Right after Lewandowski’s last match at Camp Nou as an FC Barcelona player. All his teammates made his iconic fist-pumping pose, just like Lewandowski does every time he scores. In the video, you can see the players smiling—some clearly overjoyed—and Gavi was by far the most emotional of them all. At the end of the video, Hansi Flick appeared doing Lewandowski’s signature pose and said: “Lewy, thank you for everything, good luck.” This moment perfectly represents what Robert Lewandowski means to FC Barcelona.

Jamie Vardy continues to give us one of the stories of the season in Italian football. Jamie Vardy has scored 2 goals in his last 2 matches, becoming the team’s best player in consecutive games and heading into the final matchday with a chance to secure survival in Serie A. The 39-year-old English striker is very close to saving Cremonese from relegation. Many doubt his ability, but for the man who used to work in a factory while playing in England’s seventh division and later went on to win the Premier League, nothing is impossible. THE JAMIE VARDY SHOW IS NOT OVER YET.

Meanwhile in Brazil, Neymar Jr. was called up by Brazil to play his last World Cup at 34 years old. In Croatia, Luka Modrić was also called up by the Croatian national team to play his last World Cup at 40 years old. In Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo was called up by the Portugal national team to play his last World Cup at 41 years old. THE LAST DANCE OF THE LEGENDS.

Imagine celebrating your birthday as a Premier League champion. What happened to Ricardo Calafiori is every football fan’s dream. On his 24th birthday, he celebrated winning the Premier League title. Calafiori had the best birthday of his life — being together with all his teammates celebrating the most important league title in club football worldwide, ending Arsenal’s 22-year drought without winning the Premier League. THIS IS CINEMA.

Erling Haaland could not hold back his tears after losing the Premier League title. The Norwegian is the Premier League’s top scorer. He will win another Golden Boot. But this time, it wasn’t enough. Proof that being the best in football will not always be enough. Last Saturday, he won the FA Cup but was still upset for not having scored, and now he scored for Manchester City, but it still wasn’t enough to keep the dream of winning the Premier League alive on the final matchday.

A few weeks ago, after Arsenal’s defeat to Manchester City in the Premier League, many Arsenal players were devastated. Everyone was saying that they had just let the league slip away with that loss. But Declan Rice was the only one encouraging his teammates, telling them that the title race was not over yet. Now, Arsenal are Premier League champions, ending a 22-year drought without winning the best league in the world. Since arriving at Arsenal, Declan Rice injected a winning mentality into the team. These are the kinds of players that make a team champion. He always knew they were capable. A TRUE LEADER.

Piero Hincapié is the perfect example of what a true professional player is. When he arrived at Arsenal, many doubted him, saying he didn’t have the level to play in the best league in the world. But Hincapié worked quietly, stayed away from controversy, and from day one earned his place in Arteta’s team. To put into perspective what Hincapié achieved, he became the second Ecuadorian player to win the Premier League, and he did it in his very first season with Arsenal. And on May 30, he will play in the Champions League final. PIERO HINCAPÍE HAS AN ELITE MENTALITY.

This gesture from Lamine Yamal before the FC Barcelona match deserves a standing ovation. Even though he’s still injured, he was present at Camp Nou to witness the tribute to his friend Robert Lewandowski. Before the match began, Antony approached Lamine and asked if he could take a photo with his son. Antony’s son is a huge admirer of Lamine, and the FC Barcelona player didn’t just take a picture with him — he also gave him an autograph and a warm hug. The look on the little boy’s face says it all. IT’S IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO LOVE LAMINE.

Endrick has just experienced the greatest moment of his life, proving that dreams really do come true. The 19-year-old Brazilian footballer, together with his entire family, received the news that he will play in his very first World Cup. Endrick could hardly believe it, and his wife burst into tears — more than anyone, she knows everything the love of her life suffered through and fought for to reach this moment. Endrick’s happiness was overwhelming. He immediately began celebrating by touching his wife’s belly — in a few months, their first child will be born. What the most beautiful sport in the world can create is simply indescribable. Who would have imagined just one year ago that Endrick would be living the moment of his life

A few months ago, LEGO managed to bring together Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for what became the most epic ad of recent years. At the time, football fans everywhere started calling for Neymar too, saying it was disrespectful not to include him. Many brands left Neymar out of World Cup-related advertising campaigns. Few believed he would make it. Today, after the official announcement of Neymar’s call-up to play in the World Cup, Santos posted a photo of Neymar holding his LEGO figure in front of the World Cup trophy with the caption: ‘The missing piece.’ Now the World Cup is truly ready.

In England, Casemiro was playing his final match at Old Trafford with Manchester United. In Italy, Stephan El Shaarawy was playing his last match at the Olimpico with AS Roma.

THIS IS WHERE THE FOOTBALL WORLD CRIES.

Endrick left the pitch emotional in his final match with Olympique Lyonnais. The Brazilian could not hide his sadness after playing his last game for the French club. Endrick says goodbye to Olympique Lyonnais after recording 8 goals and 8 assists in 21 matches. Incredible numbers. Endrick arrived in January on loan from Real Madrid, and in just a few months he became a star, earned everyone’s respect, and even learned French.

Robert Lewandowski was left alone after his final match at Camp Nou. Standing at midfield, he eventually sat down, trying to process everything he had just experienced. It was his last great night as a player for FC Barcelona in the stadium where he had always dreamed of playing. Lewandowski took in Camp Nou one final time. Lewandowski couldn’t stop looking at the banner the Barça supporters had made for him, which read: “Robert, with you it all began.” At one time it was Ronaldinho, then Lionel Messi, and now Lewandowski — three men who were fundamental to the resurgence of the blaugrana club. DON’T CRY BECAUSE IT ENDED, SMILE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED.

We never believed Griezmann’s farewell would hurt this much. After the final whistle, all of his teammates formed a guard of honor while the entire stadium gave him a standing ovation. And at that very moment, Griezmann broke down in tears like we had never seen before. Then legends like Diego Godín, Fernando Torres, Jan Oblak, Koke, and José María Giménez appeared. All the legends came together to pay tribute to the all-time top scorer in the history of Atlético de Madrid. In his 500th match for Atlético de Madrid across his entire career, Antoine Griezmann provided the assist for Atlético’s winning goal and was named Man of the Match. While Antoine Griezmann was being honored, tears kept flowing from the stands of the Metropolitano. It was the end of the greatest legend in the club’s history. The moment that truly broke us was seeing Diego Simeone crying as he watched Antoine Griezmann say goodbye to the club he loves most. The tears of a father watching his son say farewell. Words will never be enough to explain what “The Little Prince” means in the history of Atlético.

Aboslute CHAOS during Neymar’s substitution for Santos: • Neymar was receiving treatment on the sidelines while Robinho Jr. prepared to come on • The fourth referee mistakenly announced Neymar as the player being substituted • Robinho Jr. entered the pitch REPLACING Neymar… while Neymar was still OFF the pitch received treatment • Neymar then tried to return to the match but referees didn't allow him to do it as the change was made • Neymar then picked the referee's substitution card and showed the cameras to prove he was NEVER supposed to be taken off, as in the substitution card there was the name of another player, not Neymar In the end, Neymar was unable to return to the match and left annoyed, as this was his LAST match before Carlo Ancelotti announced the World Cup squad.

🚨 𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗙𝗨𝗟: Antoine Griezmann walked onto the pitch with his four children for his final match at the Metropolitano. 🥹❤️

During FC Bayern Munich’s celebrations after winning the Bundesliga, Michael Olise was giving an interview but seemed far more focused on his teammates, who were waiting to drench him in beer. Olise noticed them and immediately ran away. A few minutes later, he returned, and his teammates stood beside him waiting for the interview to end so they could soak him. The interview felt endless, and Olise himself clearly did not want to leave because he knew what was coming. Then the legendary Bastian Schweinsteiger gave the signal for them to do it. The players followed the instructions and drenched Olise with beer. He simply smiled and accepted his fate. IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO LOVE HIM.

José Mourinho could not hold back his emotions after managing his final match with SL Benfica. Let’s remember that Mourinho took over Benfica when they were sitting in sixth place in the Portuguese league. He has now finished the season in third place while remaining unbeaten. Mourinho’s Benfica was the only team in Europe’s top leagues to finish the season undefeated. They went 30 league matches without a loss. They defeated FC Porto in the Clássico. They defeated Sporting CP in the derby. This may have been his final match with Benfica before joining Real Madrid CF next season, returning to the biggest club in the world. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A LEGEND ON THE TOUCHLINE
