(6 years ago)The Coronervirus fight has interrupted one of the most extraordinary seasons in European football, where extraordinary surprises were taking place in the world's 5 strongest leagues. In England the greatest surprise was that of Liverpool. Of course, last year's Liverpool managed to win the Champions League, but no dominance [...] was expected.
In England the greatest surprise was that of Liverpool. Of course, last year's Liverpool was able to win the Champions League, but no such great dominance was expected at Premier League.
Jurgen Klopp's team had 25 points ahead of Manchester City's location in the billboard rankings, and the champion's case was already a matter carried out.
The next surprise in England was Leicester City, expected to go to the League Champions, with eight points above Manchester United of the fifth country.
While in the second category, Championship was making Marcelo Bielsas United' name, the team that ranked first and was expected to return to Premier League after sixteen years.
In Germany, the largest bephais can be considered Werder Bremen, the German elite team that is unlikely to survive when only seven laps remain to be developed. Rasica's team won the last match, but it also needs more victories to at least secure the 16th place in which to play fair matches with the third Bundesligla II team.
Unlike Bundesligla, Italy's Seria A was producing one of the hottest seasons in history.
The eighth consecutive champion, Juventus, was facing a much harder opponent in the war for the title: Lazio. Lazio had only one point less, but ten more scored goals, and a less accepted goal. So Lazio was in the superform and had better defense of the attack than Juvenus.
Yet, surprise does not end here in Italy. Atalanta was producing the most beautiful football of all other teams while fighting for a country leading to the Champion League. This team for 25 matches scored a total of 70 goals, or 20 more than Juventu and 42 goals more than Milan.
This team's tactics without famous players still remain mysterious to football analysts, but are expected to have major impact on popular sports in the years ahead.
In Spain, surprise was making the Real Sociedad of Adnan Yanuzaj and Getafe, teams that are being ranked better than Diego Pablo Simeones's Atletico Madrid.
Both of these teams were fighting for a seat in the Champions League, just as they were fighting Seville, Atletico and part-time Valencia.
The title race, however, remains under way by Barcelona and Real Madrid. /Periscope
