Barcelona overturned a 2-0 deficit to beat Wolfsburg 3-2 and win their second Women’s Champions League title on Saturday, June 3. Wolfsburg took the lead after just 2 minutes and 57 seconds thanks to a stunning strike from Ewa Pajor. The Polish international won the ball on the edge of the box before unleashing a terrific effort which Sandra Panos couldn’t keep out.

The Spanish side continued to push forward and had Wolfsburg’s defence on the back foot for large periods in the first half. But Wolfsburg made it 2-0 eight minutes before halftime. Goalscorer Pajor turned provider for the second when she whipped in a sensational ball into the box and Alexandra Popp was on hand to fire her header past Panos to put Wolfsburg in dreamland. Barcelona came out of the blocks quickly in the second half and pulled a goal back after just three minutes. Caroline Graham Hansen got past her marker brilliantly before laying the ball off to Patricia Guijarro who rifled her effort beyond Merle Frohms.

Barcelona completed their comeback in the 70th minute after capitalizing on some poor defending from their German opponents. Wolfsburg struggled to get the ball clear resulting in a moment of pinball in the box and Fridolina Rolfo was there to fire her effort into the top corner. It’s the second Women’s Champions League title for Barcelona after four appearances in the Champions League final. Wolfsburg are still on the hunt for their first UWCL title since 2014.

His goal against Udinese, helped Napoli win the Serie A title for the first time in 33 years. Speaking to BoyleSports ahead of an FA Cup final match between Manchester United and Manchester City, Andy Cole stated that his former club won’t be able to win the Premier League next season even if they succeed in signing Victor Osimhen. He said; “No, Manchester United can’t win the league next season. It frustrates me when people think that buying two more players, we can then win the league. So why are Manchester City in such a good position if all it takes is buying two players? Make it make sense. Two players, including Victor Osimhen, can’t help Manchester United compete for the league title.

The Red Devils are in the market for a new striker and have reportedly listed Kane as their favoured candidate heading into the summer window. Making his 320th Premier League appearance today, May 28, Kane has raced to 213 goals. He also has 46 assists. In the 2022-23 season, Kane finished as the second-highest scorer in the league with 30 goals. Only, Erling Haaland (36) managed to score more.

Leicester and Leeds join Southampton in the drop to the EFL championship. Southampton finished last in the Premier League and were relegated weeks ago.

Casemiro also helped set up another for Anthony Martial and spurred United on to a memorable thrashing which was completed by a Bruno Fernandes penalty and a late strike from Marcus Rashford, his 30th goal of the season. Joao Felix ruined David De Gea’s clean sheet with a low drive in the 89th minute.

It also effectively ends fifth-placed Liverpool’s slim hope of gate-crashing the top four. Chelsea are 12th on the Premier League table and they’ve set a new club record with a 16th defeat in a 38-game Premier League season to compound finishing in the bottom half of the top-flight for the first time in 27 years. Manchester United will end the league season at home to Fulham on Sunday afternoon while Chelsea hosts Newcastle United. 
Manchester City kicked off their Premier League title celebrations with a 1-0 victory over Chelsea at the Etihad. Recall that Pep Guardiola’s men clinched a fifth title in six seasons on Saturday, May 20, when second-placed Arsenal were defeated 1-0 by Nottingham Forest. 
Following the title win, Guardiola made nine changes from the side that battered Real Madrid on Wednesday, May 17. Haaland, Kevin de Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan, John Stones, Jack Grealish, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias, and goalkeeper Ederson were all benched. Erling Haaland was rested but Julian Alvarez provided the cutting edge in his absence with a clinical finish to put City ahead after 12 minutes. Kalvin Phillips who made his first Premier League start for City since joining in a £55m deal from Leeds United last summer, came close to doubling City’s lead on the hour mark but he was denied by the post after meeting Riyad Mahrez’s free-kick. 
Alvarez thought he had his brace in the 73rd minute but the goal was disallowed after Mahrez was adjudged to have used a hand in the build-up. The defeat means Chelsea will end a miserable campaign in the bottom half and a familiar lack of cutting edge in front of goal showed why the Blues have struggled under three different managers this season. With finals against Manchester United and Inter Milan to come in the FA Cup and Champions League respectively, City have to keep their focus if they’re to pull off a historic treble.

Liverpool coach, Jurgen Klopp has seemingly settled for Europa League after a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa yesterday, May 20. Recall that in his final home game as a Liverpool player, Firmino came off the bench to give Liverpool the equalizer they desperately needed. The Reds’ hope to qualify for Champions League is hanging by a thread as Manchester United and Newcastle both have a game in hand and need just a point in midweek to secure their spot in the top four.

The Reds have played in the Champions League for the past five seasons, reaching the final on three occasions and lifting the trophy once. Speaking to BBC after the match last night, Klopp who settled for Europa said they’ll make it their competition. 
He said; “We will make it [the Europa League] our competition. I am not that spoilt. That we are already qualified for the Europa League is incredible with all these teams around us. That’s really difficult and we did it, that is good. “For so long we couldn’t even hear the sound of the Champions League, that’s how far away we were. The Europe League is absolutely fine. Let’s see what we can do.”
