Summary:
Arsenal regain their Premier League title this year and also the League Cup. It was the tightest race in years however as they only won the title on the last day on goal difference over Tottenham. Tottenham did manage to beat Napoli in the Euro Cup final though (their 2nd win in 3 years). Liverpool won the FA Cup but Daniel Ertmann did not feature in that game. Chelsea won their 2nd Champions League title in 3 years, which makes up for their 4th place finish in the league.
Inter finally wins the title after 4 years. Palermo slip to 3rd after last season's successful campaign. Catania was the Italian Cup winner and they also managed 4th place in the league.
Over in Spain, the revolving door at the top continues as Barcelona won the title as well as the Spanish Cup. They nearly made it a treble but lost to Chelsea in the Champions League final.
The title race in France was closer this year but Lyon defended their title successfully, just 1 point ahead of PSG. Jace Hunter's club last season (CS Sedan Ardennes) went straight back down to Ligue 2, coming in 19th out of 20 places. Lyon did a domestic double in France while Marseille defended their League Cup.
Leverkusen won their 3rd title in 4 years in the Bundesliga, this time by a convincing 11 points. Bayern did manage some revenge though by winning the German Cup but that is a minor consolation for a side used to winning major trophies.
