The 54 for the match was the biggest "In your face", that MvG could have give to the crowd in the SF! Great moment, a deserved winner. :)

[@cm8559]

Warst du nicht der, der MvG die ganze Zeit kritisiert hat?😅

[@emanuel7215]

@@cm8559 Ja. War lange ein echter MvG Hater haha Bis ich ihn 2022 in München Live gesehen habe :) da wurde er mir sympathischer. Seit dem WGP 2022 mag ich MvG, bin jetzt kein Fan, aber ich mag ihn gerne ^^ auf jeden fall ist er mir am Liebsten vom allen Top 10 Spielern aktuell. Maybe gleichauf mit Cross. Aber sonst mag ich ihn am Meisten denke ich.

[@cm8559]

@@emanuel7215 So ist halt die deutsche Gesellschaft… Traurig aber wahr. Oft kommen Leute arrogant rüber aber dann wenn man sie vielleicht mal getroffen hat oder sich mehr mit ihnen auseinandergesetzt hat ist das doch ganz anders als man gedacht hat. Deswegen niemals vorurteilen, vorallem nicht Leute die man nicht kennt. Aber Deutschland wird sich leider nie ändern und deswegen sind wir das unbeliebteste Land😅

A record-breaking 7TH PREMIER LEAGUE TITLE FOR MVG! 13:39 And here's Smith showing great sportsmanship trying to shush the crowd as MvG was about to wrap up the 8 (and failing nonetheless)

[@Veryverydrunk]

MVG hitting 170 straight after Price refused was the turning point imo. Unbelievable standard from both players

[@Timstack435]

And the 128 just made it even better

[@jelleschrans2433]

MvG at his best. Always steps up at the moments he needs to.

Congratulations to MvG on yet another premier league title. I was rooting for Price tonight, would’ve been nice to see somebody different win the premier league but MvG is just unstoppable! 🇳🇱🏆

Well done to Michael van gerwen and gerwyn price and Michael smith and Johnny Clayton 🎉🎉

[@thegamingconsultant.8970]

Commas left the chat

[@michaeltree3241]

Gutted for Gerwyn, was keeping up with the pace of MVG until Michael just went absolute beast mode. That 170 absolutely fucked gerwyn mentally and that was definitely the turning point

[@hoyit]

@stuxnet750 “Keeping up with the pace” he said. And that 170 was a killer. Price hit that 180 right before and was feeling good. Probably thinking he was gonna win the leg. 8 seconds later he’s down 5-2 instead of 4-3. That’s mentally jarring. MVG just has this thing where when he’s there, his opponents know they aren’t going to win.

[@bengilliam7877]

​@stuxnet750 averaging lower over a whole game doesn't mean he wasn't keeping up at any point...

[@huepix]

Thought Price may have wrestled back the initiative with that 167, but MVG was relentless. When he plays like that, he's very very hard to beat.

[@Zarkava8]

Well done MVG 🏆 👑

[@grahamalford7762]

When mvg finishes well no one beats him simple as!!

[@Nose02]

Even though it didn’t go their way tonight, big respect to Johnny Clayton, Michael Smith and Gerwyn Price. It’s some task even getting to this stage. They’ve done themselves proud. Congrats to MVG for winning it. He was phenomenal.

[@LOLMAN9538]

This PL season was everything you could have asked for and a whole lot more. All 8 players put their heart and soul into this tournament, and in the end, it is Mighty Mike who lives up to his nickname once again. Congrats to MVG on a 2nd consecutive and record-breaking 7th overall PL title!

[@DerGermm]

That 170 finish was pure magic.

[@themarketm8382]

I knew prime MVG was back when he was hitting his opponents' finishes for fun. That 170 he hit that Price was left and the 170 to follow, it was eerily like the old days.

[@mickeyindahouse12]

Astonishing and especially the way how he did it. Just when it mattered. But I'm sure he can play this level every time if he keeps practising as much as possible.

[@omwu1307]

Greatest of all time. He doesn't need 17 world titles. No one has of will ever come close to PRIME MVG LEVEL. Today we've seen a MvG that came close to that level. Sadly he's not as consistent as he was years ago but hopefully that will come again. When he's in this zone with a bit more doubles hit, no one will beat him.😂

[@mccann82]

Apart from Taylor. Multiple times and better.

[@sixtrumpetwarnings]

he needs 17 world tiiles.

[@boterhammetpindakaashagelslag]

​@@sixtrumpetwarningscan not and never will be done. Today's field is much too strong for it to be achieved. Don't forget most of Taylor's titles were won in Mickey Mouse competition...

[@MrLeast5000]

​@@sixtrumpetwarnings if there is just manley, harrington, painter and part around then MVG would manage to get 30 world titles.

[@dr.biscuits]

Phil at his very, very best..would not live week in, week out with the standard today. The top players today are so much better than what Taylor faced. Taylor rubbed shoulders with a few toward the end, but the likes of Price, MvG, Smith and Clayton would eat him for breakfast today.

[@Mackem496]

Congrats to MVG, on fire he was!

[@simOB1887]

Wow MVG was on another level today.. didn't see that coming.

[@joebly5641]

To carry that average that long just shows he still is amazing . Not my favorite but can’t deny the skill. Bravo sir

[@Chrizz_-kv5eq]

The 139 going for the bull to leave 170 and actually finish that when price is on 46 after a 180 is astonishing at 18:33

[@anthonymatute6057]

Mvg has done it again! Now he has surpassed Phil Taylor’s premier league winning record with 7 wins now! Mvg has truly played at his very best tonight! I feel like he could be back to his winning ways again! Just imagine 7 days ago, he had a shoulder injury and everyone was worrying he wouldn’t play in finals night. And look at him now. You would never believe he would win the title this especially after his shoulder injury, but look at him now! He is a winner yet again!

[@THP999]

Michael has never been my fav player because I usually go for the underdog. But since his recent frailties my admiration for him has grown shedloads. He's not as dominant as there are more players throwing huge numbers, but his mental strength is still to be reckoned with. I think Price might be better off as the villain too.

[@sietzeoosterhuis9340]

Simply the best!! Congratulations MVG!!

[@tomtomufc542]

Wow i wasn't expecting that tbh,which is mad because its MVG,but he did say its about how you play on the final night,absolute Darts royalty,and to do it against Smith the number 1 seed and Price who is on fire at the moment,take a bow MVG greatest darts player ever.

[@Mork007]

MVG was incredible. At his best, nobody will keep with him including Price. Great way to win the PL, beat the world number 1 then smash Price who just came off a smashing of Clayton. Well done.

[@yusufluhar5881]

Wow I’m speechless, that is sublime what I’ve just witnessed. 4 men came today to lift the Premier League and only one could win it. Firstly in the battle of the two Welshman, Price was simply too good for Clayton, such a fantastic performance that was that u think it’s hard to top that, his D10 after missing Tops was just sublime and then to finish with that 131 finish was just the icing on the cake. Then in the battle of the 2 Michaels, we all knew it’s gonna be a superb match and until 2-2 it seemed brilliant and then MVG just goes crazy and leads goes up a double break. It looked like Smith couldn’t do much and the game was gonna be over quickly and then all of a sudden he hits back with 3 legs in an row and it looks like game on again and it was very close in the end, if MVG didn’t hit that D10 to win it, the match would have been in Smiths hands. Price was put as the favourite for this event and rightly so as he is the form player over the past few months and has been superb in the Premier League but u just can’t deny MVG. From the shoulder problem last week when he pulled out and him finishing behind Smith and Price and not playing as well as them recently and then to beat them where it matters most on finals night its just breathtakingly ridiculous. Like MVG has mentioned before and we all know that if they all play at their best MVG wins but to then produce that level and beat them both back to back is just phenomenal. MVG also says it’s all about doing the right things at the right time and boy did he do exactly that in final, from 2-2 MVG pulled away once again with a double break just like in the semis. The big fish and then the 128 both for consecutive breaks on the Price throw were just unreal. I was sitting there with my mouth open like WTF, this is ridiculous. Once he takes a lead like that he’s not gonna give it away and it was just a matter of time before it was all over. I did feel bad for Price at the end there, u could see he was so gutted and disappointed that he didn’t bring his best level in the final coz if he did it could have been one of the most epic finals we could have witnessed but MVG was just too good tonight and I don’t think anyone should count MVG out again. He has won his 7th Premier League title, breaking the tie with Phil Taylor to be the most successful man in this event. Overall it’s been a decent Premier League and I’m looking forward to it next year.

Congrats to mvg, played fenomenal; in the end well-deserved pl-winner. In the end price couldnt find the trebles in the final and had an almost unstopable mvg against him. Unlucky for price who dominated the last nights, but mvg was there and took his chance.
