MANCHESTER CITY-ASTON VILLA 3-2
Emotions, twists and a sensational comeback are the setting for Manchester City’s conquest of the Premier League. The Citizens are confirmed champions of England after a match for strong hearts, in which Guardiola sees the abyss before exploding with joy with the fans who invade the field, exactly like Mancini ten years ago. Guardiola’s team feels the pressure and holds a lot of ball without ever becoming dangerous, it is then Aston Villa to take the lead on one of the few offensive actions in the 37th minute with Cash’s nice header that surprises the too often distracted defense of Citizens. In particular Fernardinho, in the last match with the City shirt, commits two more naiveties in the final of the first half but Watkins always misses the great chance of a sensational double. How many risks for Guardiola who goes to the locker room breathing a sigh of relief because the score could have been much more severe, in the second half all his men throw themselves forward and it is Watkins who again fails to double for the guests. It’s just the dress rehearsal, Guardiola’s men are totally in a nutshell especially in defense, then the much-announced doubling of Aston Villa finally arrives in the 68th minute with Coutinho. Etihad Stadium speechless, Gundogan takes care of it just entered in the 76th minute to shorten the distance and revitalize the environment. It is the decisive shock, just three minutes pass and Rodri signs the sensational draw: one-two devastating, then for the trio it is only a matter of time and again Gundogan plays the role of savior of the homeland and in the 81st minute he puts in from half meter. Five minutes of madness that change the history of the Premier League, five minutes to go from hell to heaven, the City raises the wall and the party starts at the triple whistle.

LIVERPOOL-WOLVERHAMPTON 3-1
Klopp only touches the dream, he believes in it but then crashes on the most beautiful and now Liverpool can concentrate on the Champions League final against Real Madrid next Saturday. Shocking start of Liverpool that after just three minutes goes under for the fulminating goal of Neto. Reds stunned and risk doubling with Dendoncker, but the fear passed Thiago Alcantara packs a splendid heel assist for Manè and the Senegalese (on the edge of offside) signs the 1-1 alone in front of the goalkeeper. On the other hand, Manè is certainly always offside at the start of the second half when he brings his team forward but the Var cancels the goal that at that moment would have brought Liverpool to the top of the standings. Positive news arrives from Manchester but Klopp’s team is tired, Salah also enters not at his best physically, the Wolves do not make extras and remain insidious on the counterattack. Time is running out and haste doesn’t help, City’s three goals in five minutes don’t help either, Salah’s advantage becomes useless in the 84th minute and Robertson’s three-of-a-kind close to recovery only makes a useless victory bitter.

THE OTHER MATCHES
In addition to City and Liverpool already widely qualified for the Champions League for several days now, Chelsea and Tottenham are the other two teams to snatch the pass for the top European competition. The Blues strengthen their third place thanks to a 2-1 victory over Watford (already relegated) with goals from Havertz and Barkley, Conte’s team instead conquers the fourth position after the easy away success 5-0 over Norwich already relegated. For the Spurs goals from Kulusevski (brace), Son (brace) and Kane, mocked Arsenal which must therefore be satisfied with fifth place that is worth the Europa League despite the overwhelming 5-1 home game over Everton. In the Europa League also Manchester United despite the 1-0 knockout at Crystal Palace, while West Ham (defeated 3-1 in Brighton) will play the next Conference League. In the fight for salvation, Leeds wins, taking the Brentford home 2-1 and sending Burnley to the Championship, beaten 2-1 by Newcastle. Finally Leicester-Southampton 4-1.
