Glory for Atlético and Lille and sweet relief for Juventus – Football Weekly

The season is over in Spain, Italy, France and Germany, so we round up the biggest stories from across the continent. We start with Atlético Madrid, who wrapped up La Liga thanks to another goal from Luis Suárez. What next for Real Madrid and Barcelona following poor seasons?

We then move to Italy, where Juventus pipped Napoli to fourth place after Gennaro Gattuso’s side dropped two vital points at home to Hellas Verona. We also discuss what’s next for Internazionale who face an uncertain summer despite winning Serie A.

Finally, we round up an exciting final day in France as Lille finally ended PSG’s grip on the Ligue 1 title. The biggest talking point in Germany was a historic 41st goal of the season by Robert Lewandowski, beating Gerd Müller’s Bundesliga scoring record in a single season.
