End of Season Update
Time to bring to and end the nervewrecking wait to see who'd be crowned champions, who'd go down and who won the cups! Here are the matches!
Arsenal have won the league! For the first time in ages! Much thanks to the goals of Messi, the Gunners came out on top. Man Utd was the only team to challenge, with an impressive 80 point tally. In 3rd, Tottenham crown a very successfull season with a Champions League spot, an impressive achievement. Joining them in the CL are Man City, who beat Chelsea by a single point. An Europa League spot also goes to Newcastle, who are back where they belong after a very good year. Much thanks to the goals of Paco Alcacer, the Magpies are back in Europe!
At the bottom end, it was a very tight affair. QPR could not save their spot, as they could not recover from a poor start to the season. Watford also had a shocking year, after such an immpressive display last year. Lastly, heartbreak for Wolves, who were only 2 points away from 15th place Crystal Palace. A single point saved Sunderland and Swansea from relegation, as the Wolves make their way into the Championship.

Spurs go from a good season to a great one, by adding an European title! They beat the German giants, Bayern, in the final thanks to a Memphis Depay goal. In a tight game, Ben Davies and Samuel Umtiti were rock solid, and meant the title is heading to North London.

And what a way to end the season! An absolutely fantastic battle between two attacking teams at the Milennium Stadium in Cardiff. Arsenal had to play with 10 men for 30 + 30 minutes after Wilshere's sending off, but thanks to a hat-trick from Messi, and a Sterling goal, they could overcome Schalke anyway! Ramsey scored the deciding penalty to bring joy to every Gunner worldwide. A second consecutive Champions League win for Vincenzo Montella!
