The 2018-19 season has officially been wrapped up with the Champions League final this past weekend and this campaign has been a really good one for the English clubs.
Both the Europa League final as well as the Champions League final was all-English affairs which means both the winners in Europe were bound to be from the Premier League.
Chelsea and Arsenal locked heads in the UEL final at the Baku Olympic Stadium and it was the Blues who came out 4-1 winners – crushing the Gunners courtesy of a certain Eden Hazard.
The Europa League final might have been marred by a number of controversies but on the pitch, it was the Eden Hazard show.
In the Champions League final might have had all the glitz and glamour off the pitch, but the match itself turned out to be one of the most boring ones in recent memory.
Liverpool came out 2-0 winners on the night thanks to goals from Mo Salah and Divock Origi.
Now Chelsea will take on Liverpool in the UEFA Super Cup and here’s all you need to know about the UEFA Super Cup:
