Everton 20 years ago and Freiburg this season all reflected the attitude of the Champions League - next season, Manchester United is not welcome

This topic is very jumping and hidden deep, so let us peel it apart bit by bit.

Europa League finals are near, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur (some people also call them Wolong Feng Chu) have retreated together most of the season. In order to bet on the European League front, they don’t even want to face the Premier League, one ranks 16th and the other ranks 17th. Just looking at the rankings, we can completely define Manchester United as the bottom team in the Premier League. Now talking about big6 is simply humiliating.

The cruelty of this Europa League final is that the losing side will gain a complete failure season and gain nothing. What the two teams compete for seems to be just a championship trophy, but in fact, compared to this championship, what they value more is that they can go directly to the Champions League through this trophy. This is what they care about the most. Just one Europa League, both teams have actually won the championship in history, and Tottenham is also the veteran champion of the League Cup. And now, how can the Europa League champion be compared with the Champions League champion? Even the Champions League qualification is not as good as the Champions League.

Looking at the rankings of Manchester United and Tottenham in the Premier League, it can be said that they reached the Europa League final. God feels pitiful and gives them an extra Champions League place, no, to be precise, one of them.

So, are you optimistic about Manchester United or Tottenham?

In fact, the two teams have been competing for bad times this season. Now they are optimistic about anyone, but they don’t have enough logical support. OK, let’s look through the history based on the current characteristics of the two teams to see what directions they are.

In the final stage of the five major leagues this season, one team is more noticeable, Freiburg. This traditional second-tier team in the Bundesliga once had the opportunity to compete for the Champions League qualification. But unfortunately, in the last round, they lost 1:3 to Frankfurt at home and had to play in the Europa League. In today's topic, the only thing we need to remember is Freiburg's goal of gains and losses - 49:53, with a goal difference of 4.

Okay, now let's take a jump of thinking and return to the distant 2004-05 season. The most important drama in Europe at that time was of course the Miracle of Istanbul. But the story behind this miracle is actually very exciting. At that time, Liverpool only won fifth place in the Premier League. Although they had the status of defending Champions League champions, there were only four Champions League places in the Premier League at that time. The FA hasn't encountered this before. In the end, after many agreements, Liverpool was able to start from the UEFA Champions League qualifiers and continue the UEFA Champions League journey from 2005 to 2006.

Of course, there is also the fourth place in the Premier League, Everton.

Co-authored, the Premier League Champions League seats have not changed, there are still 4, but the fourth one is split into two 0.5, giving Everton and Liverpool respectively.

Unfortunately, Everton did not compete with Liverpool. They were double-killed by Villarreal in the Champions League qualifiers, so they ended before the 2005-06 Champions League trip began.

By the way, let's also remember Everton's Premier League gains and losses from 2004 to 2005 - 45:46, with a goal difference and loss of 1.

20 years ago, Everton, Freiburg, this season, why do these two teams that are not close to each other today? Because in their experience, there is a hidden rule of the Champions League - no matter how much you rank, whether you are in the Champions League zone of this league, in short, if your goal difference is a loss, you are really not qualified to come to the Champions League.

Freiburg lost to fifth place because he lost the game and completely missed the Champions League, but you can interpret it as God's will. Perhaps the Champions League god saw that Freiburg's goal difference had never been able to turn losses into profits, so he arranged for them to lose the game in the end and leave the Champions League zone directly. Yes, they are not welcome in the Champions League.

Everton ranked fourth at the time, but he was in the Champions League. But by chance, it happened that the arch-rival Liverpool won the Champions League title, disrupting the original order of the Premier League's Champions League qualification. If this is not available, Everton will enter the UEFA Champions League in 2005 to 2006 without any qualifying matches.

But in the dark, we can also interpret it as the Champions League god saw Everton's goal difference and looked disgusted, so he arranged for Liverpool to win the championship to disrupt the allocation of the Champions League quota, and then arranged for Villarreal to double defeat Everton, so that they did not enter the UEFA Champions League goal in the 2005 to 2006 seasons. Yes, they are not welcome in the Champions League.

Having said so much, it is actually the Europa League final - next season's Champions League, Manchester United is not welcome.

is very simple. Manchester United's Premier League goal difference is also negative, and it is negative 12, which is too much better than Freiburg and Everton back then, which is consistent with their ranking. Although there is still one round in the Premier League, can you expect Manchester United to win 12 goals in one game? Isn’t this a dream talk?

Therefore, a team with a loss in the league, no matter which one you rank, will be rejected by the Champions League. Everton 20 years ago and Freiburg this season have verified this rule. Manchester United, can you escape?

is very interesting. Tottenham, which ranks one lower than Manchester United, has a goal difference as a positive one. Perhaps, this is the game deliberately arranged by the Champions League - since a UEFA Champions League place must be born in the Europa League final, then there must be a team, and the goal difference meets the requirements, right?

Finally, let's take it a little more seriously. In fact, today's topics are mostly joking. How can this rule be found in the Champions League? It's just a coincidence. But since the two examples of Everton and Freiburg are in front of us, can Manchester United not tremble?

goal difference is definitely not as effective as points, but it represents the dignity and energy of a strong team. Only strong teams are worthy of playing in the Champions League. It's that simple.
