1:46 am
incredible season. but we did it, we beat them. this organisation, all the people working here for the fans and not winning, everybody is here for these guys. so we support them and we tried to do our best, and we did it. so all the respect for these incredible players that we have. two in14 games in incredible players that we have. two in 14 games in a row it was unbelievable, and now it's time to celebrate. we are the champions —— to win 14 games. we have a very important game, the travel, which no—one has ever seen important game, the travel, which no—one has ever seen at important game, the travel, which no—one has ever seen at this club. and hopefully next season we can bring the champions league. we want that as well, come on. our sports editor dan roan was at the etihad stadium and says this team could dominate for a number of years. they are the first team to retain the title for a decade. they are on the title for a decade. they are on the verge of a domestic travel. that isa the verge of a domestic travel. that is a measure, i think, just how strong this city side are and the fa ct strong this city side are and the fact that liverpool amassed 97 points and lostjust one game, almost any other year that would be
1:47 am
good enough to be champions themselves. i think it tells you what you need to know aboutjust how impressive this city squad has become under the coach. liveable, there will be pride as well as regret. they are seven points clear at one stage. but over the last few weeks city have been simply ruthless and relentless when it mattered most, and i think with the likes of vincent kompany, and the coach, pep guardiola, they have men who this clu b guardiola, they have men who this club have come to rely on, and perhaps their supremacy will go on for yea rs perhaps their supremacy will go on for years to come. for liverpool, the wait for their first league title since 1990 continues. they broke so many records this season, and only lost once, but it wasn't quite enough. they kept the pressure on city until the end, beating wolves 2—0 at anfield thanks to two goals from sadio mane. their total of 97 points is the most by any team finishing second. congratulations to manchester city, well done. i have to say, yeah, we tried everything to make it
1:48 am
as difficult for you as possible. i think we did, but not difficult enough. that's the only thing. apart from that 97 points, i couldn't be more proud we've lost one game all season. people might talk about the draws, but we tried everything to win. we've done everything in every game. so you can't look back on anything. we've given everything for the whole season. we just ran out of time, we've run out of games, and city have been amazing as well, a fantastic side. so you've got to take your hat off to them. but next season, after a break — we'll need a break after the champions league final, hopefully it's a good one after that. then hopefully next season we will come out fighting again, and give everything to try and get the premier league. in spain, real madrid lost 3—1 at real sociedad, meaning they can't finish any higher

than third this season. while ajax have all but won the dutch eredivisie title, after they beat utrecht in amsterdam and second—placed psv eindhoven lost to az alkmaar. they had fallen behind, but a revival including two from dusan tadic made it 4—1. they are three points clear and have a goal difference 14 better than psv. in italy, juventus lost their third serie a game of the season, as the champions, despite modelling a new kit, lost 2—0 at roma. edin dzeko scored the second at the stadio olimpico, as it took his side level on points with fifth—placed milan and one behind inter, who are fourth with two matches remaining. rangers secured back—to—back home wins over celtic for the first time in seven years, beating the scottish champions 2—0 at ibrox. it also ends celtic‘s 12—game unbeaten run since valencia ended their europa league hopes. in the a—league, sydney fc are through to the grand final, where they will face perth glory in western australia next sunday. that is after they accounted for current champions
1:50 am
melbourne victory 6—1, which was sydney fc‘s biggest finals win and victory‘s biggest loss. novak djokovic won another title, to draw level with rafael nadal‘s record number of 33 victories in masters events. the world number one beat stefanos tsitsipas in the madrid open final, where he never dropped a set all week. richard mcelvanney reports. he hasjust he has just celebrated 250 weeks as well number one, and know shock of it looks like he has many more at the top in him. twice a champion in madrid already, he was quickly into his stride against the kings layer. stefa nos his stride against the kings layer. stefanos tsitsipas had taken rafi on the dial out in their semi—final, and at times looked like he might add another big scalp to his growing collection. the 20—year—old greek already has wins against the big three to his name, but a repeat
1:51 am
wasn't going to happen here. jock vic took control and took the first set 6—3. tsitsipas wasn't going to give up, though, and he did have his chancesin give up, though, and he did have his chances in the second. they would eventually pass him by. that set up a break of serve for the serve, and he would surge ahead. no—one has taken a set offjock of each at this yea r‘s taken a set offjock of each at this year's tournament, taken a set offjock of each at this yea r‘s tournament, and taken a set offjock of each at this year's tournament, and it would remain the case —— djokovic. a marathon match ended, with djokovic taking the match 6—4, and a third victory in madrid. he is very talented, he beat raphael nadella yesterday, and i think they finished theirs at midnight. i could see he wasn't as dynamic and the movements as he was last night, and that is probably due to the long matches he has had. but he has had a terrific week, and it is a big win, obviously for me today, and in this tournament, and i am really looking forward to continuing the streak in

rome. another in italy would make djokovic the outright leaving winner of masters events, and put down a big marker ahead of the only grand slam on clay, the french open, at the end of the month. let's bring you up to date with some of the other sports stories making the headlines: mumbai indians beat chennai super kings byjust one run to win the their fourth indian premier league title. lasith malinga took a wicket with the very last ball to win the match. german pascal ackermann won a sprint at the end of the second stage of the giro d'italia in fucecchio. the bunch finish meant no change to the overall lead, with slovenia's primoz roglic still in the pinkjersey after the 205 km stage from bologna. lewis hamilton moved back to the top of the formula one world championship standings after claiming victory in the spanish grand prix. mercedes claimed a fifth successive one—two of the season, as valtteri bottas finished second, with red bull's max verstappen third. sweden's marcus kinhult won his maiden european tour title by beating england's matt wallace on the final hole of the british
1:53 am
masters. the pair were tied with two others on 15—under, but wallace missed a 15—foot putt on the last, before kinhult sunk a ten—foot birdie to claim the win. in the nhl, the boston bruins defeated the carolina hurricanes 6—2 in game two of the eastern conference finals, to take a 2—0 lead in their best—of—seven series. matt grzelcyk scored two for the bruins, and despite the hurricanes scoring tweice in the third period, they couldn't do enough, with game three in carolina on tuesday. our start was good. they were physical, we answered the bell. we didn't give up much in the first, i think there was one tipped scoring chance, and we demonstrated some of oui’ chance, and we demonstrated some of our own. took advantage of a power—play opportunity, and had the lead going into the first intermission. always our goal, and on—time start, hopefully with the
1:54 am
lead, extend the lead, play winning hockey to finish the game. it is kind of how we approach it every night, and i think this, to answer your question, was as close as i can recall. manchester city's premier league celebrations are all over social media. lifelong city supporter noel gallagher put in an impromptu performance, singing one of his songs from his oasis days in the changing rooms afterwards. and i'm sure the celebrations will continue into monday, before attention turns to the fa cup final against watford on saturday, and the chances of a domestic treble. just enough time to let you know in the nba, the last of the western conference semifinals, philadelphia at toronto. 3—3 in the series, toronto leading with the fourth and final quarterjust under way. from me and the rest of the team, goodbye.
1:55 am
hello there, good morning. it was 18 degrees again on sunday, but for many of us it's going to get warmer over the next few days. the weather this week looks very different from what we had last week. this was a typical weather pattern — jetstream to the south. we were in the colder air. that brought showers and longer spells of rain, as much as an inch of rain in some places last week. but at least for the next few days, the jetstream is deflected well to the north of the uk. we're in the warmer air. and we've got high pressure that's dominating and keeping dry just about everywhere. having said that, though, there is this cloud that's spilling over the top of it. that's pushing its way into scotland, and it's not as cold here as it has been during recent nights. pretty chilly elsewhere, mind you. and maybe a pinch of frost here and there, especially
1:56 am
towards east anglia. the cloud across northern scotland is going to produce a little rain and drizzle. that's going to be affecting shetland first thing in the morning. tail end of a weather front, that moves through, and we're left with some thin, high cloud. it means the sunshine could be a little hazy at times. not going to spoil the day. plenty of sunshine. light winds for most of us. and temperatures continuing to rise. may be 20 degrees were parts of northern ireland and around the moray firth as well. as we head through tuesday and wednesday, still looks pretty good across some southern and eastern parts of the uk. temperatures are going to be around 17—18 degrees. warm in the sunshine. but there will be an easterly breeze. temperatures, though, will be higher further west and north, north wales, north—west england, northern ireland, and scotland, with 23 degrees or so perhaps in scotland on wednesday. that's probably the peak of the heat. and that's because after that the position of the high, the centre, is going
1:57 am
to shift further north, up towards scandinavia. it opens the door to this easterly airflow and this lower pressure across the continent, that could eventually bring cloud as in patchy rain our way. still dry, though, ithink on thursday, and some sunshine around. we'll see a bit more cloud coming in off the north sea, and we'll have this easterly breeze as well. that's going to be felt certainly around those north sea coasts. but even further west, temperatures will not be quite as high on thursday as they will be on tuesday and wednesday. and as we move into friday, still a lot of uncertainty about the details, but we are seeing more cloud. we're seeing some showers or some longer spells of rain. now it's a little bit further south. what is more certain is that the temperatures will continue to drop away in those easterly winds, and with more cloud, we're back to around 14—16 degrees. so that's nearer normal for this time of year. but ahead of that, for the next few days, a lot of warmth, a lot of sunshine, dry weather too. the weather starts to change, though, during thursday and into friday.
