"The God of the Round" Anthony encountered obstacles. Why did the Premier League team "beat" the La Liga team again?

In the European Cup final on May 29, Brazilian star Anthony, who has grown into the offensive soul of Real Betis, was the focus, but unfortunately he was not able to turn the tide. Anthony has the opportunity to become the double champion of the Europa League and Europa League this season, but in the end he only won two runner-ups.

This year, in the winter transfer window, Anthony, who was frustrated at Manchester United, joined Real Betis on loan. He can only draw circles in the Premier League but not in the European Cup, and he passed and shot well in La Liga and European Cup, and was nicknamed "Yuan Shen" by fans. Anthony's performance at Manchester United was sluggish, and he seemed to be lacking in confidence whether it was out, passing or shooting, and to a large extent he could not adapt to the high-intensity confrontation in the Premier League. When it comes to the La Liga team that pays more attention to technical skills, Anthony is in a hurry and returns to the Brazilian national team with his outstanding performance at Betis.

But when facing the familiar Premier League powerhouse Chelsea in the Europa League final, Anthony seemed to have returned to the confusion he was at Manchester United. Therefore, more and more fans are becoming more and more inclined to the Premier League on which is the world's number one league.

This season, in three levels of European competitions, the Premier League has a crushing trend against La Liga. The Premier League has both physical confrontation and technology and speed, and the technical advantages of La Liga teams no longer exist. In the quarter-finals of the Champions League, defending champion Real Madrid lost 0-3 away in the first leg to Arsenal. If goalkeeper Courtois had not performed bravely, Real Madrid might have lost with a bigger score. Many fans believe in Real Madrid's Champions League genes and believe that Real Madrid can complete a big reversal. As a result, Real Madrid lost to Arsenal 1-2 again in the second leg at home.

Europa League runner-up Manchester United performed poorly in the Premier League this season, with 42 points and 15th ranking both the worst in the Premier League in team history, but this Manchester United can "beat" La Liga teams in the UEFA Cup. In the 1/8 final, Manchester United eliminated Real Sociedad with a total score of 5-2 in two rounds. In the semi-finals, Manchester United eliminated Bilbao 7-1 with a total score, and conquered Bilbao's "devil's home court" 3-0 in the first leg. Bilbao's sluggish face at home was shocking.

Spain won the European Cup with a full record last year and defeated England 2-1 in the final. Many Spanish internationals are from Bilbao and Real Sociedad. The "Matador" won the European Cup, which is largely dependent on the skills of Barcelona players and the toughness and tenacity of Bilbao and Real Sociedad players. However, in the Europa League, these two La Liga teams, known for their toughness, tasted a crushing defeat similar to Real Madrid.

Of course, the national team and the league cannot be equated. Most of the giant clubs have many high-level foreign players, and Spain and England will support each other. In this European Cup final, Chelsea left-back Cucurella, who defended "God of the Round" Anthony, is the Spanish international. Real Madrid became the double champion of the Champions League and La Liga last season, and England star Bellingham made great contributions.

Real Madrid has changed coaches, Alonso replaces Ancelotti. In order to welcome the new coach, club chairman Florentino is expected to buy and buy in the transfer market this summer. The famous coach Frick was very successful in his first season in coaching Barcelona. La Macia's youth training players shined. Barcelona became the "little triple champion" in La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup. He lost to Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-finals and will definitely hope to win the championship in the Champions League next season. Next season, the confrontation between the Premier League and La Liga will still be an important highlight.
