After an eight-year absence, Sunderland returns to the Premier League after a dramatic playoff win against Sheffield United. Arsenal celebrates a significant victory by winning the Champions League, claiming their first title in 18 years. Meanwhile, the last day of the season sees farewell tributes, notably to Gary Lineker, marking the end of an era for Match of the Day. The day is filled with mixed emotions as teams prepare for different futures, with relegated clubs like Ipswich, Leicester, and Southampton transitioning to the Championship.
Eight (!) years have passed since Sunderland's last stint in the Premier League, but they're back after a last-gasp playoff win over Sheffield United.
Saturday's headline was Champions League glory for Arsenal, a momentous win, 18 years on from the last time they did it.
Arsenal have planned this game to the very last detail, rehearsed every last contingency, mapped out every possible scenario. But not this one.
The last day also means a final appearance for Gary Lineker on Match of the Day. I've never known the show without him.
