Kylian Mbappe, Scott McTominay and Sunderland were the big winners of the weekend, while Aston Villa and Lazio in particular members. FlashScore views the winners and losers of the latest football weekend.
Winner: Kylian Mbappe
Last year criticized at PSG and was then selected for criticism when he arrived in Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappe finally removed doubts. Admittedly, he was unable to bring his team to all trophies, but individually, the number 9 more than his objectives fulfilled by ending as a Europe's top scorer, a first for a French player since Thierry Henry twenty years ago.
With 43 goals and five assists in 56 performances in all competitions, Mbappe has had a fantastic season.
Losers: Aston Villa
In the race for the Champions League the entire season, De Villans missed the last step on Sunday. At Manchester United, the team came by Unai Emery shortly after a few controversial decisions of the referee when they lost 2-0. In the rankings, Villa finished sixth, level at points with Newcastle and will have to do with the Europa League in 2025/2026.
Winners: Mctominay and Napoli
Who would have thought that a shot that had never left British football could perform so well in Italy? Probably nobody. On Friday, Scott Mctominay awarded his excellent individual season with a trophy by keeping Inter on the last day of the competition at a distance. Better yet, the former midfielder of Manchester United made the way to the title by scoring the opening goal of the game against Cagliari (2-0).
Losers: AC Milan and Lazio
On the other side of the table, the Rossoneri finished their season with a narrow 2-0 win over Monza. With 63 points, Milan finished eighth and will not play for the first time since 2020 in Europe next season.
The defeat against Bologna in the Italian cup final is therefore likely to leave its mark, while a revision is expected to take place this summer to start again. In the meantime, Lazio will not be in Europe in 2025/2026. Even worse, their Roman rivals have done better thanks to Claudio Ranieri, despite the fact that Roma remains far behind at the start of the season.
Winners: Sporting Lisbon
There were also contrasting stories in Portugal, because Sporting again got better from their Benfica rivals. Thanks to their hero Viktor Gyokeres, the Lions stunned the Eagles in stopping time in the Portuguese Cup final, before they come to the top in extra time (3-1).
For the first time since 2002, Sporting has reached the Double Double. Just like in the past seasons, their team will probably be shaken.
Losers: Benfica
Benfica has lost everything in a few days. Above all, Angel Di Maria has said goodbye to the Lisbon Club in the worst possible way. Benfica continues for a difficult period with League and Cup defeats against their rivals. Just like every summer there are probably some movements, but the goal is to win the competition.
Winners: Sunderland
Eight years ago the black cats were banned from the Premier League, but that is now history. On Sunday, the team coached their promotion in injury time against Sheffield United by Regis Le Bris.
As if he were about to do it, it was the young Englishman Tom Watson, who came from the youth team, who scored the winner.
Losers: Sheffield United
For the knives this does not mean promotion and they will stay in the championship next season. That is hard to take, because it is still a disappointment after last year's relegation. It is still to be seen whether Sheffield United can bounce back in 2025/2026.
