‘ the ‘the boys. the strange proud of the boys. the strange situation, dealing with it. you saw untili—o, we situation, dealing with it. you saw until 1—0, we were really good until then. and then, what happened? we cannot tell the people calm down and it doesn't say anything, everyone knows that. it was kind of a shock for everybody and we had to fight really because they were very good, as everybody knows. at the end we scored two goals, got another clean sheet, so it's a nice but of course not exactly how we wanted it. we have tried so hard. we have lost one game in the season. we've given everything. we just run out of time, run out of games. city have been amazing as well, a fantastic side.

you have to take your hat off to them but next season, after a break —we them but next season, after a break — we will need a break after the champions league final, hopefully it isa champions league final, hopefully it is a good one after that and then next season we will come out fighting again and give everything. 50 liverpool so close to that first league title in almost three decades.. the victory was their ninth in a row and their 30th overall in the league. a big improvement. we can only move forward now. hopefully fingers crossed. we are going to get the champions league. we will win with that. city have been fantastic all year and they have clearly just been fantastic all year and they have clearlyjust pipped us at the post. one point! but what a magnificent season for football. four teams in the champions league, two in the champions league, two in the

champions league, two in the europa champions league, two in the europa europa league. it doesn't get better. very disappointing but we played our part which is all we could do. city have done better than us. i'm so city have done better than us. i'm so proud of the team. we have madrid to come but the chance to push the barrier on manchester city, i think it's been a tremendous effort and a tremendous season. tremendous season. we couldn't make it. but we still got the champions league so i'm sure we got the champions league so i'm sure we will win something. away from the title race, tottenham confirmed their place in the top four. they drew 2—2 with everton in theirfinal match. eric dier gave them the lead — before goals from theo walcott and cenk tosun saw everton on course to end the season on a high. but christian eriksen snatched a point for the home side, 15 minutes from time. it's a top four finish for a fourth successive season for tottenham. everton finish the season in eighth. i want to congratulate my players, superheroes.

there was the option of the finish in the top four and never was to play the final but the ambition that we showed during the whole season brought the club to play in the final and of course to be in the champions league season. i think it's a massive achievement. at the start of the day, arsenal had an outside chance of finishing in the top four but tottenham's result brought an end to any hope they had. arsenal did end the season with a win — beating burnley 3—1 at turf moor. pierre emerick aubameyang scored twice for arsenal — it means he ends the season as the league's joint top scorer — with 22 goals alongside liverpool's sadio mane and mohamed salah. plenty of goals in the day's other games. eight goals in the match between crystal palace and bournemouth. 5—3 to palace there. michy batshuayi with two. newcastle hammered already relegated fulham 4—0. big result for rafa benitez there — speculation over his future as manager continues.

west ham finish in the top 10, with that 4—1 win over watford. and manchester united end the season on a sour note — they lost 2—0 to cardiff at old trafford. cardiff hadn't beaten united in the league since 1960. and this is how the top of the table looks. manchester city clinching the title by a single point. 98 points for them — after their record 14th successive win. liverpool's win over wolves sees them with 97 points. an astonishingly high total for the team finishing second. chelsea's goalless draw with leicester means they end up 3rd. confirmation of man united in 6th. and the relegation spots decided before today. but it's huddersfield, fulham and cardiff who'll be in the championship next season. brighton finishing two points above cardiff. newcastle's win moved them about bournemouth. well, of course, it's also play—off time in the other leagues, and in league one —

charlton have the advantage over doncaster rovers, after the first leg of their semi—final. charlton won 2—1 today, scoring twice in the space of two first—half minutes, through lyle taylor and joe aribo. doncaster did pull a goal back just before full time, but charlton are at home for the second leg on friday. rangers have secured back—to—back home wins over celtic for the first time in seven years. they got the ideal start, with james tavernier scoring from a free kick within two minutes. and midway through the second half, scott arfield made it 2—nil. that was rangers' sixth win in a row and takes them to within six points of their city rivals but with the title already returning to celtic park, this was a real signal of intent ahead of next season. it was also a first defeat in 16 games for celtic in the league. dundee managerjim mcintyre

has left the club, after their relegation from the scottish premiership. it comes a day after dundee ended a run of 10 consecutive defeats with a 1—0 win away to livingston. lewis hamilton has won the spanish grand prix — to re—take the lead in the drivers' championship. starting from second on the grid again, behind his mercedes team mate valteri bottas, hamilton managed to over—take him on the first bend in barcelona and he held on for the next 66 laps to take the full points. it's his third win of the season. bottas finished second, ahead of red bull's max verstappen, with ferrari's sebastien vettel in fourth. i wouldn't say that i was leading on my own, i think i obviously got my good start and then once i got ahead, it was just about having your head down and not looking back. really grateful for this incredible team thatjust continue to push the limits, bring some upgrades here this weekend which have really added to the car's performance and we know

we are creating history day by day and weekend by weekend and i'm incredibly proud to be part of that. but i'm really happy today and i didn't make a single mistake, which is rare. sometimes you look back and see where you made a mistake and you lost a bit of time but i honestly can't recall having a mistake so that is really positive. warrington wolves have beaten wigan warriors in a really tight match, to reach the quarter—finals of rugby league's challenge cup. warrington were leading 18—12 at the break, before zak hardaker went over to level the scores and with it still level at 24—all, man—of—the match stefan ratchford's penalty goal gave warrington the narrowest of victories — 26—24 the final score. they play hull kr next. also hoping for a place in the quarter finals are st helens and huddersfield. st helens, who are top of super league went ahead early on butjoe wardle crossed overfor huddersfield, to make it all square. st helen's though, came back

through theo fages and are currently leading 22—16 in the second half, at thejohn smith's stadium. pascal ackermann has won stage two at the giro d'italia. the german rider beat a world—class field of sprinters at the end of the 205—kilometre run — from bologna to fucecchio to claim the victory. the top end of the general classication remains unchanged, with primoz roglic keeping the pink jersey and britain's simon yates following close behind in second. the swedish golfer marcus kinhult produced nerves of steel to win the british masters in southport. kinhult had the lead, then lost it, and with the prospect of a four—way play—off looming, he needed a birdie at the last for victory — and he made it, to win by a single shot from a group including england's matt wallace. this is kinhult‘s first european tour title. great britain's men have won a bronze medal at the world relay championships

in the ax100m in yokohama, japan. nethaneel mitchell—bla ke anchored the team, and caught china to secure third place. the british quartet ran a world leading time yesterday, but it was beaten today by the gold medal winners, brazil. gb will be looking to retain their world championship relay title in doha later this year. mumbai indians have won the indian premier league — clinching the competition by a single run against the chennai super kings. it's their fourth ipl title — lasith malinga took the wicket of shardul thakur with final ball. chennai scored 20 runs in 18th over to give them chance of victory.. but it wasn't to be. and somerset will play hampshire in the final of cricket's one day cup. the holders beat lancashire by 4 wickets in southampton, james fuller striking the winning runs for the home side.

after rilee roussouw scored 85, and james vince got 79, lancashire were all out for 242. somerset await them then, they beat nottinghamshire by 115 runs at trent bridge. the final is at lord's on 25 may. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. hello there. that evening. as expected, it was a lovely day out there today. sunnier and warmer across many parts of the country. a couple of weather watcher pictures first of all showing their sunshine. just very limited complexion that we had today, staying fine and dry. you can see how much the cloud bubbled up can see how much the cloud bubbled up on the earlier satellite picture but there wasn't much of that at

all. we have seen a bit more cloud coming into northern ireland, has been quite thin and high, some of it pushing into scotland overnight. thick enough in the far north of scotla nd thick enough in the far north of scotland to being some spots of rain. it is going to be another chilly night but not as cold as in last night for northern scotland because of the cloud, just a bit of frost across east anglia. a bit touch and go. as we look ahead into much of next week actually, it's going to be dry with lots of sunshine and those temperatures are continuing to rise. high pressure is bringing a change in the weather compared to what we had last week. the high pressure is going to dominate into the week ahead, sitting on top of this for the start of the week. at times the northern half of the uk will have some hazy sunshine but it shouldn't spoil the day. sunshine further south. the temperatures are continuing to rise thanks to a southerly breeze, which

in 20 degrees for western parts of northern ireland and the murray of earth as well. a warmer day for east anglia and east yorkshire. some try on the way on tuesday with very little cloud bubbling up at all. a bit more of a breeze across the south—east of england with temperatures not quite as high, but they are rising for many other parts of the uk. it is probably on wednesday that we get the peak of the heat. sunny skies across the board the heat. sunny skies across the boa rd pretty the heat. sunny skies across the board pretty much with a southerly breeze pushing the warmth across northern ireland, north—west england and scotland where we may get 23 or 24 and scotland where we may get 23 or 2a degrees across northern scotland. the easterly greens brings down the temperatures. for the moment it is dry. the high—pressure drifting northwards back up to scandinavia through thursday and we open the door to more of an easterly breeze, and the potential by the end of the week to perhaps see some rain coming in. the easterly breeze will see the temperatures drop through thursday and friday.
