Description

Part 1

This week there is only one place to start: A long, long-overdue Bielsa Watch.

Part 2

• Is the title race even worth mentioning anymore? These teams just keep winning effortlessly.
• Meanwhile in the race for 6th place, these teams just keep losing effortlessly
• In Europe, Barcelona were officially crowned La Liga champions, but PSG lost the Coup de France final 6-5 on penalties in hilarious fashion. Dortmund also collapsed against bitter rivals Schalke, but I’d be a little more sympathetic to their downfall

Part 3

As of recording, the PFA Player of the Year Awards will take place this evening where Virgil Van Dijk has been hotly tipped as favorite to win the overall award for Player of the Year. Recent previous winners include his teammate Mo Salah, Chelsea pair Eden Hazard and N’Golo Kante, as well as Riyad Mahrez. Last week the Team of the Year was announced, and rather predictably Liverpool and Manchester City dominated the side, with only Paul Pogba reaching the team from outside the top 2. However, as you may have noticed, the season isn’t over yet. Is there a more practical way to do these awards? Do they accurately reflect the season we’ve had?

Part 4

The Champions League returns this midweek, after a one week break. First up is Ajax vs. Tottenham on Tuesday and on Wednesday Barcelona vs. Liverpool
