Original title: Premier League prosperous! Or twice in three years to win the European finals of the four teams, the world's first league is no longer controversial
After the quarter-finals of the Europa League, four Premier League teams advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League and Europa League, which means that the Premier League is expected to win the four places in the Champions League and Europa League finals for the second time since 2019, which may also mean that the battle for the world's first league has lost its suspense.
In the 2018-19 season, Liverpool and Tottenham will reach the Champions League final for the first time in their history. Arsenal and Chelsea will reach the Europa League final, with the former reaching the European final for the first time in 13 years, and the Blues after six years.
This is the first time in the history of the Champions League/Champions League and Europa League/UEFA Cup that four teams from the same country have taken four places in the final, which has made the British media say that "the Premier League is the world's first league" and "the Champions League and Europa League finals have become the 39th and 40th rounds of the Premier League".

Indeed, in the five seasons before 2019, La Liga teams swept 9 of the 10 Champions League and Europa League titles, and achieved five consecutive Champions League titles, but never achieved the feat of sweeping four places in the final.
Surprisingly, just two years later, Premier League teams are expected to replicate this feat again. In the quarter-finals of the Champions League and Europa League, including 4 Premier League teams, the Premier League occupies half of the country.
What's more, Premier League teams all have the upper hand in head-to-head records, with Chelsea unbeaten against Real Madrid three times, Manchester United unbeaten in three games against Paris, Arsenal unbeaten in four games against Villarreal and three clean sheets, and Manchester United with four wins, one draw and one defeat in six games against Roma, and a 7-1 victory.
Judging from the results of the meeting, it makes sense that the Premier League will take four places in the European final. The Englishman has even begun to look ahead to the prospect of Manchester United, Arsenal will meet in the Europa League final, Manchester United legend Scholes analyzed, "Arsenal's advantage is that they have the experience to win the final, after Mikel Arteta took charge, they beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final. However, they have not performed well this season, which will cause some concern. I think Manchester United will eventually win the title. ”
In Europe, Manchester United and Arsenal have only met twice, and the Red Devils have won two consecutive matches, scoring five goals and conceding only one. Similarly, Chelsea have only played against Manchester City twice in European competition, winning both games, scoring two goals and conceding none. Will this season's European competition end with the Blues winning the Champions League and Manchester United winning the Europa League?
If it can take four places in the European final for the second time in three years, the Premier League's position as the world's No. 1 league will be more secure. When Barça and Real Madrid ushered in a painful replacement, the Premier League relied on its strong overall strength to shake off La Liga, the number one competitor.
