So far, there is only one team in the top five Premier League, and this season, all four of them are 100% short of the four.

Since the Premier League this season, there is a team that can be regarded as a typical example of opening high and closing low. Originally, they were regarded as the biggest dark horses in Europe, especially a few months ago, when people generally believed that they would enter the Champions League and look for the glory of the 1980s. But now, they have fallen out of the Champions League.

Nottingham Forest.

Next season, there will be 5 Champions League places in the Premier League, while Nottingham Forest is unbiased and is in the sixth position. Although this is not the final result, Nottingham Forest has lost points frequently in recent times, and it is hard to believe that they will return to the top five and even come to the third position they have been in for a long time. So, I personally feel that although the rankings of the top five teams at present may still change, these five teams will be the final top five in the Premier League this season.

The Premier League is known for its internal volume. Due to its high level of commercial operation, numerous competitions, and even some small and medium-sized teams are rich and powerful, so there are so many championship trophies in each season, which is not enough for them to score. The mode of winning the triple-championship in the 22nd to 23rd season is just an extreme situation, and most seasons, the distribution of trophys is actually very even.

This season has not ended, but among the top five teams, Liverpool has secured the Premier League championship, Manchester City won the Community Shield Cup at the beginning of the season, and now it has reached the FA Cup final, and is expected to win the second trophy. Newcastle United and Chelsea ranked fourth and fifth respectively. Not only are they located in the Champions League, but Newcastle United also won the British League Cup, and Chelsea is striving for the European League championship. With their strength, it is not difficult to do this.

Not to mention the top five, how about the 14th and 15th? Manchester United and Tottenham are currently striving for the Europa League championship. There are two Premier League teams in the semi-finals, and they are divided into different half-zones. This champion is likely to be won by the Premier League.

There are only one team in the top five in the Premier League, and it is 100% certain that all four of them are gone this season.

Arsenal. In the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Arsenal did not create a miracle. They lost to Paris Saint-Germain 1:2 away and were eliminated 1:3 in the total score. In fact, Arsenal did not have many opportunities, just like Paris Saint-Germain ran away in the first leg. This time, Arsenal also tried to start the game at Paris Saint-Germain, and the results were good. But helplessly, Paris Saint-Germa had one goal and saved several must-scoring goals.

I don't think Arsenal played badly at all, it's just luck. As long as you can score one at the beginning of the game, it is hard to say about this game.

From a broad perspective, Arsenal gave up on the Premier League early on, after all, Liverpool led too much. Looking at Arsenal's recent rounds of record, they either draw or lose. It can be seen that they have devoted all their energy to preparing for the Champions League. Therefore, Arsenal was eliminated, and he must be full of reluctance and loss. In particular, the top five teams have championships, or there are trophys to fight for. And Arsenal's journey this season has actually ended.

But this does not mean that Arsenal has failed this season. On the contrary, as the only seer of the Champions League semi-finals in the Premier League, Arsenal has made great progress in its own dimension. The last time they reached the Champions League semi-finals was in 2009. And this season in the Champions League, Arsenal eliminated Real Madrid. Think about it seven years ago, Arsenal was still a declining nobleman far away from the Champions League. Going forward, they were still the Champions League Sixteen. And now, Arsenal has officially returned as a strong competitive team in the Champions League.

Whether a season is successful cannot be seen only on the trophy. Otherwise, you ask Chelsea, there is only one European League champion or Champions League seat, which one do they want? The results of the Champions League semi-finals are definitely stronger than those of the English League Cup, the FA Cup, and even the European Union.
