Finally Leicester lifted the English premier league title. Harry Kane topped the league with 25 goals, but it was the players from Leicester that caught the eye. James Vardy, Megharez, Morgan the captain and Ngolo Kante, the most wanted defensive midfielder in the Premiership. Another news that made headlines was St Totteringham Day. How Tottenham almost, I say almost clinched the title but they started tottering to the extent that on the final day they only needed a point to come second and end the season above Arsenal for the first time in 21 years, but they collapsed at Newcastle, losing 5 - 1 to a ten man team. At least arsenal fans has something to celebrate.
Barcelona made the great escape and lifted the La liga, after stuttering for about two or three games. And for once we don't get to talk about Messi or Ronaldo, but Luis Suarez. Yes Suarez, the biter. He out scored everybody, notching in 40 la liga goals. To think that Wenger had opportunity to buy him. but could only price him at 4000,001 pounds was a joke. Zidane won 21 games, drew 3 and lost 2. Good record for a first timer who took over when the team looked like they were not doing well. Ligue 1 was since won by PSG with Ibrahimovich scoring 38 Ligue 1 goals. Respect to him. Now he is leaving unless they replace the Eiffel tower with his statue. There is a rumour he might end up in Arsenal. Hopefully.
Juventus won Seria A but Gonzalo Higuian made headlines after breaking Gunnar Nordahl's 66 year old record of 35 goals. He scored a hat-trick on the last day to take his tally to 36 making him the highest goal scorer in Italy. Another news of note is Klose, yes Klose. The world cup goals record holder, who is the most capped German player at 137 that saw him appear in four world cups. At 38 years of age, he made his 139th appearance for Lazio capping it with his 54th goal for the club. Respect to him.
Bundesliga was easily won by Bayern although Dortmund made a spirited effort to catch them. Lewandoski was the highest goal scorer with 30 goals. Some of the main headline news was Matts Hummel voicing his willingness to move to Bayern before the season was over and signing a deal with them before his last match. Long time ago Pep Guardiola also said he was leaving Bayern and heading to the Premiership. this caused a little furore in England as top managers became fearful for their position. he was accused of causing confusion and taking undue advantage. Well it's no longer news that he has signed a deal with Mancity.
Now that it is almost over, with the Europa cup on Wednesday 18th May 2016 and champions league on 28th May to cap a dramatic window, what's next for the clubs and players? Euro 2016 is also around the corner.
Transfer news of course. I will keep you posted on who is going where and who is staying.
