Leeds United chairman Parag Marathe says this season’s Championship champions want to be “one of the best clubs in Europe” เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา during their open-top bus parade to celebrate their title triumph.
On Monday, the city centre came to a halt as Daniel Farke‘s side celebrated on the streets with supporters.
Leeds City Council initially estimated that 150,000 people turned out after Saturday’s victory at Plymouth on the final day of the season saw them beat newly-promoted Burnley to win the Premier League title. The Whites
returned to the Premier League after two years of relegation and Marathe has declared his ambitions grand.
Owners 49ers Enterprises are set to take full ownership of Leeds in July 2023 and Marathe said: “I don’t think anyone knew this was going to be easy. It’s very difficult to do. “
“Two years to get here but all the hard work and the hard work has made it all the more worthwhile and made today so special. I hope I’ll never forget this moment. I want to live this moment as much as I can.
“This is a journey. This is not the end. We have to keep going. This is what Leeds are all about. We’ll have some difficulties. But we will get where we want to go and we will be one of the best clubs in Europe.””
The city centre roads were closed at 8am and supporters gathered for several hours. Before the players’ bus start its journey up Wellington Road at 1pm, towards City Square. And then along Headrow to Town Hall,
the short route took more than two hours. With fans lining the streets, gathering on balconies, climbing trees, lampposts and traffic lights to get a better view.
Both Leeds and Burnley ended the season with 100 points. The first time two Championship sides have reached that milestone in the same campaign.
The Peacocks last won promotion to the top flight under Marcelo Bielsa in 2020. But without the celebrations due to the Covid-19 crisis and the success under Daniel Farke. This is the first time Leeds have celebrated promotion with their fans since 1990.
