The final round of the La Liga was played on the afternoon of May 21, but it was not the same time the kickoff.

Barcelona's game is the first, perhaps because they successfully reached the Champions League final, so the Spanish Football Association specifically asked them to complete the league this season first and devote themselves to preparing for the Champions League final.

Guardiola chose to let more substitutes participate in the game, but Messi started.

In the end, Barcelona defeated Malaga 4-1 away, and Messi scored his second goal for the team.

He was substituted in the 77th minute. Guardiola was already preparing for the Champions League final, allowing an important player like Messi to leave the court early and avoid the possibility of injury.

Messi's goal is also his 33rd goal in the league this season. Of course, he still cannot compare to Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored 41 goals, and ranked second in the league's scorer list.

The last round of the Premier League kicked off at the same time, and on the afternoon of May 22, it ended one day later than La Liga.

Manchester City challenged Bolton away.

In this game, Benitez made some adjustments to the starting lineup. Like Guardiola, he did not rank the strongest lineup, but Rongguang and Ibrahimovic still started.

With the goals of the two of them, Manchester City beat Bolton 2-0 away, really ending the season's league with an unbeaten record.

At the same time, this is their 55th consecutive league unbeaten!

But everyone did not celebrate because the next one was the Champions League final.

In the face of the Champions League final, what kind of unbeaten league and what 55-game unbeaten record are not that important now...

The goal that Rongguang scored in the game was also his 37th league goal this season.

He is still the Golden Boot of the Premier League, but in the competition for the Golden Boot of Europe, he lost to Cristiano Ronaldo, who is desperately supporting the whole team.

However, Rongguang is not thinking about the European Golden Boots now. He has won a lot of European Golden Boots, and what he cares more about now is the Champions League.

Thirty-seven goals are already the highest score in his career league.

The Premier League and La Liga all ended. As the two teams entered the Champions League preparations, the entire European football world also entered the Champions League time.

The media are discussing the preparations for the two teams in the Champions League final, focusing on the status of the two leading stars Rong Guang and Messi, and worrying about the injuries in the teams of both sides.

From the end of the Premier League, there are still six days left before the Champions League final, which is about a week.

The Premier League will end one day later than the La Liga, so Manchester City will also prepare for a day less than Barcelona.

However, the Champions League final this season is held at the Wembley Stadium in England, which is located in London. It is easier for Manchester City to go to London than Barcelona to come to London, and you can also suffer less from the hard work of traveling.

But Barcelona had a solution. After just ended the league, they did not celebrate the league championship, so they went north together and came to London a week in advance. They stayed in a local five-star hotel and borrowed Arsenal's training base for training. They did not borrow Chelsea's training base because they knew that Chelsea would definitely not lend them the training base. Since Mourinho took office, Chelsea and Barcelona have met in the Champions League many times, and each time they played Mars everywhere, and the hatred between the two sides has accumulated year by year. Finally, they reached their peak in the 2008-2009 season.

In the Champions League quarter-finals, Barcelona's away game against Chelsea was full of controversy. Chelsea still are very dissatisfied with Barcelona. How could they lend their training base to Barcelona to prepare for the Champions League final?

Although Arsenal's training base is a little far from the Wembley Stadium, it is already Barcelona's best choice in London - Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham, and West Ham United's training base European champions obviously look down on...

Speaking of this, the conditions for Barcelona's training camp are actually better than those of Manchester City.

Manchester City did not come to London for training in advance. On the one hand, they were in the same country, so there was no need to go in advance. On the other hand, there was no good conditions for Manchester City to train in London. Arsenal, Chelsea and Mann had a grudge, so they would not be willing to help Manchester City. Similarly, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United, Fulham and Fulham were far less training bases than Manchester City's training bases. Instead of going to an unfamiliar training base to adapt to the venue, it would be better to be in your own Carrington.

Manchester City just decided to set off for London two days before the finals, and then stay in a hotel in London to adapt to the turf of Wembley Stadium.

Before the game, another news came that excited Manchester City players, that is, the Abu Dhabi consortium behind Manchester City club announced that if Manchester City can eventually win the Champions League, each player in Manchester City will receive a prize of at least one million pounds!

As soon as this news came out, it shocked the whole of Europe and then spread all over the world, scaring fans all over the world to the point of being terrified.

What is this concept?

A bonus of one million pounds is usually added to the description of such an attribution like "team sharing".

And not all the wealthy teams can get it. Most of them are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and can be considered as wealthy and generous, and the boss is generous.

After Glory helped Bayern Munich win the Champions League, Bayern Munich gave a prize money plan of 500,000 euros per person, which is half that of Manchester City.

Real Madrid, which has been pursuing the tenth championship, set the standard for winning the Champions League championship is 400,000 euros per person, which is worse than Bayern Munich. This may explain why Real Madrid has not won the tenth championship in the Champions League so far?

Perhaps Messi alone can compare with Manchester City today. After Barcelona won the championship in 2009, Messi won the team's highest 1.15 million euros, which is close to 1 million pounds. But you should know that Messi is the well-deserved hero of Barcelona's championship, and Manchester City's one million prize is the minimum standard, which means that a substitute player in Manchester City won a little more bonus than Messi... How can this really make Messi feel?

Even the "water dispenser guard" can get a bonus of one million pounds, which is simply easy to make...

Some players joked about Manchester City's bonus plan on their personal social networks, saying that they didn't know if Manchester City still wants people now? They are willing to join for free...

However, Manchester City has received more criticism for doing this.

Many media believe that Manchester City's move is suspected of deliberately showing off their wealth, and where did the bonus they took out separately come from? Does their approach violate the financial fairness policy that Platini will implement in European football?

Even some media that support Manchester City believe that the Abu Dhabi consortium is simply "pig teammates". Because this huge bonus has attracted everyone's attention, it has weakened the value of players' efforts. Even if Manchester City wins the championship, it will be considered by the public to be money-making and it will be difficult to convince the public.

If we had not given this amazing bonus or the amount of bonuses was set in line with the mainstream rules, then Manchester City won the championship and I'm afraid no one would find any fault. Now doing so will make its victory seem less convincing.

They didn't understand why the Abu Dhabi consortium had to make a spoil and show their presence.

"...The Middle Eastern people are showing off their oil wealth again... To be honest, every time they do this, my disgust for Manchester City deepens a little more... Manchester City originally performed very well this season and deserves everyone's respect and love, but now they do this, which makes people feel disgusted with eating flies, and the flies are still alive!"

On a TV show, a guest vomited toward the TV camera.

"Can you be willful if you have money? Can you trample on our dignity if you have money? I think the Abu Dhabi consortium's bonus decision is to mock the poor and tell them that you are not as rich as I am! I can use whatever I want, and the poor cannot control it! But I want to say that the football world is really not omnipotent! Although I am an Englishman, I hope Barcelona will win the championship now!"

In a radio program, an enthusiastic listener called into the hotline and expressed his attitude indignation.

On social networks, discussions about this bonus are even more rampant.

Countless people express their views in the online world. Because of the lack of supervision, most of them are extreme and rich in various swear words.

Basically, they are cursing Manchester City, and there are even those stars here.

Cruyff also wrote an article in the media to criticize Manchester City's approach: "This is why I have never liked Manchester City. No matter how good their performance is, I will not like them. Because they are enemies of European football! If Manchester City wins the Champions League, it is equivalent to telling the whole world that the most valuable champion in the world can also be customized by money! As long as you have money, you can insult and trample on other teams that have worked hard to win this championship. As long as you have money, you can come to the Champions League for a while! As long as you have money, there is nothing that cannot be done... If Manchester City really wins the championship in the end, then I want to say that this is too unfortunate. This will be the darkest day in European football, because Manchester City's success means a regression in European football!"

This article is stern, and it can be seen that Cruyff was very excited when he wrote it.

With his position in European football, this article attracted widespread attention as soon as it was released.
