The 2017-18 campaign delivered a devastating end to an era for Stoke City as The Potters finished a crushing 19th in the Premier League, resulting in relegation after a ten-season stay in the top flight. The turbulent year, which included a mid-season managerial change, was defined by an inability to find consistent form despite the flashes of brilliance from star player Xherdan Shaqiri, whose eight goals were the team's vital attacking contribution. It was a painful season that marked the end of their Premier League adventure and remains an unforgettable chapter in the club's modern history.
