As expected, Crystal<\/strong>Palace <\/strong>y Arsenal <\/strong>They finished the season full of rotations. Nobody had anything at stake on the last day of the Premier. Glasner’s men were saved and without European options and Arteta’s men had already tied the title. And furthermore, both They have European finals in the next few days<\/strong>. Some of Champions <\/strong>against PSG. The others, that of Conference <\/strong>against Rayo Vallecano.<\/p>\n

In this situation, Arsenal demonstrated their status as champions by winning with ease and scoring again from set pieces. Everything very normal. He couldn’t leave his clean sheet<\/strong>which would have been the sixth in a row. Even so they close the season 19<\/strong>half of the games, to which we must add two records<\/strong>: first champion of the Premier era who does not receive any red card… or any penalty against him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, the best news for the ‘Gunner’ team and, at the same time, for the Spanish team, was the return of Mikel Merino<\/strong>. The Navarrese player had not played since last January due to a foot injury and has arrived in time to join the party, the Champions League final… and the World Cup. He was not a starter, but had half an hour<\/strong> to feel like a footballer again. It’s already a lot considering the initial deadlines.<\/p>\n

Mikel Merino returned to play four months later<\/span>LAPRESSE<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The concern is on the other side because the Palace fears for one of its stars, Adam Wharton<\/strong>. He was not a starter, but he was came on in the second half. And it didn’t last long<\/strong>. In a random action he got hurt. He ended up being replaced<\/strong>although there remains duda<\/strong> if it was for one obvious injury or as a precaution<\/strong>. His absence in the Conference final would be a hard blow for him and his team and a point in favor of Rayo Vallecano.<\/p>\n

Arsenal then closed the season with another victory despite having all substitutes. Perhaps Mosquera and Calafiori were the only ones who could be in the game in Budapest. What is clear is that he has a good bench. Gabriel Jesus<\/strong> he showed it. The Brazilian was the one who opened the scoreboard<\/strong> after three clear chances.<\/p>\n

Also Madueke<\/strong>who scored already in the second half and after another rehearsed action from a corner. One more. The Englishman, however, retired with physical discomfort. It seems that it is not serious.<\/p>\n

The meeting had excitement at the end thanks to the both from Mateta<\/strong>which closed the gap in the discount, and another of Jeremy Pino<\/strong> a minute later, it ended canceled by the VAR <\/strong>due to an offside by Guessand, who touched his teammate’s shot.<\/p>\n

Then the ‘Gunner’ party started. 22 years later, they lifted the trophy again. In a week they want the Orejona.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
