The 2023/24 season is coming to an end. Some of the main leagues in Europe have already been defined: in Spain, Real Madrid won LaLiga with great solvency over a Barcelona that was barely able to get a foothold this year; In France, PSG lifted the Ligue 1 trophy (again) in what was Kyllian Mbappé’s farewell to the institution. In Spain they are already waiting for him with open arms to be another merengue. And in Germany the unbeatable Bayer Leverkusen broke with the hegemony of Bayern Munich (poor Harry Kane) and won the first Bundesliga in its history.
At the same time, in a few days the Premier League will be defined: Manchester City needs a win (other results will also be enough) to stay in sixth place in the last 10 games. Arteta’s Arsenal threatens second place but, except for a big surprise, everything seems to indicate that it will not be enough for them to celebrate.
As if that were not enough, in two weeks we will have the grand final of the Champions League. Wembley will witness the most important match of the year, which this time will be played between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund. Madrid will try to win its 15th Orejona against the obscure German, who will go for their second Champions League.
