League Goals: 18; Assists: 38! Manchester City Aim to Beat Arsenal for the Fourth Time in the FA Cup Final!
The 2015-2016 season has concluded for all Top Five Leagues!
In Serie A, Juventus once again retained their title.
Juventus' title win this season is a foregone conclusion.
Due to the dismantling of Inter Milan's main squad during last season's summer transfer window, and AC Milan's continued slump, Juventus's main rivals are now only Napoli and Roma.
In the end, Juventus secured their fifth consecutive Serie A title with a massive nine-point lead over second-placed Napoli!
It's worth mentioning that although Juventus won the league title, their top scorer, Dybala, only scored 19 league goals, ranking second in the top scorers list.
The first place goes to Argentina striker Higuain.
He scored 36 goals, a Golden Boot achievement that ranks second in Serie A history, second only to last season's Golden Boot Icardi.
Rumors are circulating that Juventus has its eye on him and is preparing to spend a large sum of money to poach him during the summer transfer window.
Netizens widely believe that Juventus is showing signs of becoming more like Bayern Munich!
Inter Milan is only ranked sixth in the league, while AC Milan is ranked seventh.
Milan's two giants, like brothers in misfortune, have returned to their "Twin Bears" era.
In La Liga, Barca leads with 91 points, Real Madrid is second with 90 points, and Atlético Madrid is third with 88 points.
These three teams battled it out for an entire season, with the top spot changing hands frequently, but in the end, Barca emerged victorious.
More exciting than the three-team title race is that the La Liga Golden Boot is finally not won by Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo!
Since the 2009-2010 season, the La Liga Golden Boot has been a two-horse race between Messi and Ronaldo.
This season, Suarez emerged as a dark horse, winning the Golden Boot with 40 league goals, breaking Messi and Ronaldo and Ronaldo's six-year monopoly on the La Liga Golden Boot!
The Uruguay striker also beat out Ligue 1's top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic (38 goals), Premier League's top scorer Agüero (37 goals), Serie A's top scorer Higuain (36 goals), Bundesliga's top scorer Robert Lewandowski (30 goals) to win the European Golden Shoe!
In Ligue 1 1, it remains a one-man show by Paris Saint-Germain.
There's not much to say. Paris is leading second place, while Lyon, the former seven-time Ligue 1 1 champions, has secured their fourth consecutive title with 31 points!
Analysts believe that, given this trend, it's only a matter of time before this team from the capital breaks Lyon's record of seven consecutive Ligue 1 1 titles.
In the Bundesliga, Bayern also secured their fourth consecutive title!
The current Dortmund, in terms of both player roster and team appeal, cannot compare to Bayern.
The biggest contributor to the championship victory was Lewandowski, the Golden Boot winner who was poached from Dortmund by Bayern Munich. He accounted for more than a third of the team's goals.
In the Premier League, Manchester City dethroned last season's Chelsea Premier League, reclaiming the title after a year's absence!
Manchester City's title win this season was well-deserved, and there are multiple pieces of evidence to support this.
They are not only the highest-scoring team in the entire Premier League League, but also the team that has conceded the fewest goals.
Meanwhile, Blue Moon also swept the Premier League Golden Boot and assist title this season.
Agüero's 37th goal sets a new record for the most goals scored by a player to win the Premier League Golden Boot!
The Argentina striker not only won his first league Golden Boot, but also set a new single-season goal record, reaching a new peak in his career!
He made a bold statement to the media. "Suarez is the European Golden Shoe? We're both South America players, and I don't think I'm any worse than him. Sorry, what I'm about to say might sound a bit arrogant, but it's the truth— Suarez scored 40 goals in 35 league games, while I scored 37 goals in just 31 games. My efficiency is much higher than his! If I hadn't been sidelined for a month due to injury, the European Golden Shoe would definitely be mine! Next season, other strikers won't be so lucky!"
"You're asking me about Icardi?"
"Haha, sorry! He's my national team teammate, I don't mean to belittle him, but you should ask him first what color Manchester is~"
Compared to Agüero, the information about another Manchester City player, Tang Long, is even more shocking to those in the know!
18 goals and 38 assists in the league – these incredible stats can't be described as just a double-double; they're absolutely phenomenal!
Many Premier League legends have shared their thoughts on Tang Long's information.
Former Golden Boy Owen said, "Scoring 18 goals in the Premier League is already a remarkable achievement. I won the Premier League Golden Boot in both the 1997-1998 and 1998-1999 seasons, and that's 18 goals in those two seasons!"
Ginger-headed Scholes said, "Besides his goals, what really amazes me is his assists! My God, 38 assists! I couldn't put up that statistic in three consecutive seasons!"
Ruud Van Nistelrooy, the king of the penalty area, said, "From a striker's perspective, Don is the best midfielder of this era because he can always deliver comfortable through balls! If you don't believe me, just ask his teammate Agüero, isn't he so full of easy goals that his stomach is about to burst? I'm really jealous of him, so incredibly jealous!"
Chelsea legend Frank Lampard said, "When De Bruyne joined Manchester United, I thought he would definitely be the assist king, but Don proved me wrong. I really can't imagine what 38 assists in a season means. I don't think anyone has surpassed him in the past few decades."
Vieira, the defensive midfielder, said, "I come from a defensive midfield background, and I have very few goals and assists, so I don't really care about Tang's stats. What amazes me about this young man is his control of the tempo in midfield! He doesn't seem like a player under 20 at all. To be honest, his ball handling and anticipation are more mature than mine at 30!"
Liverpool legend Gerrard said, "Aside from the league, Tang Long also contributed 11 goals and 12 assists in the UEFA Champions League. His efficiency in the UEFA Champions League is even higher than in the league, demonstrating his ability to perform well in big games!"
Wembley Stadium.
FA Cup Final!
This is Manchester City's last game of the season, and also the last game that all Britain football fans will be able to watch!
There are no Premier League teams in either the UEFA Champions League or the UEFA Europa League;
This FA Cup naturally became the only major event in the entire Britain that could garner attention!
Wearing a black trench coat, Diletta reports live from the bustling crowd outside Wembley Stadium.
This is Manchester City's fourth encounter with Arsenal this season!
"Two months ago in the League Cup final, they defeated their opponents 3-2 thanks to Tang Long's last-minute goal, lifting the EFL Cup at Wembley Stadium and securing their first trophy of the season!"
"After the match, even Professor Wenger said helplessly, 'They didn't actually lose to Manchester City, they just lost to Don!'"
As she spoke, her voice radiated pride and joy, and she unconsciously raised it a little, drawing sidelong glances from Arsenal fans passing by in their red jerseys.
Afterwards, Diletta randomly interviewed several Arsenal fans on the roadside.
It's clear that while the fans are quite intimidated by Manchester City, they still have their own confidence.
This confidence may stem from a rich cultural heritage.
"Manchester City is very strong, but the FA Cup has always been Arsenal's forte!" said one Arsenal fan.
"That's right, exactly," another fan said. "We've won the FA Cup 11 times, the most of any team in England. We have a strong FA Cup tradition, and winning it again is our goal!"
Diletta, a former journalist, was outspoken and fearless, directly shoving the microphone in and asking:
"Manchester City have defeated Arsenal twice in the league and then scored a last-minute winner in the League Cup. What do you think are the chances of Arsenal being defeated four times in this FA Cup final?"
The photographer nervously trembled, fearing that Diletta would be attacked.
Two Arsenal fans, their faces flushed red!
The thing they least wanted to talk about was a quadra kill.
They had considered this matter countless times before the match, but they didn't even dare to think about it deeply, as if it were a forbidden zone they dared not touch.
"A quadra kill? Absolutely impossible, dream on! I work in mathematics research, and the odds are incredibly slim!" one fan said.
"If Arsenal get four-man defeats, I'll eat your microphone right here and now!" another fan exclaimed.
"I even ate your cameraman's camera!"
