Player Transfer records of the season
Real Madrid, with tactical genius in
André CML, reached final in champions league again, this time against Lazio, and this time the Italian team proved to be stronger.
In Spain, Real Madrid won the league title with a margin of 8 points ahead of Barcelona, who won Copa del Rey.
Everton, with Paulo Francisco, won
their second consecutive title and
the league cup against Manchester City.
Arsenal finished close second with four points margin, while Middlesbrough finished third. A league table standings virtually identical as last season's.
In Europe, Everton played well to reach the quarter finals in champions league where they were up against an old rival in Real Madrid, when Paulo was Barcelona manager. Losing both games put an end on Everton's European adventure.
Sunderland won promotion to premier league after a season in Championship.
