Chapter 1024: 6 consecutive Premier League titles
Just as Bruno said, after the start of the game, Norwich still showed a desperate fighting attitude and was not defeated by Bruno and Manchester United who performed a hat trick.
If Manchester United really thinks they can rest easy with a two-goal lead, it is hard to say what the final result will be.
Later in the game, Norwich pressed forward, looking desperate. And what about Manchester United? They took advantage of Norwich's pressure and attacked the gaps behind them, playing a very skillful counterattack.
Although Manchester United did not have many attacks, they were almost threatening every time.
Anyone who saw this scene would feel that Norwich was in danger.
Want to count on them to help Liverpool stop Manchester United? I'm afraid it's unrealistic.
Manchester United continued to attack Norwich's back line, and this approach was successful in the 73rd minute.
In the 73rd minute, Kante intercepted the ball and passed it to Bruno. Bruno made a long pass from the backcourt to the wing to find Elanga. Elanga dribbled the ball inside and broke into the penalty area to shoot. The ball was saved by Norwich goalkeeper Krul and bounced to the middle.
McTominay followed up from the middle and strode forward, then pushed the ball into the empty goal!
4: 1!
………………
"The suspense is over! McTominay's goal announced that Manchester United will win the league title for six consecutive seasons!" Martin Taylor shouted.
The new Old Trafford Stadium was already in an uproar at this time, and all the fans jumped up from their seats, cheered, and then sang in unison.
"McTominay!! The game is over, the game is over!" He Wei shouted. "Even though there are still 134 minutes left, I think I can already say this - Manchester United is the champion! Six consecutive league titles. This is not only the first time a team has done this in the -year history of the Premier League, but even in the -year history of England's top league, no team other than Manchester United has achieved six consecutive league titles!"
"Not just in the Premier League, but even across the five major leagues, Manchester United's six consecutive titles are second only to Bayern Munich, who have won the title for ten consecutive years, and Lyon, who once won seven consecutive Ligue 1 titles. However, in terms of value, Manchester United's six consecutive titles even far surpass Bayern Munich's ten consecutive titles. After all, Bayern Munich, known as the "King of the South", dominates the Bundesliga and has no strong competitors. Ligue 1 is undoubtedly far inferior to the other four major leagues in terms of team strength and league influence. And in the six years since Manchester United won the title, they have always faced strong competition. Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, and even Tottenham have all seriously challenged Manchester United's dominance!"
………………
After scoring the goal, McTominay did not hug anyone this time. Instead, he took off his jersey and ran towards the corner flag area. He no longer cared about being given a yellow card.
If I don’t take off my clothes at this time, it seems that I won’t be able to vent my emotions enough.
He waved his fist at the Manchester United fans in the stands with his bare chest, and the Manchester United fans responded with roars.
"The goal was scored by Scott—"
"McTominay!!!"
The other Manchester United players rushed up, first hugged McTominay, and then celebrated with McTominay and the Manchester United fans in the stands.
Everyone was cheering, singing, and twisting their bodies.
The stone in their hearts fell to the ground. They believed that it was impossible for Manchester United to be equalized by Norwich when they were leading by three goals, and it would give Liverpool and Manchester City an opportunity to take advantage.
"It now seems that Liverpool's away loss to Manchester United actually determined the league title..." He Wei said, calming down a bit. "Manchester United has always performed well in strong matches. This season, their record against the BIG6 teams is 7 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss. The only game they lost was the away game against Arsenal in the 34th round of the league, a game Manchester United strategically gave up. However, in other strong matches, Manchester United has not lost. Especially against direct competitors Liverpool and Manchester City, Manchester United has won all four games, which played a crucial role in their sixth consecutive Premier League title!"
"Now Liverpool can only focus on the Champions League final, right? If they can beat Manchester United in the Champions League final, it will dilute the pain of losing three domestic championships..."
………………
Of course, the news that Manchester United was leading Norwich 4:1 quickly reached St. Mary's Stadium.
This score means that no matter what efforts Liverpool makes, it is just a desperate struggle. They have lost the league title this season.
Silence fell on the Liverpool bench and the bench. Players kept glancing towards the sidelines, taking advantage of dead balls to inquire about Manchester United's situation, but no one told them. Klopp chose to keep it a secret, fearing it would affect the players' performance.
When Manchester United was leading 2:1, Liverpool players had already lost interest in celebrating the goal. If they knew that Manchester United was already three goals ahead of Norwich, I'm afraid they would have lost interest in the game...
This is not Anfield, and the Liverpool players on the field cannot get a rough idea of what is happening over there by listening to the boos or cheers of the fans in the stands.
Ever since McTominay scored the fourth goal, the new Old Trafford has turned into a huge party scene. The singing started from the Stretford Stand (West Stand) and soon spread throughout the stadium.
The Manchester United players on the field became more and more relaxed as the game went on, and they seemed to be at ease facing the pressing of Norwich players.
When Bruno used his heel to pass the ball accurately to his teammates twice in a row, the cheers from the stands almost resounded to the sky, like a circus performance at a party.
………………
In the 83rd minute, Bruno was substituted.
Mourinho is preparing for the Champions League final. Although there are still eleven days before the Champions League final, it is appropriate to let the main players rest now to avoid the possibility of injury.
When Bruno came off the field, he received a standing ovation from all the Manchester United fans.
"Bruno's off the pitch. This was his last league game of the season. Although he didn't play the full 90 minutes, it was a perfect ending to his season..." He Wei said as Bruno left the pitch. "Thirty-eight goals in a single season, including twenty-five assists, are the highest in European leagues. He's definitely the main contributor to Manchester United's sixth consecutive league title this season!"
Seeing that he was about to be substituted, Bruno turned and walked to the sidelines, shaking hands, hugging and high-fiving his teammates as he passed by.
He completed the handover with Mahrez on the sidelines, then came down and raised his hands to applaud the fans in the stands.
Mourinho came over, pulled Bruno into his arms, and ruffled his hair lovingly.
Bruno returned to the bench and high-fived his teammates one by one to celebrate winning the league title.
Everyone's face was filled with a relaxed and joyful smile.
………………
The score is 4:1, Manchester United is leading.
At this point, Norwich had already given up. They had already been relegated early, and the last two games were a fight for honor and for the fans who supported them.
However, due to the huge gap in strength, they were ultimately defeated.
Some Norwich fans who traveled with the team sat in their seats, staring blankly at the field, with tears on their cheeks.
Their dejected expression was in stark contrast to the Manchester United fans who were cheering and celebrating wildly not far away.
The joys and sorrows of football and life are put in the same picture. This may be one of the reasons why football is so popular around the world.
It always manages to condense the joys and sorrows of life into these ninety minutes.
………………
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the cheers at the new Old Trafford reached their highest decibel level, and Martin Taylor had to shout at the top of his lungs to prevent his voice from being drowned out.
"The game is over! Congratulations to Manchester United! They won the 2021-2022 Premier League championship! This is their sixth consecutive league championship!"
"This is Manchester United's 19th title win in the Premier League's 30-year history. They are the undisputed champions in the history of the Premier League. Even from the current situation, it is still difficult for any team to shake their dominance in the short term because Bruno is still in Manchester United's squad!"
Amidst cheers, Manchester United players and coaches rushed onto the field to celebrate the championship with their teammates.
At the same time at St. Mary's Stadium, the match between Liverpool and Southampton had just ended.
As soon as the game ended, the Liverpool players on the field were eager to ask their teammates off the field about Manchester United's result.
Their teammates told them with expressions as if their loved ones had died: It's all over, Manchester United is the champion.
They were stunned when they learned the truth.
It was at this time that head coach Klopp stood up to comfort them and said, "Okay, don't worry too much. Don't take it to heart. We still have a Champions League final between us and them. We can win back the championship we lost in the domestic league in the Champions League. Cheer up!"
Having said that, many Liverpool players were still distracted, as if they hadn't heard what their head coach said at all.
Seeing this, Klopp was helpless. He sighed and said that now he could only let the players digest this bad result on their own. Maybe they would feel much better after a good night's sleep the next day.
In fact, this result is the biggest blow to him as the head coach, because he is the one in the team who most wants to pull Manchester United down from the league championship throne.
But he is the head coach. No matter how disappointed and painful he is inside, he cannot show it in front of these players.
While everyone at Liverpool was feeling dejected, the new Old Trafford was a sea of joy. Everyone was running, cheering, and howling to celebrate the team's victory in winning the league title again.
