A year full of dark horses! These four teams successfully ended the championship drought, Crystal Palace broke eggs, and this team won the championship again in 1991!

The European football team this season is about to usher in a finale. Looking back on all the events this year, it has to be said to be a season full of dark horses. AC Milan, Manchester City, Liverpool and other giant teams have all failed unexpectedly in the domestic cup matches, and their opponents are all unknown small ball markets. For these teams, they not only won the championship, but also broke the long-term championship drought. One of them has not even won any championship in 1991, so this season is destined to be a season that has been in history. Let’s take a look at which dark horse teams have completed the counterattack and how they won the championship!

1. FA Cup champion

Team: Crystal Palace

Final score: Crystal Palace 1:0 Manchester City

First of all, let's introduce this year's FA Cup champion Crystal Palace. This team was founded in 1905. Although it has a team history of more than a century, they have been spectators of the championship for a long time in London. After all, there are too many teams in London that can stand out. Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are all top teams in the Premier League. The biggest impression of this team among fans is probably the first team that Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi went abroad. Looking back at their honors, only a few secondary league champions can be won. The FA Cup has reached one final before and failed to win the championship. Therefore, after entering Wembley Stadium this year, the players and fans of Crystal Palace are looking forward to winning the top league championship for the first time. This season, they performed stably in the league and maintained their 12th place, without the risk of relegation, so they are also focusing on the FA Cup schedule. The team, including Mattha, Saar and Eze, have scored in double digits this year. Especially Eze, the 26-year-old England international, has contributed 13 goals and 12 assists this season, and is the best core of the team. In the final against Manchester City, it was his only goal that secured the victory. In addition, Dean Henderson scored high and low on the defensive end, and finally defeated Manchester City in an upset and won the title of the first top English event in team history.

2. League Cup champion team: Newcastle United

Final score: Newcastle United 2:1 Liverpool

Compared with Crystal Palace, Newcastle United has had a glorious era. They were one of the strong teams in the early days of English football history. In the first 27 years of the early 20th century, they won four top league championships. Moreover, they have made many achievements in the FA Cup field, and they had 6 FA Cup championships before 1955. Later, they also won the Expo Cup championship in 1969, which is the predecessor of the Europa League, which was their only European championship. In addition, superstars such as Alan Hiller and Kevin Keegan were born in the team's history, but unfortunately the financial crisis has affected the team a huge impact. It was not until recent years that some vitality was recovered, and the Saudi consortium acquired the team, Newcastle finally began a full revival. This season, Newcastle beats many giants and is currently ranked third in the league, and has a great hope of returning to the Champions League. The team's lineup is also very good this year. Swedish striker Isaac has contributed 27 goals and 6 assists, and Anthony Gordon has also contributed 9 goals and 6 assists. Guimaraes, Tonali and Murphy in the midfield worked together to send 20 goals and 25 assists, and the connection between the midfield and frontcourt was very good. And on this year's League Cup stage, they defeated their strong rival Liverpool with a score of 2:1, not only ending the embarrassing record of 10 years of unwinding against Liverpool, but also won the top-level championship again after 70 years, which is likely to be just the first step in their revival.

3. Italian Cup champion

Team: Bologna

Final score: Newcastle United 1:0 AC Milan

Come to the Italian football arena again. Bologna, which also has a century-old history, has emerged again this year. In fact, in the Serie A field in the early years, Bologna was once the top team that dominated the side. In 1925, they won the first Serie A championship in team history after only 16 years of founding. Since then, they have won the Serie A championship five times and have won the China-Europe Cup championship. And in 1970, they won the Italian Cup for the first time, completing a breakthrough in the Cup championship in team history. Although due to the financial crisis and the players have been discovered one after another, Bologna has resisted the pressure and has not been relegated since returning to Serie A in 2014-15. This season, they are firmly ranked eighth in the league and are basically in a state of no desires and no desires, so they focus on the cup. On the forward line, Osolini is the team's number one shooter, and has scored 16 goals and 4 assists. However, the one who helped the team win the championship this time was Swiss striker Endoye. He scored the only goal in the game and finally successfully helped the team defeat Milan in an upset manner. It was also the second time that he helped the team win the top tournament championship after 51 years.

4. Dutch Cup champion

Winning Team: Forward Eagles

Final Score: Forward Eagles 5:3 Alkmaar (Punishment Battle)

Finally, let's introduce this year's Dutch Cup champion. They are the unknown Forward Eagles Club. Since most fans do not have many championships in the Eredivisie event, they do not have much knowledge of Forward Eagles. Although it is not a traditional giant like Ajax and Eindhoven, the Eagles have actually contributed a lot to Dutch football. Members of the Dutch national team such as Mark Orwimas, Paul Boswell, and Cronkamp are all from the youth training camp of the Eagles. After becoming famous here, they have received the attention of top clubs.. In their century-old team history, they have also won the championship of the Eredivisie four times, which is already a very impressive achievement for a small football market. This season, they also had a lot of upsets in the Dutch Cup, especially in the two rounds of defeating Eindhoven, which also made the fans very happy. In the final, they lived up to expectations and eventually defeated Alkmaar through a penalty shootout and won the first Dutch Cup championship in team history. At the same time, this is also their first top event champion since 1991, which can be said to be of great significance.
