The 2024-25 Premier League season has concluded! Although Liverpool was crowned champions nearly a month ago and the relegations of Southampton, Ipswich Town, and Leicester City seemed inevitable for quite some time, there was still some business to finalize on Sunday.

With all 20 teams playing their last match of the season simultaneously, the stakes for qualification to the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League were still high.

Manchester City’s 2-0 victory over Fulham secured them third place, ensuring their return to Europe’s premier competition next season, finishing behind champions Liverpool (who drew 1-1 with Crystal Palace at Anfield) and Arsenal (who triumphed 2-1 at Southampton).
Chelsea football club, UEFA Conference League finalists who defeated Nottingham Forest 1-0, and Newcastle United, who sneak into the Champions League for the second time in three years, despite losing at their stadium to Everton.
Newcastle owes their fifth-place finish to Aston Villa, whose 2-0 defeat at Manchester United relegated them to sixth place, thus securing a spot in the Europa League. Nonetheless, consider Forest, who were previously an unexpected challenger for the title but concluded the season in seventh position but ended the season in seventh place a highly respectable finish for a club that fought against relegation last season, but not what it was dreaming of in January.
Man United’s historically poor Premier League season turned out to be not as disastrous as it could have been, as their victory against 10-man Villa lifted them to 15th place, while Tottenham Hotspur, who defeated them in Wednesday’s Europa League final, finished in 17th after suffering a 4-1 defeat at home to Brighton & Hove Albion.
