THE TOPSY-TURVY RIDE

The 2024-25 football season is over. Liverpool have been crowned as the champions of the Premier League for the 20th time, equaling Manchester United, whereas Crystal Palace won their first F.A. Cup title in 120 years. On the other hand, Newcastle United, too, won the Carabao Cup after defeating Liverpool in the finals. Apart from them, Tottenham and Chelsea, too, ended their season with silverware, as Tottenham won the UEFA Europa League and Chelsea won the UEFA Conference League. However, one major missing is Manchester City. A club that used to win silverware for fun has ended trophyless after 8 long years. Yes, they were close to winning one, but they lost to Crystal Palace in the finals of the FA Cup by the barest of margins. 

However, despite having a season that no City fan would like to remember, they have ended 3rd in the league and are entitled to take part in next season's Champions League. Hence, one can say it was not too bad a campaign, especially when we look at the conditions of the other side of Manchester. However, we all know Manchester City is a champion side that will surely fight strong next season. The team is in a transition phase as the old guard is stepping down and making way for the new. However, they have a manager at the helm who is truly the best in the world. 

So, one can truly expect a strong comeback from the men in blue. The Champions are down and hurt, but they will definitely put up a fight next season.
