As the referee blew three whistles, the match between the Kings of Madrid and Saria ended.
"This is really a somewhat surprising result. The powerful Kings of Madrid were not able to defeat Saria at home. They finally shook hands with their opponents 2:2!"
The Madrid Kings players on the court looked very depressed and frustrated. Many of them stood on the court with their hands on their hips, staring blankly at the cheering Sarria players.
"Although it is said that as long as the Pirates win, no matter what the result of the Kings here, they will miss the league championship. But ending the season with a victory or a draw will still give people different feelings... This draw means
The complete failure of the Madrid Kings in the league!"
"The 'Triple Crown' dream has been shattered! Even for a top club like Madrid Kings, it is so difficult to win a 'Treble Crown'... They can sweep the giants from Europe in the Champions League, but they cannot defeat them in the league.
Teams like Saria...Those who think that the competition in La Liga is not as fierce as the Premier League, you can take a look at this game! In the Premier League, at least Tramed has won the Triple Crown, but there has not been one born in La Liga.
Triple Crown!"
Of the five major European leagues, only La Liga and French Ligue 1 have not won the Triple Crown.
The Premier League, Bundesliga and Serie A have all won trebles.
Ligue 1 is mainly less competitive in the Champions League, and La Liga has not had a triple crown so far, which is really surprising.
Some fans have said before that the Kings of Madrid, as a top giant, have not even won a Triple Crown. How dare they call themselves the "rich among the rich"?
But there is no way, the competition in La Liga is so fierce.
After all, La Liga has three first-class giants.
If you want to win the Triple Crown, you must ask the other two giants if they agree.
Take this season as an example. Although Catalonia performed poorly in the last round of the league, they also scored 93 points. When compared to the other four major leagues, they are all points that can win the championship.
In La Liga, it is only third.
In La Liga this season, the top three teams all have more than 90 points, while among the other four major leagues, only Serie A's Torino Bulls have more than 90 points.
Perhaps the overall strength of the mid-tier teams in La Liga is not as good as that of the Premier League, but there is only one league championship, and there is essentially no difference between six teams competing for it and three teams competing for it. The team that can win the championship will always face direct competitors, even if
There is only one competitor, and if you can't win, you may not win the championship.
The Kings lost this season and were double beaten by the Madrid Pirates in the league. If they can evenly score one win and one loss with the Pirates, the final round does not necessarily need to look at the result of the Pirates and Catalonia match.
However, the Pirates may not be able to suppress the Kings, so they were eliminated by the Kings in the Champions League.
As the defending champions, Catalonia United performed very well at the beginning of the season, but later with the injury of Rosas, the team's condition declined and the results were also ups and downs.
The El Clasico was the most fatal loss to Madrid.
If they win that game, they will surpass the Kings and Pirates in points and become first in the league.
In this last round, when facing the Pirates at home, morale will not be low.
The reason why the Pirates were able to win the league championship in the end had a lot to do with their double defeat of the Kings at home and away, and their victory over Catalonia United on the road, these two direct competitors.
The "Western Super League" is well-deserved...

While the Kings of Madrid players stared dumbfoundedly, Saria's players were celebrating wildly. They rushed onto the field, hugged each other and cheered.
Excited as if they were the one to win the league.
But in fact, let alone winning the championship, they didn't even win this game.
But this doesn't stop them from celebrating.
Because what they were celebrating was that this was an amazing season for them. It was indeed an amazing season for them, even if they ended up with nothing.
This is the philosophy of life for mid-to-lower teams like Saria:
I don’t have the ambition to win the championship, as long as I can survive in La Liga.
On this basis, if you can still qualify for the European competition, that would be even better.
But these are just icing on the cake. It’s good to have them, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t have them.
The key is to stay in La Liga.
Saria managed to stay in La Liga this season, and his ranking was pretty good, finishing eighth. He reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League and tied with the Kings in the last round. If the Pirates hadn't been so ambitious, Saria would have been worse. One point became an important chess piece in determining the league championship.
These are all factors that make Sarria players and fans happy and satisfied.
They don't have as high goals as the wealthy Kings of Madrid, so they are naturally more likely to be satisfied.

When the news of Madrid's final home draw with Saria 2:2 reached the Sagrada Familia Stadium, no one cared.
The coaches and substitute players of the Madrid Pirates all left their seats and stood on the sidelines, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle for the end of the game before they could rush onto the field to celebrate their victory.
They already lead Catalonia 4:1, it doesn't matter how the Kings play.
As soon as the final whistle blows, they are the champions!
"Why didn't the whistle blow?" second assistant coach Enzo Naher complained.
The first assistant coach Valentine glanced at the game time on the big screen and said: "There is still half a minute..."
"We are three goals ahead of Catalonia. What can they do in the last half minute? They might as well just blow the whistle and end the game!"
Nacher is a little impatient. He came to Spain from Italy with coach Parotti. This is the first time he has won the La Liga championship.
As an assistant coach, this championship is a reward for his hard work and will add a beautiful addition to his resume.
The stands opposite the stadium seemed a bit empty, and many Catalan United fans had already left early.
After Parotti replaced Hulay, the Catalan United fans left the field one after another.
They were extremely disappointed with their team's performance and used this method to express their dissatisfaction.
By this time, about 20% of the fans had left the stands.
The remaining Catalan United fans, although they had not left yet, all stopped and fell into silence.
So the shouts of the Madrid Pirates fans could be clearly heard at the Sagrada Familia Stadium:
"The united! People! will never! be! Defeated!"
"The united! People! will never! be! Defeated!"
"The united! People! will never! be! Defeated!"
After shouting, they began to sing the song of the same name, and the songs floated over the Holy Family Stadium.
"Get up! Sing! We go to victory!"
"Flag of Unity! Already moving forward!"
"You come too and march with us!"
"You will see singing and flags flying!"
The 5,000 Pirates fans created a momentum comparable to 50,000 people.
Amid the singing, the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game!
"The game is over! The game is over! Congratulations to Madrid Pirates! They won the 2027-2028 La Liga championship!"
"The game is over! Hu Lai is the champion! A brand new honor has been added to his resume! In this way, in every league Hu Lai has participated in, he has won the league championship! China League One,
Chinese Super League, Premier League and now La Liga! This is an amazing achievement!"
In the camera, Hu Lai rushed out from the bench and shook the things he was holding in his hands. When the red color bloomed, everyone realized that it was a five-star red flag!
I saw him running while waving the national flag with both hands. As he ran, it seemed like a red flame was burning and spreading on the green field.
In the huge Holy Family Stadium, a person's flame is very small, as small as a spark. But it attracts everyone's attention, making everyone unable to help but move their eyes.
Watching the sparks of fire running from one end of the stadium to the other, and then diving into the crowd, even though they were surrounded by people, there were still fires jumping out, burning stubbornly and not being extinguished.
With another gust of wind, the sparks stand out from the crowd and float to other places.
It seemed like it was going to set the entire stadium on fire.
"Thank you Hu Lai!" He Feng said with emotion at this scene, "Thank you for allowing us to see the flying Chinese red in far away Spain! I believe... I hope... no, I wish, I sincerely wish that we will be together in the future
You can see more of this scene in Europe...not just Hu Lai, but also other Chinese players! Come on, everyone! Please don't give up your efforts, and don't belittle yourselves. Each of you is an insignificant spark, but
It is sparks like you that ignite a prairie fire!"
At this moment, there were countless people in front of the TV looking at such a scene and falling into a daze. Among them were ordinary fans and players.
The fire lit by Hu Lai burned in everyone's hearts.
