In the final game, Al Nassr defeated Al-Ittihad 4-2 at their home stadium, with the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a brace. These goals marked his 34th and 35th of the season. The 39-year-old Portuguese set a new Saudi Professional League record for the most goals in a single season.
Notably, Ronaldo decided to stay with Al Nassr and extended his contract with the club for another year, until the end of June 2026. On December 30, 2022, it was announced that Cristiano Ronaldo had signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Al Nassr.
Bruno Fernandes has been announcd the Premier League Player of the Season following an outstanding campaign with Manchester United.Soccer
The Portuguese midfielder, who captains the club, added the latest honour to an already impressive season after previously winning the Football Writers’ Association Men’s Player of the Year award earlier this month.
Fernandes played a crucial role in United’s strong league campaign, helping the Red Devils finish third and secure qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League.
The 31-year-old matched the Premier League record for assists in a single season after providing his 20th assist during United’s clash against Nottingham Forest last weekend.
In addition to his creativity, Fernandes also contributed eight league goals in 37 appearances for Manchester United this season.
No player in the Premier League created more chances than Fernandes, who recorded an impressive 132 chances — 43 more than the next closest player, Dominik Szoboszlai of Liverpool FC.
Fernandes becomes the first Manchester United player to win the prestigious award since former defender Nemanja Vidić claimed it in 2011.
The award was decided through a combination of public voting and selections made by a panel of football experts.
Other players shortlisted for the honour included David Raya, Gabriel Magalhães, Declan Rice, Erling Haaland, Antoine Semenyo, Igor Thiago and Morgan Gibbs-White.
Manchester United will round off their Premier League season with an away fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion FC on Sunday.
UEFA on Thursday named the Europa League Team of the Season following the conclusion of the competition on Wednesday.
Recall that Aston Villa won the Europa League after beating Freiburg 3-0 in the final in Turkey.
However, UEFA’s Technical Observer Group has now selected its 2025/26 Europa League Team of the Season.
Aston Villa have four players in the official Europa League Team of the Season.
Here is the team in full:
Goalkeeper
Emiliano Martínez (Aston Villa)
Defenders
Victor Gómez (Braga)
Matthias Ginter (Freiburg)
Morato (Nottingham Forest)
Oscar Mingueza (Celta)
Midfielders
Maximilian Eggestein (Freiburg)
John McGinn (Aston Villa)
Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)
Forwards
Antony (Real Betis)
Igor Jesus (Nottingham Forest)
Emiliano Buendía (Aston Villa)
No fewer than four Arsenal stars could be playing their last Premier League match for the club this weekend.
The Gunners close out their title-winning campaign when they take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta’s men were confirmed champions on Tuesday night, following Manchester City’s 1-1 draw at Bournemouth.
Arsenal will now receive their trophy against Palace.
However, some members of the current squad may be sold when the next transfer window arrives.
Christian Norgaard could be heading out of the door, despite only joining Arsenal last summer from Brentford.
Arteta has left Norgaard out of the last two matchday squads and the Danish midfielder might have to seek new pastures.
Ben White, who is currently injured, has also been linked with Everton.
Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz are now undoubtedly ahead of Gabriel Jesus in the pecking order and the Brazilian striker could depart in search of more playing time.
Myles Lewis-Skelly is less likely to leave than Jesus and Trossard, despite starting only four league fixtures, he has also been linked with a shock move to Manchester United.
