The accident did not happen. Chelsea, who was slightly stronger, reversed and defeated Real Betis and successfully won the European Union championship. Tottenham Hotspur, the Premier League team won a total of two European championships this season. However, as Liverpool and Arsenal lost one after another, in the most important arena, no team in the Premier League can enter the finals.

Chelsea fell behind early, counterattacked in the second half, scored four goals in a row, won a big victory, and won the fourth European Union championship. The previous three championships belonged to Roma, West Ham and Olympiacos. A champion makes Chelsea the first Grand Slam team to win the three major championships of the Champions League, the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Champions League. The last one is a head coach named Mourinho.

At the same time, Chelsea defeated Real Betis, which was Liverpool more than 20 years ago. After defeating Alaves in the League Cup final, the first Premier League team can defeat La Liga in the three major European Cup finals. Previously, the Premier League had lost to La Liga in the final nine consecutive times, and everyone was impressed by it, including Liverpool's two losses to Real Madrid and Manchester United's two losses to Barcelona.

What is rare is that Chelsea's three most recent championships were completed in seven years, namely the 2018 Europa League, the 2021 Champions League, and the 2024 Europa League. What's even more rare is that if the former European Cup Winners were included, Chelsea completed the European Championship Grand Slam. Since the Winners Cup has become history, there will not be too many teams who want to achieve this goal in the future. Perhaps, Manchester United, which is now in a low tide, will be the next favorite team to win the Grand Slam if they have the opportunity to participate in the European Union.

In addition, Chelsea's finals in the European Championship have a very amazing winning rate. Including this championship, they have participated in the European finals in a total of 8 times, winning 7 of them, including two Champions Leagues, two Europa Leagues, two Winners' Cups, and one Europa League, and are expected to win two laps of Grand Slams. The only final defeat happened on the famous rainy night in Moscow. Terry and Anelka both missed penalty kicks, making Ferguson's Manchester United and winning the Champions League trophy for the third time.

This season, Liverpool won the Premier League championship, Crystal Palace and Newcastle won two domestic cup championships, Tottenham and Chelsea won two European championships, 5 different Premier League teams and 5 different major championships, this is the first time in history. Unfortunately, Liverpool and Arsenal, the two league champions, were unable to reach the Champions League final, and there was no Premier League in the highest stage in Europe, especially after Arsenal defeated Real Madrid, it was once highly expected.

Two seasons ago, three Serie A teams entered the finals at the same time. Unfortunately, Inter Milan lost to Manchester City, Roma lost to Sevilla, Fiorentina lost to West Ham, and all Serie A were runner-up. If Paris Saint-Germain hadn't performed well and swept Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal all the way in the knockout stage, Premier League teams would have appeared in the final of the Champions League this season.

Interestingly, the showdown between Anthony and Sancho is an alternative highlight of the European League finals. Anthony, who was defeated by all sides in the La Liga, met the Premier League team. With the assisted defense of Cucurella and Kessedo, there was almost no chance, which confirmed the embarrassment of the Brazilian winger at Manchester United. Sancho came on as a substitute and scored a goal that locked the score. At this moment, Manchester United fans must feel all kinds of feelings in their hearts, with only one expectation: don't return the goods.
