As soon as referee Radina blew the whistle for the end of the match, Sparta fans immediately flooded the entire pitch. When the players got to the locker room, the much-anticipated celebrations began.
“The reality is unreal, I thank everyone who took care of it and worked on it every day. It showed how strong we are, we were able to close and believe in our goal. Don’t think about what anyone says outside. We are champions and the best in the country!” points out Ladislav Krejčí the younger.

After the fall, Sparta was practically out of the game for the title, but in the spring, they made a great chase.
“We’ve done an awful lot of work on the pitch – and even more off it. It’s about characters,” emphasizes the captain.
Due to an injury, he wasted almost the entire autumn, but in the spring he immediately became a real leader.

| Others: the most successful Czech football club was founded at the end of 1893 as Athletic Club Královské Vinohrady, less than a year later it was renamed AC Sparta; Sparta experienced its first successful period in the interwar years, when it earned the nickname “iron” for its sovereignty; other titles were won by the Leten team under the names Sokol Bratrství and Spartak Praha Sokolovo, but after the triumph in 1967 there was a seventeen-year fast, which culminated in the only relegation to the second league so far (1975); from the mid-1980s, Sparta dominated the league for a quarter of a century, recorded a number of successes in European cups and also paid for the main domestic supplier of the national team; since the arrival of entrepreneur and current club owner Daniel Křetínský in 2004, Sparta has relinquished domestic supremacy to Pilsen and Slavia, the last time it enjoyed winning the title was in the 2013/14 season; the Spartans did not do very well in European cups either, their maximum being the quarter-finals of the Europa League in the 2015/16 season; during Křetínský’s tenure, Sparta changed coaches nineteen times.

“I learned to keep the same mindset, I was able to use four years of work in important moments and I am proud of myself and the team. I am the happiest person in the world! I would dedicate the title to each of us who believed and was with us throughout the season,” adds Krejčí.
