After announcing this month that he would leave Bayer Leverkusen this summer, the former Real and Liverpool midfielder has signed a three-year deal at the Bernabeu as Carlo Ancelotti's successor. It is an inevitable, if bittersweet, conclusion to Ancelotti's second spell at Madrid. So finally, we have the much expected transition, with the Italian legend stepping aside to take charge of Brazil and the young pretender returning to the Bernabeu. This changing of the guard, from the club's most decorated coach to a rising star in management, is symbolic. It marks the end of an era and the beginning of a fascinating new one. A situation facilitated by the innate reasonableness of Bayer Leverkusen who, true to their word, stood by the gentlemen's agreement between coach and club that they would not stand in Alonso's way should he receive an offer he could not refuse.

The 19-year-old, who is joining Brighton and Hove Albion next season, curled a low effort past Michael Cooper to secure the Black Cats' return to the top flight for the first time in eight years. It was an incredible end to a match in which they had been second best for large parts. Tyrese Campbell had given the Blades a deserved first-half lead and Harrison Burrows would have had a second but for a video assistant referee (VAR) call for offside. Somehow the Wearside club hung in there and equalised through Eliezer Mayenda's fine goal on 76 minutes. Then with United down to 10 men temporarily having used all five substitutes after defender Anel Ahmedhodzic went off with a head injury, Watson took advantage of the extra space in the most dramatic way possible.

Alfie Dorrington's own goal just before half-time had Brendan Rodgers' holders and favourites ahead and apparently in control. But a resolute Aberdeen hung in and were rewarded after 83 minutes when substitute Shayden Morris' teasing cross was inexplicably diverted into his own net by goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel. That moment opened the door for a scarcely unimaginable outcome and Aberdeen would seize upon their big moment at the end of a rollercoaster season. After Celtic captain McGregor had his opening penalty saved by Mitov, Aberdeen scored four fine spot-kicks before their goalkeeper plunged low to push away Johnston's effort and ensure his place in Pittodrie legend. It also confirms Aberdeen will have European League football throughout the autumn and gives manager Jimmy Thelin silverware in his first season in charge.

Only 10 clubs have won a domestic league, domestic cup and European Cup treble but PSG have the chance to become the 11th when they face Inter Milan in the Champions League final in Munich next Saturday. Having clinched the league title at the end of April they made it a domestic double with the win over Reims. Two goals in three minutes from Bradley Barcola put PSG in command, getting his first in the 16th minute when he drove into the bottom corner before tapping in for his second. Achraf Hakimi then turned in a cross at the back post to make it 3-0 just before half-time. Ousmane Dembele had a couple of opportunities to do further damage in the second half but PSG were unable to add to their three goals. PSG will celebrate this latest success before switching focus to the Champions League final as Luis Enrique looks to become just the second manager to win the Treble twice, having previously managed it with Barcelona in 2015. Pep Guardiola is currently the only manager who has won two Trebles, with Barcelona in 2009 and Manchester City in 2023.

With second-placed Inter Milan leading 2-0 at Como, Napoli had to win to finish top of Serie A, with their supporters creating a sensational atmosphere at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. After the hosts dominated the opening stages, McTominay, who joined Napoli from Manchester United in a £25.7m move in August, made the breakthrough when he acrobatically connected with Matteo Politano's right-wing cross. Napoli knew a victory would see them become Italian champions for the second time in three seasons and Romelu Lukaku sealed it as he showed great strength and pace to hold off a challenge from Michel Adopo and slot the ball past Alen Sherri for the hosts' second. That goal sparked great scenes of celebration with the Napoli substitutes and coaching staff running on to the pitch, while Lukaku received a yellow card for taking his shirt off. The rest of the match was played in a party mood as Napoli celebrated becoming Italian champions again having done so in 1986-87, 1989-90 and 2022-23, before the trophy presentation. "It happened again, and it's something wonderful," said Conte. "When we got to the stadium, it was honestly difficult to get in, as I don't know how many people were there. I had a slight thought, if we let these people down, it'd be something we carried with us for a long time. "It was certainly the most unexpected, difficult and stimulating challenge of my career. To come to Napoli after 10th place [in 2023-24] and try to get everything back on track, and convince some of the best players to remain because we could do something positive." McTominay scored 12 goals and contributed four assists throughout the campaign, with him named Serie A Player of the Season shortly after the conclusion of the game.
