This weekend represented the end of more than a couple of leagues. In England and Italy, though, the title and multiple meaningful league places were determined on the final day. Liverpool and Manchester City’s title race was decided by a three-goal burst in the span of five minutes from the sky blue squad. Leeds secured their place in the Premier League for one more season with a goal from an MLS draft pick, and AC Milan claimed their first Serie A title in 11 years.
