What promised to be a clash of the Titans on the final day of the season, ended up seeing the Blues and the reds clinch the remaining two top 4 slots, as Leicester slipped down the log and into the Europa league. The more lively encounter took place at the Stamford Bridge as the blues were two goals up within the first 45mins, courtesy of a sumptuous free-kick by wonder-boy Mason Mount into the top corner, followed up by a superb strike from Oliver Giroud in less than one minute after Mason Mount's opener, who also assisted the striker. That will be the last goal in the encounter.  The first half of the other encounter at the King power stadium between Leicester and Manchester United, was very calm, but that all changed as the two teams came back from the half time break.

A win over Udinese today would have crowned them the champions of Italian Serie A for the 2019/20 season.  However,  a surprise was lying in wait for Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates as they stepped onto the pitch. In an impressive first half performance, Juventus took the lead in the 42nd minute via their young defender Mathias De Ligt as they entered the half time break 1-nil up and 45minutes away from being crowned Champions.  The 2nd 45minutes nonetheless were to be a different ball game as the home side Udinese levelled proceedings on the 52nd minute via Nestorovski to make it 1-1 on the night.
