So if you want a look back at what I am referencing (couldn't quote it) its
This post here
But I figured I would give a little recap as to the big 5 leagues and what happened over deadline day in case anyone was wondering (and totally not my autistic need to finish up this post)
Germany
Sorry to have missed the Pokal when talking about the round up. Freiberg should have won since they were up a goal and then up a man for most of the game. Yet Nkumku was still as deadly as ever and found a goal that took it to extra time. Freiberg hit the woodwork twice, Leipzig got another red and a clear penalty not called for them. But Freiberg missed and hit the woodwork in penalties to give Leipzig the Pokal trophy.
@Atomkrieg gave a good round up with the pokal and the aftermath
In Berlin, Hamburger SV grabbed a 1-0 lead on Friday and was taking that back to Hamburg with them for a game that ended today. Todays game was a complete shit show as they gave up 2 unanswered goals for Berlin to win 2-0. So Hertha Berlin will still be in the Bundesliga next season and Hamburger SV need to wait another year to make it back to the top flight in Germany
France
In Ligue 1, you can look at the post to see what was on the line for these teams but here are the important results and what it meant for the final table
Bordeaux 4 - Brest 2 - Bordeaux did what they could to try and get to the playoff spot for relegation but they needed way too much to go their way in order to survive and unfortunately not everything did go their way
Lens 2 - Monaco 2 - Lens had a chance to push for a European spot but needed to win in order to do that. Monaco needed to match Marseille's result in order to be in the group stage of the Champions League next season instead of the qualifiers and a tie was not the result they needed
Marseille 4 - Strasbourg 0 - Like Lens, Strasbourg were on the outside looking in on a European spot. They were just down goal differential with Nice so a strong win might have helped but instead dropped by 4 goals to ensure they didn't get into Europe. Marseille knew going in that they not only needed match or do better than Monaco's result but also make up a 4 goal differential to get guaranteed group stage in the champions league. They did just that
Metz 0 - PSG 5 - PSG celebrated Di Maria leaving and Mbappe staying by putting 5 past Metz, who were in the relegation playoff spot. That was probably the worst thing for Metz if they were looking to survive. Results elsewhere were not kind and Metz confirmed their relegation along with Bordeaux
Lille 2 - Rennes 2 - Rennes had a 2 point lead for the Europa League on Nice and were 3 points back from a potential Champions League spot. A draw did them no favors in going to Champions League, but their massive GD meant that their spot in the Europa League was confirmed
St Etienne 1 - Nantes 1 - St Etienne was tied on points with Metz but had a worse GD. But with a point here and Metz not getting any points it allowed St Etienne to sneak past both Metz (with a better GD) and Bordeaux (with a worse GD) and put their fate for Ligue 1 in their own hands with a playoff.
Reims 2 - Nice 3 - Nice were trying to hold off Strasbourg and Lens for a spot in Europe along with potentially getting into Europa League instead of the Europa Conference with todays results. Unfortunately for them, Rennes tied so they couldn't get into Europa League. But they were able to secure a spot in Europe with a win (even though Marseille helped them by beating Strasbourg by 4 goals).
So PSG and Marseille are in the Champions League group stage, Monaco are in Champions League qualifiers, Rennes is in Europa League, Nice are in the Europa Conference, St Etienne is in the relegation playoffs, and Metz and Bordeaux are relegated
Italy
Still can't believe Italy doesn't try and pick out a time to play all their games to make some league wide drama. So the results are as such
(Monday Results that I couldn't wait on)
Sampadoria 4 - Fiorentina 1 - Fiorentina missed out on a chance to go ahead of Roma for a spot in Europa League and made their final match much more important if they wanted to be in Europe
Lazio 2 - Juve 2 - Didn't matter for Juve as they were finishing 4th. Lazio were guaranteed to be in Europa League after the result and the Fiorentina loss.
Final Day
Roma 3 - Torino 0 - This basically sealed up the top 6 spots and most of the European competitions. Why it was played on a Friday while other games were played on other days baffles me since the drama then came down to top and bottom of the table. Roma sealed their spot in Europa league and only Fiorentina and Atalanta games mattered for Europe
Fiorentina 2 - Juve 0 - Juve were already set in their spot so they didn't have anything to really play for while Fiorentina needed a win to hold off Atalanta since they bottled it against Sampadoria on Monday. Fiorentina get the last European place from Serie A with this win
Atalanta 0 - Empoli 1 - Speaking of bottling it, Atalanta could have still pushed for a European spot with a win and instead lost to Empoli, who had literally jack shit to play for.
Lazio 3 - Verona 3 - Lazio already had Europa League set. This just confirmed that they finished higher than Roma so that is something
Inter 3 - Sampadoria 0 - Inter fought to the end for the Scudetto and made sure Milan won their game if they were going to take the title for the first time in 11 years.
Sassuolo 0 - Milan 3 - And Milan won their game to make sure they didn't back into the final day to win the title. Ibra's speech afterwards and him walking around with a cigar are the most notable things about this game. The Milan team is young, and if they can continue to mature then they might be the new Italian threat in Europe (assuming they can hold on to these players)
Venezia 0 - Cagliari 0 - Venezia were dominate early and looked like they might actually beat Cagliari. Then Cagliari remembered they had to win this game to survive and took control of the game. But the lack of finishing from both sides showed why both sides are getting relegated
Salernitana 0 - Udinesse 4 - Salernitana backed their way into staying up thanks to Venezia but man they looked awful. Granted, this club was a complete disaster and I think had 8 points at the start of the calendar year so this was a great escape (literally). So while celebrating after being beaten 4-0 looks bad, the season was a success
So Milan, Inter, Napoli, and Juve are in Champions League next year, Roma and Lazio are in Europa League, Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League, and then Cagliari, Genoa, and Venezia are relegated
Spain -
Most of the top was already settled and Spain decided to copy Italy instead of France and England so no real excitement all at once. No changes at the top of the table so it went Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico, and Sevilla for the top 4 spots. But some interesting results happened so lets see
Real Madrid 0 - Real Betis 0 - Betis could have potentially pushed for a Champions League spot at Sevilla's expense but this tie basically confirmed the Champions League places.
Elche 3 - Getafe 1 - Getafe weren't mathematically safe going into today but had an insane GD that any team that caught them would have had match fixing allegations immediately. Elche were in the best spot to avoid relegation going into the day and won so they remain in La Liga
Cadiz 1 - Alavez 0 - Alavez were already relegated so Cadiz had more to play for and got an important goal to secure the win. This put Cadiz up to 39 points and needing a little help to avoid relegation
Granada 0 - Espanyol 0 - Granada were a point out of the relegation zone so this draw did not help them out as much as they might have thought. Teams in the relegation zone could now win and jump over them which is not what you want to have happen
Osasuna 0 - Mallorca 2 - Osasuna had a top 10 finish this season so caring about this game wasn't something they were up for apparently. Mallorca were out of the relegation zone on a tie breaker that wasn't GD so they needed a win and some help. They got both
Villareal 2 - Barca 0 -Barca didn't care for this game and Villareal had a 1 point lead over Athletic Club for the final spot in Europe so they needed this win. They got it and turns out didn't really need it
Sevilla 1 - Athletic Club 0 - Sevilla did have a possibility of losing out on Champions League with a bad result here so this win helped although Betis tied before them so they didn't really have to play hard. But they could have also finished 3rd if Atletico slipped up so that probably had serious financial incentives for the players. Athletic Club's loss ensured they missed out on Europe.
Real Madrid, Barca, Atletico, and Sevilla will be in Champions League next year. Real Betis and Sociedad will be in the Europa League while Villareal will be in the Europa Conference League. Alavez, Levante, and with that draw, Granada will be relegated this year.
England
Everyone knows how this ended right? So this is just my autism showing
Arsenal 5 - Everton 1 - Needed to win and have Norwich somehow pull a draw or win. That Newcastle loss sealed Arsenal's fate and this was just a formality
Tottenham 5 - Norwich 0 - Tottenham had Champions League in their own fate and took full advantage. Norwich were reminded that they are a team that bounces back and forth with this brutal beatdown in their own backyard
Liverpool 3 - Wolves 1 - Liverpool left it late and you have to wonder, if Liverpool had a lead early on in this game, would the City result be different? It sucks for Liverpool to have 92 points and lose the league. I don't think Fergie ever got more than 91 points when he won the league (could be wrong)
City 3 - Villa 2 - The #narrative almost came true. I thought it would be true after Cash scored the first (lol how funny would it have been if Cash was the reason City lost the title) and Coutinho got the second of all people. But City came back with 3 quick goals to avoid another Aguero situation because they don't have that kind of striker right now
Brentford 1 - Leeds 2 - Told ya, this game meant something to Leeds and they needed points from both Brighton and Brentford to stay up. Leeds tied Brighton and got a huge win here to avoid relegation. I hope to see more Ted Lasso's in the premier league soon after this magnificent escape
Newcastle 2 - Burnley 1 - Anti football is going back to where it belongs. Sucks for Burnley, firing their cult figure in Sean Dyche to try and avoid relegation only to get relegated. I wonder if there is anything in the back room that will leak as to another reason for Dyche being let go because otherwise, thats just a terrible move. Burnley might struggle to return now
City, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Tottenham in the Champions League. Arsenal and United are in the Europa league. West Ham are in the Europa Conference League. Burnley, Watford, and Norwich are relegated.
We have the Europa Conference League final on Wednesday between Feyenoord and Roma. Huddersfield vs Nottingham on Sunday for a spot in the EPL, League One already played their final for some stupid reason. Mansfield Town and Port Vale play for the last spot in League One. Final game for the Conference League is tomorrow before their playoffs start for getting into League Two
