‘Next season it has to be better,’ says departing Dane Thanks ‘really supportive’ fans after difficult season Christian Eriksen believes Manchester United were lucky to avoid relegation from the Premier League and has thanked the club’s fans for not causing “chaos” when performances were poor. A dire campaign saw United finish 15th in the Premier League, a record low, winning 11 games and ending with a goal difference of -10. They collected 42 points, 17 better than third-bottom Leicester, and Eriksen was frank in assessing his final season at the club. Continue reading...

Official blew before Morgan Rogers put ball in net for Villa Villa unhappy at selection of inexperienced referee Aston Villa will lodge an official complaint with the Premier League about why a more experienced ­referee than Thomas Bramall was not appointed for their game at Manchester United after the official blew before ­Morgan Rogers put the ball in the net. This meant the video assistant referee could not intervene to rule on whether the forward had illegally kicked the ball from Altay Bayindir’s hands – as Bramall judged – and Unai Emery claimed later that this was the “key moment” that cost Villa Champions League ­qualification. The incident happened in the 73rd minute with the game at Old Trafford goalless and as ­Newcastle were losing to Everton, Villa – despite having had Emi Martínez sent off – were heading for the ­Champions League. Bramall’s ruling caused a furious reaction from Emery and his staff. After this Amad Diallo and Christian Eriksen goals – each provoking sarcastic Emery gestures – gave United a 2-0 win. The visitors ended in sixth and so will play Europa League football next season. Continue reading...

Kasper Schmeichel is not surprised that "great coach" Brendan Rodgers is on the brink of becoming the first Celtic manager to complete three domestic trebles.

Plus: hat-trick heroes who didn’t get a medal, shot-shy matchwinners and Jimmy Hill being caught off guard Mail us with your questions and answers “The Inter keeper Yann Sommer was named player of the match against Barcelona despite conceding three goals. He made some great saves so it wasn’t undeserved, but I wondered if there were other unusual PotM awards,” says John Barrow. This season’s Champions League tie between Real Madrid and Atlético will be remembered for Julián Alvarez’s two-touch penalty being ruled out. Before that Alvarez had inspired Atlético to a 1-0 victory on the night that took the tie to a penalty shootout; he was Uefa’s player of the match. Nick Berry could have written a song about it.

Watch three "outstanding" saves from Inter Milan goalkeeper Yann Sommer during their epic Champions League semi-final victory over Barcelona.

Clubs’ tussle for supremacy in Germany may be at its end as the futures of Alonso and Wirtz remain uncertain Early on Sunday evening Bayern Munich’s players arrived a few at a time in a swish restaurant that had been opened just for them, as they prepared to commemorate a 33rd Bundesliga title (34 if you include the pre-Bundesliga crown of 1932) not quite as they had hoped, in their street clothes rather than their football strips. Bild even claimed that as Freiburg took the lead late in the first half against Bayer Leverkusen on the big screen in front of the Bayern squad (a game the 2024 champions needed to win to mathematically prolong the race) there was a loud exclamation of “Scheiße!” from at least one player who had wanted Bayern to officially finish the job themselves at home to Borussia Mönchengladbach next Saturday. It had not quite been the titanic end that anybody had hoped for, with Bayern letting in a 95th-minute Yussuf Poulsen equaliser that stopped them officially sealing it on Saturday, Harry Kane suspended so he couldn’t take part at all and Leverkusen getting a leveller in the fourth minute of stoppage time at Freiburg on Sunday which ended up meaning little to anyone apart from the hosts and their rivals for Champions League qualification.

Bayern crowned after Leverkusen draw at FreiburgFirst major trophy for Harry Kane as player Bayern Munich have been confirmed as winners of their 33rd Bundesliga title after second-placed Bayer Leverkusen were unable to beat Freiburg on Sunday. The success is a first major trophy for Harry Kane as a player and for Vincent Kompany as a manager, though the England striker was suspended for the title-clinching match. It had looked like Bayern were going to seal the title on Saturday at RB Leipzig but a last-gasp goal from Yussuf Poulsen delayed their celebrations once again. Continue reading...

A "fantastic strike" from Barcelona's Raphinha crashes off the crossbar onto the unfortunate Yann Sommer to make it 3-3 against Inter Milan in their Champions League semi-final first-leg clash.

Celtic's domination of Scottish football should not be underestimated, say Kasper Schmeichel and Chris Sutton.

The fine tidings for Manchester United are that they are now safe from relegation, the grim ones are that this occurred despite going down to a 15th defeat of a dismal Premier League campaign. Wolves’ winner was simple: on 77 minutes Pablo Sarabia, on as a substitute only 120 seconds before, placed a 20-yard free-kick sweetly to the left of André Onana, Christian Eriksen having committed the foul for the dead ball. Continue reading...

Arnautovic and Martínez on target in 3-1 victoryBarcelona stretch La Liga lead with win at Leganés Inter cruised to a 3-1 win at home to Cagliari thanks to goals from Marko Arnautovic, Lautaro Martínez and Yann Aurel Bisseck to keep their grip on top spot in Serie A. Inter are six points clear of second-placed Napoli, who host lowly Empoli on Monday, with six rounds to go. Arnautovic put the hosts ahead after 13 minutes by blasting the ball home from close range. Roberto Piccoli had the chance to pull Cagliari level when he found himself one-on-one with the Inter keeper Yann Sommer. However, the Swiss reacted swiftly, parrying the effort away.
