The victory of CFR Cluj in front of the rival “U” (1-0) postponed the title holiday of FCSB. The red-blue team is about to win the second champion trophy. Everything can be decided in the 8th round of the play-off.
FCSB could be a champion from this round, if he defeated Dinamo, and CFR Cluj and U Cluj were finishing. As Dan Petrescu's band imposed on Saturday in Gruia, FCSB cannot celebrate the tile in front of the great rival. But it doesn't seem to have much to wait.

How FCSB champion comes out
FCSB also needs 5 points to take the title mathematically, regardless of the results of the rivals. Elias Charalambous's students can be the next round champions, if I beat Dinamo for months and if in the next stage they win on U Cluj's land.
With two victories, red-blue would reach 48 points. While CFR Cluj, the 2nd place, would reach 42 points, if it beats a future round at Craiova University. The two rivals would be separated by 6 points, but in equal FCSB is advantageous, because it entered with more points in the play-off: 28 vs. 27.
There is also a scenario in which FCSB will take the championship next step. If CFR Cluj does not beat Craiova University, the red-blue team needs three points. I mean, at least one victory in the matches with Dinamo and U Cluj.
- If CFR Cluj and Craiova University make equal, the Clujians reach 39 points, the Oltenians at 37. FCSB, with a victory with Dinamo or U Cluj, would have 45. There would be 6 points between the first two ranked, and FCSB would have an advantage again.
- If Craiova University beats CFR Cluj, Rădoi's band would have 39 points. FCSB, with a victory with Dinamo or U Cluj, would have 45. And again, the red-blue would be benefited due to the larger number of points they entered the play-off: 28 vs. 26.
The live-off ranking
FCSB would receive the trophy in the 9th stage
Even if the next round will come out, FCSB will receive the title against the University of Craiova. The match will be played in the 9th of the play-off on the National Arena. And the red-blue band is expecting a full stadium.
Most likely, the match will be played on Saturday, May 17, because Sunday (May 18) will take place the second tour of the presidential elections.
When certain arbitration decisions are against us, I always say that the referees are people and they are wrong. We are not here because of the arbitration. If someone believes something else makes a big mistake. To respect the players, it is not fair to them to tell someone that they are here because of the arbitration!
The arbitration cost us new points. No one helped us to be here, we are here because the players had very good performances. If someone else believes something else, make a big mistake.
