Shocking from Chelsea again but no worries, we have to win Europa league now and hope City win out. Doesn't look good though

Anyone knows the record for fewest games lost while coming in 2nd in the league? I'm 99% certain there has never been a team in any of the big leagues that lost only 1 match all season that ended up not winning it. That would be unprecedented.

I looked around a bit, some of the closest battles:

Bundesliga season 99/00: Bayer Leverkusen finished 2nd equal in points (73) with eventual winners Bayern München with a record of 21w 10d 3l

Premier League season 11/12: Manchester City wins over Manchester United by goal difference, both teams finished the season with 89 points and a record of 28-5-5.

La Liga season 09/10, Real Madrid finished 2nd with 96 points and only 4 losses, Barcelona won that year with 99 points and one loss. In the same year, Ajax came in 2nd behind Twente in Eredivise with 85 points and three losses, losing out by one point.

ye this season is weird in many ways
16 point jump from 2nd to 3rd, 16 point jump from 6th to 7th, 11 point jump from 7th to 16th. only 58 draws total from all games played (la liga, ligue 1 and serie a, other top leagues with 20 teams, have 94 94 and 89 with fewer games played)
and liverpool or city will prolly get second place with a score high enough to win every season of PL except two. (or even one, if they both win all remaining games.)

Could this finally be Liverpool's year? The games left should be easy, I don't see them dropping points. So it's all on City that have to play Tottenham and United next. Now I really want to see a City Liverpool final in the CL, that'd be epic.

If Tottenham and ManU manage to tie or beat City then all it takes is Liverpool to fall on their face which always happens. Though I though Liverpool an extra game turns out, according to NBC's graphic, City has one in hand.

No matter what happens the 2nd place will finish on 95 points at least, which is absolutely sick and would have been enough to win all PLs bar 1 or 2.

The wolves game is a bit spooky for Liverpool. Wolves just seem to have their way vs top 6 teams and combined with the pressure of the season deciding game that could get very tense.

even if mancity wins all remaining games, we cannot say that liverpool wasted the trophy when mancity made a 18-0-1 (54pts) run at 2nd leg. if liverpool wins all remaining games, they are at 14-4-1 (46pts).

there's nothing given about pool beating a desperate cardiff away or a very good wolves at home. Games live their own lives and far more surprising things have happened than a team like liverpool losing a game like that. And they're an unproven bunch, still dunno if they handle the pressure of a single decisive game. I mean it's also possible that both pool and city win all their remaining games, but I don't think that happens more than like, 25% of the time- I think it's more likely that both teams drop points than that neither team does.

Like, the 13/14 season where Gerrard slipped vs Chelsea, that wasn't the worst collapse at all. In the game after, they were leading 3-0 against crystal palace until the 79th minute, but then conceded 3 goals in 9 minutes. Crazy stuff happens.

But yea also agreed with the point that either way, the season has to be defined as a pretty massive success- for both liverpool and city. (Unless they go and do something like lose 3 of the remaining 4 games, in which case it ends up merely being 'pretty good'. )
If Liverpool gets 95+ points and get second place, their performance wasn't the problem, it's just bad luck to compete against the best team of the premier league era. The highest point tallies achieved by the winner of the different seasons (over what, 27 seasons?) has been 100, 95 and 91, I think the average is 86 or so. Getting to 95 and not winning is just unfortunate..

I think they have about a 30-40% chance to win either, 5-10% to win both.

I would heavily rate Liverpool still tbh

I genuinely think they should be favorites to win atleast the PL. CL has to high level opponents to say for sure.

City is sure to drop points to my mind, and as desperate as the teams playing Liverpool may be.

1) They just arent very good
2) This Liverpool team has just so many weapons even an offday they will probably pull through.

City has less margin for off days in their current run in and I have no doubt that both teams will have an off game a or maybe even 2 as you get to the tail end.

It is crazy that despite La Liga tittle being boring this year, the rest of the league is one of the most interesting in years.

Relegation battle is between 7 teams right now, 14th is within 3 points of relegation and the EL race is on with between 4-9 and the CL race is on 4-8.
