Guardiola, who will go down as one the finest managers of his generation, confirmed on Friday he will step down at City after collecting 20 trophies during a memorable decade in charge. His last game started well as January signing Antoine Semenyo volleyed in the opener after a corner was flicked on at the near post, with the former Bournemouth man taking his tally to 17 league goals in a superb campaign. But Europa League winners Villa and their in-form striker Watkins were party poopers as they responded brilliantly in the second half. England defender John Stones, making his last City appearance, was punished for a poor headed clearance as Watkins poked in the equaliser immediately after the break. The magnitude of the occasion then hit home for City as departing captain Bernardo Silva was given a guard of honour when substituted by Guardiola, with both men in tears as they embraced on the touchline. Watkins then turned the game around on the hour mark, running clear before coolly finishing past England team-mate James Trafford. The goal was initially ruled out for offside but was awarded by the video assistant referee as Ruben Dias was playing him on. Phil Foden thought he had rescued a last-minute draw for City with a thumping finish via the crossbar, but the goal was ruled out for offside, with Guardiola slumping back in his seat in disappointment. The result meant Villa confirmed their fourth-place finish and ruled out any hope Bournemouth had of qualifying for the Champions League.

Both sides named experimental line-ups, with Palace in the Conference League final on Wednesday and Arsenal in Saturday's Champions League showpiece. And with nothing on the game for either of these sides - with the title wrapped up for Arsenal in the week - the match, with its lack of intensity and scheduled drinks breaks in the heat, had the feeling of a pre-season match. Gabriel Jesus, who had missed two good opportunities earlier in the first half, gave Arsenal the lead in the 42nd minute with a tidy finish, before Noni Madueke doubled the score shortly after half-time from a trademark Arsenal corner to wrap up Arsenal's 26th league win of the campaign. Palace substitute Jean-Philippe Mateta added a consolation for Palace when he flicked in Yeremy Pino's cross with one minute of normal time left. Pino thought he had snatched an unlikely draw when he fired in during stoppage time, but the ball had hit Evann Guessand - who was in an offside position - on its way in, with Palace finishing 15th in the table and six points clear of the drop. Arteta made nine changes from the side that played against Burnley and named Max Dowman in his starting line-up, with the midfielder becoming the youngest ever player to start a Premier League match at 16 years and 144 days old. It was also the first time Eberechi Eze had returned to his former club since he left Palace in a deal worth £67m, and the England international was given a hero's welcome - having scored the winning goal for Palace in the FA Cup final last season. There was one slight worry for Arsenal as Madueke had to leave the pitch with what looked like a hamstring issue. However, the winger did not look in too much discomfort and will hope to be available for both the Champions League final and World Cup, having been called up by England. The result of the match was of insignificance for the travelling Arsenal fans, with all of them here just to see their side lift the Premier League trophy after such a long wait.

Strains of the old "Glory, Glory" anthem echoed inside the giant stadium as Tottenham Hotspur stepped back from the precipice of the most humiliating relegation in Premier League history. Spurs players and supporters were in unison at last as they could finally look forward to next season as a top-flight club, victory against Everton on the final day ensuring survival and sending West Ham United into the Championship. Slowly, a note of dissent was introduced as a giant banner was unfurled by supporters, reading: "Promised Success. Delivering Failure. ENIC out." The fans who have suffered so much mediocrity were entitled to their outpouring – after all, this was only the third home league win they have witnessed this season, albeit in arguably the club's biggest game in recent history. For the Spurs players, the instant exuberance was understandable, but embarrassment should have quickly descended on them as they listened to their supporters chanting "We Are Staying Up". The very sound of those words, the preserve of strugglers, should reverberate through the whole club. Once Tottenham High Road empties of its revellers, the inquest from top to bottom must begin.

The Catalans, who finished third two seasons ago, needed to win to stay up but were held to a 1-1 draw by Elche. Mallorca are also down despite a 3-0 win over bottom side Real Oviedo that saw them finish on 42 points, level with Osasuna and Levante. However, Mallorca were consigned to the second tier after losing the head-to-head tiebreaker between the three clubs. Champions Barcelona were beaten 3-1 at Valencia but it was not enough for Carlos Corberan's side to sneak into the European places. Sixth place and a Europa League spot went to Celta Vigo after their 1-0 win over Sevilla, while Getafe's 1-0 win over Osasuna helped them finish seventh and claim Conference League qualification. Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe were both on target as Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 4-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu in Dani Carvajal's 451st and final appearance for the club.

After a goalless first half at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Kane stooped to head home Michael Olise's back-post cross to put Vincent Kompany's side in front in the 55th minute. The former Tottenham striker added his second 10 minutes from time, spinning as he received Luis Diaz's pass before slotting home. He then stepped up to convert a stoppage-time penalty to seal the win and his second hat-trick in as many games. Kane's cup-winning goals cap a remarkable season with Bayern in which he finishes with an astonishing 61 goals in 51 games. After Bayern secured the Bundesliga title for the second season running earlier in May and the German Supercup last August, Kane has now won four trophies since joining the German giants in the summer of 2023. What proved to be a comfortable win over Sebastian Hoeness' Stuttgart gives Bayern their 21st German Cup win, and their first since 2019-20.
