times, and the plot continued to reverse.
The result was also dramatic. Liverpool, the most unfavorable situation two weeks ago, eventually grabbed the third place.

In the cheering of the home fans, Liverpool firmly controlled their own destiny.
This season's desperate Crystal Palace failed to withstand Liverpool's wave after wave of offensive. Mane scored a goal in the first and second half to help Liverpool beat the opponent 2-0.
Unlike Liverpool, Chelsea and Leicester City both lost their chains in the final round.
Passive Chelsea lost 1:2 to Aston Villa and had already handed out the Champions League tickets.
But there is still a chance to compete for the sixth place to directly qualify for the UEFA Europa League. Tottenham "spurred charcoal in the snow". After falling behind twice, they reversed Leicester City 4:2 and brought Chelsea back to the Champions League again.
Leicester City, who has entered the top four on one foot, has become the most unlucky person.
Originally the situation was very good, but in the last two rounds they lost to their direct rival Chelsea, then reversed by Tottenham, and eventually self-destructed the Great Wall.

Manchester City deserves its title
For defending champion Liverpool, the final round of matches is like the epitome of this difficult season.
Williams and Phillips, the young central defender partner, won the game successively, and they both persisted with injuries.
Looking back on this season, Liverpool, aiming to win the Premier League title, withdrew from the championship early due to injury problems, and the central defender position is the hardest hit.
Van Dijk, Matip, Gomez, and Kabak have been reimbursed for the season, and captain Henderson, who had to be a guest at the center from time to time, also waived the game.
As a "Christmas champion" but ultimately failed to win the Premier League trophy, in recent years there is only Liverpool one, and more than once, this may become a new material for some fans to complain.
Fortunately, in the terrible situation of falling out of the European theater, Liverpool ended the season in third place, which was a turnaround.
Aguero is about to say goodbye
Without Liverpool, a strong competitor, Manchester City's victory seems logical, even though Manchester United once threatened their lead.
In stark contrast to Liverpool's situation, Manchester City, which first declined and then rose, stepped out of an upward curve and eventually won the championship.
At the beginning of the season, Manchester City's performance was sluggish, with only 20 points in the first 12 rounds. It is difficult to find a similarly difficult start in Guardiola's coaching career.
But with a wave of 15-game winning streak in the middle, Manchester City was far away from other opponents until they crossed the line first.
"This Premier League season and championship are different from the past. It is the most difficult one." Although the lead is obvious in the standings, Guardiola described the weight of the trophy.
This is the third time Manchester City have won the league title in the past four years. They have become the most representative team in the Premier League today.
——Foresight
Aguero leaves the team chain reaction
As Guardiola said, this is a special season.
Affected by the epidemic, most of the Premier League games this season are played in empty games, which has greatly narrowed the gap between home and away games.

In the history of the Premier League, there has never been a single season with an away team winning more games than at home. This season has become the first exception. This also reflects the impact of the presence of fans on the players on the field and even the results of the game from one side.
For example, Liverpool suffered a six-game losing streak at home this season, which is unimaginable when there are fans at Anfield.
In the final round of the game, the long-lost stand finally greeted the long-lost shouts. The limit on the number of people watching the game may be gradually lifted next season. The more familiar Premier League atmosphere is returning.
From the perspective of strength, Manchester City, which has a triple crown in four years, is still the biggest favorite to win next season, while Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea will continue to play the role of challengers.
With a brace, Aguero's Premier League curtain call was perfect.
After he leaves the team, Manchester City needs to fill the vacancy left by the best scorer in team history, which is why the name of Harry Kane is often associated with the team recently.
Due to a goal in the final round, Kane surpassed Salah to enjoy the Premier League season golden boots, and he also beat De Bruyne and others to win the assists.
Kane is at the peak of his career, but Tottenham’s ranking in the standings does not match his performance.
Kane named Golden Boot and Assist King
For top players, collective honors and Champions League qualifications are naturally attractive, which may drive Kane to make different decisions this summer, triggering a series of chain reactions.
But these can only be confirmed after the transfer window is opened.
The Premier League this season has ended, but the seasons of two Premier League teams have not yet ended-Manchester City and Chelsea will join the UEFA Champions League final. This matchup will start in the early morning of the 30th of this month, Beijing time. It is also regarded as European football this season. The battle of the pinnacle.
