Lately, Guangzhou Evergrande secured their seventh Chinese Super League title with two matches to spare, following a 64-point season that placed them nine points ahead of Shanghai SIPG after round 28. For fans following the journey closely via the Melbet App, the championship marked another historic chapter in the club’s dynasty. Under Luiz Felipe Scolari, who has now led the team for two and a half years, Evergrande collected an impressive seven trophies: three CSL titles, an AFC Champions League title, the FA Cup, and two Super Cups—including the most recent one earlier this year.

Though Scolari’s trophy count surpasses that of his predecessor Marcello Lippi, who won five titles during a similar period, the Brazilian coach has remained a more controversial figure. Back in 2015, he took charge in a difficult season and led the team to a domestic and continental double. However, after last season’s early exit in the AFC Champions League group stage, Scolari’s reputation began to decline, reaching a low point this season. Still, with seven titles, Scolari helped preserve what may be the final stage of Evergrande’s footballing empire. No matter the criticisms, he departs with the respect his accomplishments deserve.

Talks of his successor remain uncertain, with names like Thomas Tuchel and Carlo Ancelotti floating in the media. Following their title-clinching win, Evergrande held a short but heartfelt celebration on the pitch, where tens of thousands of fans cheered, chanting “We are the champions.” Giant screens inside the stadium displayed historical photos of coaches and players, bringing a wave of emotion over the crowd. Every member of the team and coaching staff entered the center circle, many with their children. It may have been Scolari’s final walk on the Tianhe turf.

In a lighter moment, Paulinho appeared on video, humorously asking in Mandarin, “Do you have confidence?”—a playful line that brought smiles through the tears. For Evergrande supporters, the club’s seventh league title was a moment of pride and vindication. Speaking at the stadium, Evergrande Group Chairman Xu Jiayin said the championship was especially meaningful, as it came shortly after the company launched its dual-headquarters strategy in Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

Celebrations were already in full swing by the second half. Just ten minutes after the restart, fans created a wave around the stadium. When Goulart scored in the 52nd minute, the title was practically sealed, especially with R&F already leading SIPG by two goals in Shanghai. Gao Lin opened the scoring for Evergrande, with Alan quickly adding another. Although Guizhou narrowed the gap to 2-1 before halftime, Evergrande wasn’t about to let another title slip away—having learned their lesson from near-misses in previous seasons. A trio of second-half goals put the result beyond doubt.

Since joining the Chinese top flight, Evergrande has never failed to win the league—a feat unmatched in CSL history. Veteran striker Gao Lin, who opened the scoring and has been part of all eight league titles, proved once again why he’s considered one of the club’s most valuable players. Substituted in late in the game, Muriqui scored the final goal of the evening. Having lifted the club’s first league title during their days in China League One, his goal carried symbolic weight—it may well be the last time he witnesses Evergrande crowned CSL champions.
