In Germany, Bayer Leverkusen made headlines by completing a remarkable season without a single league loss, a historic achievement in Bundesliga history. Their unbeaten run culminated in their first-ever Bundesliga title, solidifying their place in football history. Leverkusen's final goal difference of +65 is the best by an unbeaten champion in Europe's top 5 leagues.

Meanwhile, in Spain, Alexander Sorloth stole the show by scoring four goals against Real Madrid in just 56 minutes, showcasing his prowess in front of goal. This remarkable performance added to the excitement of the penultimate weekend in La Liga, where Sorloth is also in contention for the Pichichi award.

In other notable achievements, Erling Haaland retained the Premier League Golden Boot with 27 goals, becoming the first player to do so since Mohamed Salah. Marco Reus bid farewell to Borussia Dortmund with his 120th Bundesliga goal, marking the end of an era for the club.

Cole Palmer's impressive season at Chelsea saw him become the first player from the club to record 40 goal contributions in a single campaign since Didier Drogba in 2009-10. Additionally, young talent Lamine Yamal made history by becoming the first player under 18 years old to achieve 10 goal contributions in a season in Europe's top 5 leagues in the last 15 years.
