5 GIFs from the weekend - End of the season's fires Stunning goals, verdicts, rabone and epic scenes from the English second division

It was an electrifying weekend, as often happens in the season final moments: after the 1-1 in the Italian derby between Inter and Juventus that maybe will be remembered more for the television brawl between Allegri and Lele Adani than for the wonder goal by Nainggolan, the bad moment of AC Milan continues, losing in Turin, reaching the rankings by Granata and moving away from fourth place, now occupied by Ranieri's AS Roma. Meanwhile Barça mathematically won the Spanish Liga (eighth title in the last eleven years), thanks to a goal by ... Leo Messi, of course; while in the Premier League the long distance duel between Liverpool (5-0 against Huddersfield) and City (1-0 at Burnley) continues, with Citizens at +1 on the Reds two gamedays before the end. Norwich and Sheffield United were officially promoted to the top flight. In Germany, however, Borussia collapses in the home derby against Schalke and sees Bayern leave. In France, the French Cup goes to Rennes who beat PSG in comeback on penalties, with Ben Arfa in tears while Neymar hits a fan with a fist.

In the worst game of the year, the pass of the English youngster for Gotze is a gem, the last of its amazing season. (And there are 14 assists in the league).

When Jamie Vardy plays against the big ones, it is to be afraid: against Arsenal the Leicester striker makes a brace, and the first goal arrives even from the launch of Schmeichel.

They are increasingly rare, but they are so exciting: this time it's all about the Villarreal midfielder, Pablo Fornals.

It's really true that with 'el Loco' Bielsa you never get bored: Leeds scores with a man down in the big match against Aston Villa...

... and then the Argentine coach orders his guys to concede scoring the rivals. It will end 1-1 with a maxi brawl included, and for Leeds the hopes of direct promotion end.
