Shanghai Shenhua tops, Guangzhou FC in relegation.

Shanghai Shenhua and Guangzhou FC have both confirmed their places in the Chinese Super League's bottom two positions after the final round of matches on Sunday.

Shanghai Shenhua, who had been relegated last season, secured their place in the top flight for another year by defeating Changchun Yatai 2-1 at home. The victory was the club's second consecutive win against their local rivals and saw them move up to seventh position in the table.

Meanwhile, Guangzhou FC, who finished as runners-up in the previous season, were unable to secure their survival and were relegated once again. The team's defeat to Shanghai SIPG 2-1 at home ensured that they will play in the Chinese Championship next season.

The relegation of Guangzhou FC has been a disappointment for fans and players alike, especially given the team's recent success in the league. However, the club has already announced plans to rebuild and improve its squad ahead of the new season.

The relegation of Shanghai Shenhua also comes as a blow to the club, which had been looking to bounce back from a poor campaign last season. Despite securing their spot in the top flight this season, the club will now focus on improving its performances and building a stronger team going forward.

Overall, it is clear that both teams will need to work hard if they want to avoid relegation in the future. With the new season just around the corner, it remains to be seen how these clubs will fare and what changes they will make to ensure their survival.
