Opinion
Everton and Belgium star Romelu Lukaku has been one of the top strikers in the Premier League this season. The former Chelsea forward scored 26 goals in all competitions and helped the Toffees to finish seventh in the Premier League to secure a Europa League berth for next season.
Manchester City have shown their determination to build a stronger squad of players for next season by completing some very early business in the transfer market. City boss Pep Guardiola is expected to spend big this summer and has already put the clubs chequebook to good use by making his first signing.
Barcelona appointed Ernesto Valverde as their new boss on Monday as successor to Luis Enrique. The 53-year-old former player of the Catalan club has done a steady job at Athletic Bilbao over the past few years. He had been one of the favourites for the job since it was announced Enrique was leaving the club this summer.
After hanging on to their place in the Scottish Premiership last season by just seven points, it seemed that 2017 would be the year that Hamilton finally conceded defeat. The struggling club managed just seven wins in 38 matches, with relegation seemingly guaranteed.
Chelsea surprised many people this season by winning the Premier League title. Under Italian boss Antonio Conte the Blues won the title relatively comfortably and next season it will be an even tougher task for the former-Juventus boss and his team.
The major domestic European leagues have only just come to an end but clubs are already making big moves in the transfer market. We have witnessed some big spending in recent years but this summer could top the lot.
The 2016/17 Scottish Premiership campaign has come to an end. Celtic cruised to the title, joining the history books as one of few clubs to have remained unbeaten throughout an entire league campaign, and are likely to do so once again next season.
The 2016/17 Premier League season has ended, with some teams tasting success and others failure.
Back in October, the New York Red Bulls beat Philadelphia Union to bring an end to the 2016 Major League Soccer regular season. In doing so, they confirmed that they would end the campaign as the Eastern Conference’s top team.
Feyenoord are Eredivisie champions for the first time in almost two decades, after they saw off pressure from Dutch heavyweights Ajax to clinch the title by a one point margin.
Luton Town host Blackpool at Kenilworth Road on Thursday night in English League Two semi-final second leg, as the home side look to recover from a 3-2 defeat in the first leg.
Arsenal recorded a much-needed 2-0 win over Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon to stay in the hunt for a place in next season's Champions League. The win means that Arsene Wenger’s side are still sixth in the table, but are now six points behind fourth-place Manchester City.
On Monday night Middlesbrough suffered a 3-0 defeat at Premier League champions-elect Chelsea, suffering relegation to the Championship in the process. Boro’s main problem this season has been the fact that they have struggled to score goals in the top-flight.
Leicester City have encountered a difficult campaign after the heroics of winning the Premier League title last season. For much of the campaign, the Foxes were struggling near the bottom of the table, which lead to boss Claudio Ranieri being sacked.
Tottenham will have hoped that last weekend would have been pivotal in their Premier League title challenge. Spurs were facing arch-rivals Arsenal in the north London derby, while title rivals Chelsea faced a potentially tough trip to Everton.
Sunderland have finally been relegated from the Premier League after a 1-0 home defeat by Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon. In truth, the relegation has been coming for a long time.
As Major League Soccer’s most decorated team, LA Galaxy are always among the frontrunners tipped to win the MLS Cup at the start of the season. With a new manager and a number of high-profile departures, 2017 was bound to be a difficult year for the club. Yet, nobody expected them to perform quite so poorly.
Following a four year wait, Celtic have reached the final of the Scottish Cup for the first time since they lifted the trophy back in the 2012/13 season. Brendan Rodgers’ side secured their place in the last two by producing an easy 2-0 victory over Old Firm rivals Rangers, with goals from Callum McGregor and Scott Sinclair confirming the victory on Sunday.
The club started the season in remarkable form, losing just one of their opening 11 games, which placed them alongside title contenders Feyenoord, Ajax and PSV Eindhoven in the top four. They managed to maintain their form up until the New Year, but luck hasn’t been on their side so far in 2017.
With just five rounds of fixtures left to play, the 2016/17 Bundesliga campaign is proving to be a lot more entertaining than previous years. While Bayern Munich lead the table with 69 points, their 0-0 bore draw with Bayer Leverkusen last time out has offered second place RB Leipzig a glimmer of hope. Although, to claim their first ever top flight title, they will need to make up eight points over the coming weeks.
