Call it a Covid season or whatever, but I loved seeing more teams challenge for titles this time around. Lille winning, AC Milan and Inter both 1-2 in the table (and I am a Juve fan for the Italian league), Athletico Madrid sneaking away in La Liga.
I dont mind great teams showing dominance, but I do like when title races are closer with more than two teams involved.
So, the final day of the top 5 competition ended and here are my take away:
England:
Aguero beating Wayne Rooney record despite playing only half or a third of his final game. I thought that was impressive, nearly wondered if Everton let him score.
Leicester collapsing against Tottenham despite them getting 2 penalty and Chelsea losing against Aston Villa. Losing Champion League on the last day like that will feel like bottling it to Leicester, kinda suck since I wanted to see them play in CL next year. Not mad about Chelsea making it though, they deserve it.
Liverpool saving their season by making it into CL. Alison goal against WBA will propably be remembered as the turning point of their attempt to save their season. Good on them for actually doing it, personally, I still think they were quite fortunate in the end.
Spain
Italy
AC Milan are back in CL! This was something I was potentially very excited and after knowing Milan had to beat Atalanta, I was worried they wouldn't make it but they did so congrats on them, excited to see some classical match-up from the past.
Juventus managed to also make it in CL but a team from their standing shouldn't have had to wait till the last day of the season to confirm their spot (and have to rely on another team not winning their game by the same occasion). For me, its clear thing aren't going too well right now for Juve despite some positive. Still good for them and their fan for making it.
France
Lille winning Ligue 1 is truly incredible, exceptional, I don't know how to describe it tbh. Big congrats to them.
Germany
Now, what about you guys, what are your main take away from this year final match day?
