Their nervy 4-3 win on penalties over Arsenal following a 1-1 draw in the final in Budapest backed up their 5-0 win over Inter Milan in Munich 12 months ago. In doing so they became the first side to successfully defend their title since Real Madrid's three-peat from 2016 to 2018, and only the second to do it in the Champions League era - 1993 onwards. Indeed, across the competition's 71-year history PSG are just the 10th club to win successive titles. "I'm mixed," boss Luis Enrique said after the game. "Excitement, fatigue - everything. But this is the best moment of the season. We are still champs, two in a row, it's amazing." All 10 of the outfield players who started PSG's win over Arsenal, also started their victory over Inter Milan. Only goalkeeper Matvey Safonov was new, in for Gianluigi Donnarumma who was signed by Manchester City last summer. Over the past two years Luis Enrique's team have dominated almost all competitions they have competed in. Since the start of last season they have won eight of the 10 trophies available to them - only missing out on last summer's Club World Cup and this campaign's French Cup. If they continue their dominance next season PSG could become just the fifth side to win three successive Champions League/European Cup titles. But they still have a way to go to break Real Madrid's record of five European Cups in a row between 1956 and 1960. "Tonight PSG have made history," said European football journalist Julien Laurens on BBC Radio 5 Live. "Last season will always be special, but I think they will enjoy this more as they had to dig deep, they had to fight, and they had to come back. "Last season was almost a bit too easy against Inter. Back-to-back you join the greatest of all time."

The France striker turned home a close-range winner on the rebound from an Adam Wharton strike early in the second half in Leipzig. Outgoing Palace boss Oliver Glasner leaves the club having led them to the FA Cup, Community Shield and now Conference League in a remarkable two-and-a-half-year spell at Selhurst Park. Both teams were competing in their first European final and so the cagey start to proceedings at Red Bull Arena - the home of RB Leipzig - was perhaps unsurprising. Alemao turned a half-decent opportunity wide before Unai Lopez placed an effort past the post in the Spanish side's best opportunities of the first half. But the clearest chance of the opening 45 minutes fell to Palace just before the break, when Tyrick Mitchell headed wide after Wharton had found him with a superb ball into the box. Palace took the lead just six minutes into the second half when Wharton's strike was palmed into Mateta's path by Rayo goalkeeper Augusto Batalla and the forward diverted it into the net. It was Mateta's 16th goal of the season for Palace - and he almost left the club in January before a knee injury scuppered a move to AC Milan. Yeremy Pino then hit both posts with a free-kick before teeing up Mateta for another chance, but this time Batalla pulled off a fine save. Rayo, who have the lowest budget in La Liga, struggled to create any real chances late on as Palace held on for their historic moment - and delivered for Glasner in his final game as Eagles boss.

Guardiola, who will go down as one the finest managers of his generation, confirmed on Friday he will step down at City after collecting 20 trophies during a memorable decade in charge. His last game started well as January signing Antoine Semenyo volleyed in the opener after a corner was flicked on at the near post, with the former Bournemouth man taking his tally to 17 league goals in a superb campaign. But Europa League winners Villa and their in-form striker Watkins were party poopers as they responded brilliantly in the second half. England defender John Stones, making his last City appearance, was punished for a poor headed clearance as Watkins poked in the equaliser immediately after the break. The magnitude of the occasion then hit home for City as departing captain Bernardo Silva was given a guard of honour when substituted by Guardiola, with both men in tears as they embraced on the touchline. Watkins then turned the game around on the hour mark, running clear before coolly finishing past England team-mate James Trafford. The goal was initially ruled out for offside but was awarded by the video assistant referee as Ruben Dias was playing him on. Phil Foden thought he had rescued a last-minute draw for City with a thumping finish via the crossbar, but the goal was ruled out for offside, with Guardiola slumping back in his seat in disappointment. The result meant Villa confirmed their fourth-place finish and ruled out any hope Bournemouth had of qualifying for the Champions League.

Both sides named experimental line-ups, with Palace in the Conference League final on Wednesday and Arsenal in Saturday's Champions League showpiece. And with nothing on the game for either of these sides - with the title wrapped up for Arsenal in the week - the match, with its lack of intensity and scheduled drinks breaks in the heat, had the feeling of a pre-season match. Gabriel Jesus, who had missed two good opportunities earlier in the first half, gave Arsenal the lead in the 42nd minute with a tidy finish, before Noni Madueke doubled the score shortly after half-time from a trademark Arsenal corner to wrap up Arsenal's 26th league win of the campaign. Palace substitute Jean-Philippe Mateta added a consolation for Palace when he flicked in Yeremy Pino's cross with one minute of normal time left. Pino thought he had snatched an unlikely draw when he fired in during stoppage time, but the ball had hit Evann Guessand - who was in an offside position - on its way in, with Palace finishing 15th in the table and six points clear of the drop. Arteta made nine changes from the side that played against Burnley and named Max Dowman in his starting line-up, with the midfielder becoming the youngest ever player to start a Premier League match at 16 years and 144 days old. It was also the first time Eberechi Eze had returned to his former club since he left Palace in a deal worth £67m, and the England international was given a hero's welcome - having scored the winning goal for Palace in the FA Cup final last season. There was one slight worry for Arsenal as Madueke had to leave the pitch with what looked like a hamstring issue. However, the winger did not look in too much discomfort and will hope to be available for both the Champions League final and World Cup, having been called up by England. The result of the match was of insignificance for the travelling Arsenal fans, with all of them here just to see their side lift the Premier League trophy after such a long wait.

Strains of the old "Glory, Glory" anthem echoed inside the giant stadium as Tottenham Hotspur stepped back from the precipice of the most humiliating relegation in Premier League history. Spurs players and supporters were in unison at last as they could finally look forward to next season as a top-flight club, victory against Everton on the final day ensuring survival and sending West Ham United into the Championship. Slowly, a note of dissent was introduced as a giant banner was unfurled by supporters, reading: "Promised Success. Delivering Failure. ENIC out." The fans who have suffered so much mediocrity were entitled to their outpouring – after all, this was only the third home league win they have witnessed this season, albeit in arguably the club's biggest game in recent history. For the Spurs players, the instant exuberance was understandable, but embarrassment should have quickly descended on them as they listened to their supporters chanting "We Are Staying Up". The very sound of those words, the preserve of strugglers, should reverberate through the whole club. Once Tottenham High Road empties of its revellers, the inquest from top to bottom must begin.
