Teams highlights
Real Sociedad have qualified for the Champions League for the first time since 2013/14 and it was an epic day for La Real players.
They needed at least a point against former hero Antoine Griezmann’s Atletico Madrid, but a 1-2 defeat forced them to be dependent on Villarreal’s result at Rayo Vallecano.
And the Yellow Submarin’s defeat by 1-2 at 10th-place Vallecano meant for Kubo and co. a place in the regional top competition.
This is the Champions League football for the first time in 10 years and the third time since 2003.
Meanwhile, Arsenal, despite bottling up the English Premier League title to three-peat winners Man City, still earn their spot for the first time after six-years absence. Well, it’s a huge success for Mikel Arteta’s side, in a season that they ended up empty hands.
AC Milan sealed their group stage spot in a dramatic way too, by beating Juventus with Olivier Giroud’s only goal.
Lastly, the Champions’ League anthem plays at RC Lens as their presence is assured in the competition for the 1st time in 20 years.
