Meanwhile, on the football pitch, Birmingham City made headlines by securing the League One title with a record-breaking 111 points on May 3. The achievement marked a remarkable turnaround season for the club and was celebrated by fans as one of the most dominant performances in recent League One history.

In the Championship, both Leeds United and Burnley FC were in close contention to hit the 100-point milestone, a feat achieved by only a handful of teams in the league’s long history. Reading FC also made news with an ownership transfer to American businessman Rob Couhig, bringing renewed hope to supporters disillusioned by years of poor management under former owner Dai Yongge. In the Premier League, Aston Villa’s match against Fulham had significant implications for European qualification. In Germany, Bayern Munich continued their charge toward another Bundesliga title.
