BERLIN—To anyone familiar with the England national soccer team’s long and tortured history of humiliations and pratfalls, the squad that will play in Sunday’s European Championship final on Sunday has been completely unrecognizable. The close calls have gone their way. They have won penalty shootouts.

Manchester City has clinched the Premier League and has become the only club to win four back-to-back titles. Arsenal has once again finished second, Liverpool at third, Chelsea are at sixth and Manchester United are at eighth position. After a hard-fought season, a staggering amount of money was up for grab. Premier League champions Manchester City has pocketed £62.3 million. Runner-up Arsenal got £59.1 million and Liverpool received £56 million. Fourth placed Aston Villa were handed over £52.9 million.

Manchester City are heading into the Premier League's final day of the season as firm favourites to lift the coveted trophy. Arsenal will hope for a miracle. City have 88 points and a plus 60 goal difference. Arsenal have 86 points and a plus 61 goal difference. If City wins against West Ham, they will lift the trophy and the club will become the first team to win four consecutive titles since the Premier League became England's top division in 1992. However, if they draw or lose, and Arsenal win against Everton, then trophy will head to the iconic London club. Interestingly, both City and Arsenal's games are on home ground.

Manchester City is bidding to make history. Jurgen Klopp is bidding farewell. The English Premier League is heading toward a dramatic and emotional finale on Sunday, with the title race between Man City — seeking an unprecedented fourth straight top-flight championship — and Arsenal going to the wire and taking centre stage on an afternoon when goals and tears usually flow. Many of those tears will likely come at Anfield where Klopp, the eccentric German who has bestrode the league for nearly nine years with his heavy-metal football and big grin, takes charge of his last game at Liverpool. Klopp is definitely leaving. For other managers, the future is more uncertain.

The relegation tussle still involves three. And the contest for the remaining European qualification positions contains as many as five.

Mikel Arteta and Ange Postecoglou might be able to settle in and discuss a few shared ideas. Both have worked in the City Football Group structure, which reflects how much the Abu Dhabi-owned champions shape the wider game. You can even look at how a former Manchester City player is joint top scorer with a current Manchester City player. There probably hasn’t been this extent of pure football influence since Barcelona fostered an entire generation of coaches from the early 2000s on. That is no coincidence since the City project directly sought to appropriate the entire Camp Nou ideology. This was one of the points of pursuing Pep Guardiola for so long. A core of that philosophy, which seems so standard now but was once revolutionary, is persisting with the system regardless of what happens around you — or to you. You keep the faith. You trust the process. Arteta and Postecoglou have exemplified this, if from alternative interpretations of the tactics.
