Chapter 1433 Beating Mars
"Game over!"
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 failed to defeat Saria at home, and 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 defeat 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! At least Tramed has won the Triple Crown in the Premier League, but there has not been one in La Liga. Triple Crown!”
Among 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 had 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. Do they have the nerve to call themselves the "rich among the rich"?
But there is no way, the competition in La Liga is so fierce.
After all, there are three first-class giants in La Liga.
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 - points that can win the championship in the other four major leagues.
In La Liga, they are 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-range 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. Teams that can win the championship will always face direct competitors. Even if there is only one competitor, 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 tie the game with the Pirates with one win and one loss, the final round does not necessarily need to see the result of the game between the Pirates and Catalonia United.
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 the Madrid Kings.
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 in the away game. These two direct competitors have a lot to do with it.
The "Western Super League" league deserves its reputation...
※※※
While the Kings of Madrid players watched dumbfounded, Sarria's players were celebrating wildly. They ran 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 does not prevent them from celebrating.
Because they were celebrating an amazing season - and it was an amazing season for them, even if it ended with nothing.
This is the philosophy of life for mid-to-lower teams like Saria:
There is no ambition to win the championship, as long as we 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 the icing on the cake. It's good to have it, but it doesn't matter if you don't have it.
The key is to stay in La Liga.
Saria managed to stay in La Liga this season and ranked well, eventually finishing eighth. Reached the quarterfinals in the Europa League and tied with the Kings in the final round. If the Pirates hadn't been too ambitious, Sarria almost became an important piece in determining the league title.
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 that the Madrid Kings finally drew 2:2 with Saria at home 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 rushed onto the field to celebrate their victory.
They already lead Catalonia 4:1, and 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 Valentin 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 his first time to win 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 - many Catalan United fans had already left early.
After Parotti replaced Hulay, Catalan fans left the field one after another.
They were extremely disappointed with their team's performance and used this method to express their dissatisfaction.
At 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 can be clearly heard at the Sagrada Familia Stadium:
"United! People! Never! Will be! Defeated!"
"United! People! Never! Will be! Defeated!"
"United! People! Never! Will 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!"
"Come too, 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 and waving the national flag with both hands. As he ran, it seemed as if a red flame was burning and spreading on the green field.
In the huge Sagrada Familia stadium, a person's flame is very small, as small as a spark. But it attracted everyone's attention, and everyone couldn't 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 whole 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 More of this can be seen in Europe… Not just Hu Lai, but also other Chinese players! Come on, everyone! Please don't give up your efforts, and don't underestimate yourself. Each of you is an insignificant spark, but it is your sparks that ignite the fire! ”
At this moment, countless people were in a daze in front of the TV watching this scene. Among them were ordinary fans and players.
The fire lit by Hu Lai burned in everyone's hearts. (End of chapter)
