Everyone’s going to be praising Luis Enrique right now, but special respect has to go to Luis Campos, who, as sporting director: • built the title-winning Monaco in 2017; • built the title-winning Lille in 2021; • helped PSG win their first-ever Champions League trophy. Genius!

My league ranked 23rd in Opta’s league ratings — the Russian Premier League landed just behind the second divisions of Spain and Germany. Opta ranks each league based on the aggregated ratings of all participating clubs. I’m leaving a link to the full analysis below. Where does your league rank?

A great highlight reel from the Australian national team’s social media, celebrating their sixth consecutive World Cup qualification, featuring iconic moments from their tournament history. Tim Cahill — a true legend!

Thomas Frank has been the best Premier League manager over the last 10 years when it comes to getting the most out of a modest squad. His Brentford side averages 1.32 points per game, while their expected points — calculated based on team budget and player wages — sit at 0.79 per game. Frank is outperforming expectations by an average of 0.53 points per match. And this isn’t just about one or two good seasons — like with some Brighton managers. Frank has been working wonders for four straight seasons. But that doesn’t automatically mean he’ll succeed at Tottenham. Brentford is a brilliantly run club that has helped Frank squeeze out every bit of potential. Tottenham’s structure, on the other hand, has historically done more to hold managers back than support them.

You won’t see a dumber post today. ESPN’s Spanish-language account is comparing Ronaldo’s and Messi’s Nations League wins. By the way, Leo still hasn’t won the Euros either.

The worst match of Yamal’s career. It looked like he wasn’t even trying — every second pass went backwards, and he’s never been this passive. But Nuno Mendes completely shut him down. Try getting past Mendes — fast, coordinated, always meeting you at an angle, slightly crouched. And on top of that, he’s smart, reads opponents well. His defensive “scalp list” this season includes: Sané, Foden, Saka, Thuram, Salah, Yamal. He’s not as flashy in attack as Hakimi, but that’s because of his calculated, more cautious role. Mendes doesn’t just charge up and down the pitch — he joins the attack only when it truly matters. Remarkably composed and intelligent for a 22-year-old. Undisputed best left-back this season — and honestly, should be in the top 10 players of the year.

Atalanta have appointed Ivan Jurić, a disciple of Gasperini. Jurić was just relegated with Southampton, setting a Premier League anti-record in the process — averaging only 0.29 points per game, the worst rate among all managers who have coached 10+ matches in the league. In the final months, once relegation became inevitable, Jurić showed some ambition: “Our goal is not to become the worst team in Premier League history. Let’s see what we can do.” Well — they managed not to be worse than Derby. And now he’s heading to a Champions League team.

The Athletic released an interesting chart — they asked fans of every Premier League club how they rate the season. Crystal Palace fans are the happiest of all — a massive 95.2% satisfaction rate. No surprise there: attractive football, their first-ever trophy in 120 years, and a Europa League spot to top it off. Also in the top three: • Newcastle (a brilliant spring and a Champions League comeback) • Nottingham Forest (an incredible leap from relegation zone to Europe in just one season) At the bottom: West Ham. A loud summer with the arrival of Julen Lopetegui and €150M worth of signings tailored to his style — but the result was a flop. The solid side David Moyes built, one that won the Conference League two years ago, completely fell apart. The board expected progress, but instead, the team regressed. Manchester United’s low spot is expected too — 15th place in the fan ranking, a defeat in the Europa League final to Tottenham, zero trophies, and a fresh batch of negative records.

A funny tweet after yesterday’s final: “French football keeps producing talents like Doué, Barcola, and Mayulu, while the last real young stars from Italy are still Chiesa, Orsolini, and Zaniolo. Their development system is basically dead.” Is it the truth? https://x.com/mulattoorfeu2nd/status/1928928731382398987?s=46&t=TFcCHA8D41hDJ-1emmpiZA

The incredible streak is over. Since 2002, Spanish teams had won every single European final they participated in—23 out of 23!

David Raya and Matz Sels have claimed the Golden Glove, each keeping 13 clean sheets in this Premier League season. And with that come a few milestones: ● Sels becomes the first goalkeeper outside the traditional Big Six to win the award. ● Raya is the first Arsenal goalkeeper to win the Golden Glove in back-to-back seasons. ● 13 clean sheets is the lowest total ever for a Golden Glove winner (the award has existed since 2004/05). The previous low was Joe Hart’s 14 in the 2014/15 season.

The biggest surprise of the season in England is Nottingham Forest. A team that was on the brink of relegation just a year ago is now heading to Europe. Yes, it’s not the Champions League or Europa League, but still — that’s massive. The Premier League hasn’t seen a fairytale like this in a while. Nuno Espírito Santo fit in perfectly. He took a highly functional system — deep defense and sharp counterattacks — and elevated it to the highest level. Forest didn’t play scared, they played smart. They didn’t sit back — they waited for their moment. The result? +29 points compared to last season. From 36 (32 with deduction) to 65. No other team in the Premier League has improved that dramatically in one year. A historic upgrade. Also notable for improvement: • Brentford (+17) • Brighton (+16) At the other end of the table: Tottenham. They collapsed from 66 points to 38 — a drop of 28. Formally a disastrous season, but they’ve still got a trophy on the shelf.

The Premier League season is officially over. England will send 9 teams to European competitions. Champions League: Liverpool, Arsenal, City, Chelsea, Newcastle, and Tottenham. Europa League: Palace and Villa. Conference League: Forest. Feel bad for Forest.

It doesn’t matter how poorly Aston Villa were playing before the disallowed goal. Playing badly doesn’t mean losing. When they got their chance, Villa scored. So it’s entirely possible that the team missed out on the Champions League purely because the referee made a technical error — blowing the whistle a second too early, which prevented VAR from intervening. That was the game’s defining moment. Jokes about Emery in the Europa League aside, this is a scandal. Champions League qualification means guaranteed tens of millions in revenue — money Aston Villa will now miss out on.
