Ok so fun results from around Europe.
Spain
Real Betis made the fifth place for champions league while Celta and Real Sociedad will play in Europa League. Getafe managed to beat out Rayo Vallecano and Valencia for the final spot in Europe. Real Oviedo was the first confirmed relegated club and they will be joined by former Champions League team Girona and Mallorca. Unfortunately for Mallorca, they lost out on tie breakers to Osasuna and Levante (all 3 finished on 42 points). To illustrate how crazy the final day was, Girona tied Elche which took Elche 1 point above the crazy tie breakers. Had Girona won, they would have leapt above the tie breaker relegation scrap. Getafe beat Osasuna to qualify for Europe and that put Osasuna in the tie breakers to survive. Any other result would have kept Osasuna safe but Getafe would have missed out on Europe due to Rayo Vallecano beating Alaves, who were safe. Real Betis beat Levante on the final day which ended up not mattering. Levante had tie breakers but with a point or more, they would have been safe while Real Betis had already qualified for Champions League. Sevilla and Alaves were on 43 points with Elche which could have put the relegation battle into even more chaos. Certainly the best relegation battle in Europe
Italy
Thanks to final day wins from Roma (beating Verona) and Como (beating Cremonese) they lept over Milan (who lost to Cagliari) to take the final 2 champions league spots. Juventus will join Milan in Europa League after tying the Turin derby against Torino. Atalanta's draw against Fiorentina kept them above Bologna, who also drew against Inter to take the Conference League. Even though Cremonese lost, Lecce didn't leave it up to chance and beat Genoa to survive relegation.
Portugal
The Taca de Portugal finished yesterday with Torreense beating Sporting Lisbon with a late penalty. They managed to score an early goal, gave up a second half goal before Sporting got themselves a red card in stoppage time. Torreense, for those of you looking at the Liga Portugal table, are actually in the second division. They finished third this season, missing out on promotion by goal differential (I think). So they will be playing in Europe next season while also playing in the Portuguese second division. I can only remember Portsmouth and Wigan getting into Europe while playing in the second division but they got relegated when they won the cup
