14 things we loved this weekend: Diallo, Gundogan, Keane, Clichy…
May is arguably the greatest month in the footballing calendar and this weekend’s action at the business end of the 2022-23 season lived up to expectations.
There were some cracking goals across Europe, while in the Premier League Manchester City took a giant stride to winning a third successive league title and the play-offs got underway in the Football League.
Here are 14 of our favourite moments from a brilliant weekend of action.
