Bucharest erupted in celebration as FCSB secured their long-awaited Liga I title, defeating Universitatea Craiova 2-1 in a tense final match. The victory, coupled with CFR Cluj's surprising 1-1 draw against Rapid București, meant FCSB finished one point clear at the top.
Manager Elias Charalambous praised his team's resilience: \"This is what we've worked for all season. The pressure was immense, but the players showed incredible character. To win it like this, on the last day, makes it even sweeter.\" Striker Florinel Coman, who scored the decisive goal, added, \"The fans pushed us through. This title is for them.\"
CFR Cluj, who had led for much of the season, will be left to rue missed opportunities. Their draw against Rapid saw them surrender the lead in the dying minutes, a cruel twist of fate after a valiant campaign. The relegation battle also provided its share of drama, with UTA Arad narrowly escaping the drop zone at the expense of FC Voluntari, who will now face a playoff.
