NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, England -- Arsenal have blown two opportunities in the space of four days to take control of their Champions League destiny and they have only themselves to blame for the fact that they are now relying on relegated Norwich to throw them an unlikely lifeline in their losing battle to return to club football's biggest competition.

Jurgen Klopp said it has been a "good season" for Liverpool even if they fall short in their Quadruple bid and miss out on winning the Premier League and Champions League. Liverpool secured their second trophy of the campaign on Saturday after beating Chelsea on penalties at Wembley to win the FA Cup for the first time since 2006.

Arsenal’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League suffered a perhaps fatal blow as Newcastle United took a deserved 2-0 home win.Defeat leaves Mikel Arteta’s side two points behind rivals Tottenham, who possess a vastly superior goal difference and need only a draw against Norwich on the final day to be sure of a top four finish.The visitors produced a flat performance at St James’s Park, hustled by Newcastle’s high press and battling to contain a direct, dynamic forward lineThough Arsenal, very much on the back foot, managed to escape the first half without conceding, Ben White turned a Joelinton...

Chelsea could join the race to sign Robert Lewandowski despite the Bayern Munich forward favouring a summer move to Barcelona. Lewandowski’s future is up in the air after he made clear he was unwilling to extend his Bayern contract, which expires in the summer of 2023. The Poland international has long been interested in playing in Spain and sources have indicated that he has verbally agreed a three-year deal with Barça, who are working to sign him.

Another weekend in European soccer yielded another flurry of talking points! In England, Manchester City clawed back at West Ham to remain in charge of the Premier League title race with one weekend remaining, while Liverpool looked tired in the FA Cup final but still had enough juice to defeat Chelsea on penalties. The German Bundesliga season ended with Erling Haaland's farewell to Borussia Dortmund and Robert Lewandowski saying he wants out of Bayern Munich. In Italy, AC Milan and Inter Milan both won to keep the Serie A title battle alive heading into the final round of games, while Spain's LaLiga (and PSG in France) enjoyed a fairly relaxed weekend.

On Sunday night, while winning the Ligue 1 Player of the Year award, PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe admitted an announcement on his future would come soon and that he had made a decision about his future. That announcement still hasn't happened, but the forward who is set to be out of contract this summer could be on his way to join Real Madrid.

The race is not run yet, but for Arsenal, it certainly feels like they have crashed into a brick wall just as they were dipping their heads at the finishing line. It is not just that they need to break out of their own negative spiral, but that they need the worst team in the Premier League to bail them out.

Xhaka also claimed that Arsenal do not even deserve to play in the Europa League next season after their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League took a heavy blow.

Arsenal do not deserve to qualify for the Champions League on the basis of their performance in Monday's 2-0 defeat at Newcastle, says Granit Xhaka. The midfielder felt his side's display showed they could not handle the pressure of chasing a top-four spot. Victory for the Gunners would have moved...

James Milner celebrated Liverpool’s FA Cup victory by treating himself to a Coke on the coach from Wembley to the airport. “Full fat, because Diet Coke is worse for you,” he claimed. By 10.30 the next morning he was sitting through a video analysis meeting of Southampton. Chasing a quadruple is not all glamour.

Arsenal's hopes of finishing in the Premier League top four were dealt a huge blow as they were well beaten by Newcastle at St James' Park. Mikel Arteta's side needed a win to move above Tottenham into fourth and put them in the driving seat to secure a Champions League spot heading into the final weekend of the season.
