Paris St-Germain 1-1 Arsenal (PSG won 4-3 on penalties) PSG have won the Champions League for the second year in a row. Author | DJ Stadium | Puskás Aréna It was heartbreak for Arsenal as they miss two penalties in the shootout - Eberechi Eze fired wide and Gabriel shot over. David Raya had managed to save from Nuno Mendes, but it was not enough for Arteta’s side. By lifting the trophy once again, PSG have become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League since Real Madrid's remarkable run of three consecutive titles between 2016 and 2018, and only the second club to achieve the feat in the Champions League era, which began in 1993. Across the competition's 71-year history, PSG are just the 10th club to win back-to-back European titles.

It was entirely understandable that he wanted his squad to gain valuable minutes in demanding, energy-sapping conditions. It had been said in the build-up to this pre tournament friendly that utilising the full squad is going to be key.  The consequence of all this squad tinkering, however, was that the 1-0 victory, secured by another Harry Kane goa...

West Ham relegated despite final day win

West Ham United 3 - 0 Leeds United West Ham’s 14-year stay in the Premier League came to an end despite a final-day victory over Leeds United Author | Jamie Pugh Stadium | London Stadium The Hammers needed to beat Leeds and rely on Tottenham losing to Everton if they were to preserve their top-flight status. A closer analysis of how West Ham were relegated For long periods, it appeared they would not even manage the first part of that equation. In sweltering conditions, West Ham produced a sluggish display, with the mood darkened further by Tottenham taking a first-half lead against Everton. The breakthrough the home support had been waiting for finally arrived in the 67th minute when Taty Castellanos rose at the back post to head home Jarrod Bowen’s corner. West Ham found a second with 11 minutes remaining as Bowen drilled a composed angled finish into the far corner. Substitute Callum Wilson added a third in stoppage time, ensuring Graham Potter’s side had done all they could, but at...
