The most powerful football day in May! Above all – in the “Championship”

A very emotional weekend: we said goodbye to Jikia and Klopp, we saw many goals in the RPL and we congratulated Guardiola on the title. And also La Liga!
Phew! Have you exhaled? What do you think of today’s football match? We can’t remember so many stories and events that fit into just 12 hours this May. Surely you have missed something, that’s why we have prepared a summary for you.
It all started in Yekaterinburg. “Ural” lost to “Orenburg” 0:1 and 1:3, but in the end they managed to draw! We love this type of survival combat.
It was great:
What a comeback spectacle for Ural! Goncharenko seems impossible to sink
Next up are Spartak and Rubin. It was a party named after George Dzhikia. His last game at his home was Spartak. He came out with the captain’s armband and left to a great applause from the stands and his teammates. Spartak scored three, conceded one after the captain left and won. And we have several important materials about this victory.
From Moscow to Rostov-on-Don. There it seemed that we would see another comeback from Sergei Ignashevich’s Baltika, but that was not the case. Now Kaliningrad must wait for the failures of Fakel and Pari NN and beat Lokomotiv.
“Rostov” surprised?
Now only a miracle can help Baltika.
And the latest on Russian affairs: Zenit, as if not in crisis, took the field in Grozny and scored five! Or rather, Cassierra scored five points, and this is a historic achievement. Now Mateo has 21 goals in the RPL this season and Zenit has every chance of winning gold. To do this it is necessary to beat Rostov at home and hope that Krasnodar beats Dinamo (also at home).
Round number 30 will be great:
This has never happened in the history of the RPL. Zenit is in the “golden” race thanks to Cassierra’s FIVE goals!
Now to England. Here the focus was mainly on three matches: City vs West Ham, Arsenal vs Everton and Liverpool vs Wolverhampton. The champion’s intrigue, or as his colleague Grigory Telingater called it, “the affair,” was short-lived. City coincidentally beat West Ham and took their fourth consecutive gold. Arsenal’s victory no longer affected anything.
Yes, this was expected. But this doesn’t make it any less beautiful:
And one more historical fact. You can even shout: HISTORIC. Jurgen Klopp’s last game for Liverpool. A sea of tears and a sea of smiles. It’s hard to find words here. We broadcast the match live with our correspondent Philip Kudryavtsev at Anfield.
This is not just a Liverpool legend, he is a football legend:
And Spain, of course. Here Sociedad beat Betis in the fight for a place in the Europa League. Barça took the silver quite casually, but in the Real Madrid match there was a spectacle with eight (!) goals and poker (!!) by Sørloth.
