LONDON - Manchester City won their third straight Premier League crown after Arsenal's title challenge collapsed, big-spending Chelsea could only finish in mid-table and 2016 champions Leicester City were relegated.
Following is a summary of the campaigns of the 20 top-flight clubs, listed in order of their final positions.

After Tuesday night's global release of Ted Lasso S3E11 ("Mom City"), we've officially entered stoppage time in the series' arc with only one episode remaining until it's all (supposedly) over for good.
Next week's series finale brings with it a demand for closure on a number of long-running plot lines, and there's still plenty of time for more developments with these final episodes burgeoning in their runtime (episode 11 clocked in at one hour and nine minutes).
Consumada la derrota ante Chivas y la eliminación del Clausura 2023, Fernando Ortiz se paró frente a los micrófonos y no le puso azúcar a lo que debía decir y anunció que renunciaba a su cargo como entrenador del América.

Rivalry Week in MLS is a special time. Chaos wrapped in pandemonium served with a side of unpredictability. The best sides find a way to rise above the volatility, to keep their heads when all about them are losing theirs. Rivalry week separates the wheat from the chaff, and MLS Matchday 14 embodied that.
A través del sitio de la Concacaf se reveló la lista preliminar de 40 jugadores que contempla Diego Cocca para los partidos de la Selección Mexicana durante el mes de junio, los cuales incluyen un amistoso ante Camerún en San Diego y la semifinal del Final Four de la Liga de Naciones ante Estados Unidos.
¡Incondicionales!
In a word, forgettable. Following one of the most exciting matchdays of the MLS season, the league’s first foray into midweek play definitely did not live up to the billing, but there were still a few moments that caught our attention. Despite MLS Matchday 13 being promoted as a continuation of Rivalry Week, there were few games that truly fit that description, and it showed both on the field and in the scorelines.
Winning is great, but it’s even better when it’s against a rival. Goals mean more, away games are more demanding and everything is personal. Though the matches count just as much in the table, it's a day the fans circled on their calendars as soon as the schedules dropped. MLS Matchday 12 featured red cards aplenty, late winners and fans who went home filled with an anger that can only be felt after a loss in Rivalry Week.
Los rojinegros del Atlas lograron llevarse el primer capítulo del Clásico Tapatío de los cuartos de final del Clausura 2023 después de derrotar al Guadalajara por un marcador de 1-0. Sin embargo, un par de decisiones arbitrales rayando en lo polémico opacaron lo hecho en cancha por ambos equipos.
Penales, penales, penales y más penales.
Más allá de un par de remates que salieron raspando los postes y una polemiquita por un penal que no fue, el partido de ida de los cuartos de final entre Santos Laguna y Monterrey fue bastante pobre, tal como lo reflejó el 0-0 final.
Sin embargo, en medio de los bostezos, el retorno de Carlos Acevedo a la portería de los Guerreros – tras superar una molestia en su hombro derecho – capturó la atención de los aficionados. Y no necesariamente por su rendimiento, sino que por su nuevo look de bigote y barba.
The growth of the women's game has manifested in the biggest (32 teams), most audacious (co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand) World Cup yet. The individual talent pool, as evidenced by our following best players at the Women's World Cup list, has also never been more exciting.
There are some household names looking for one last legacy-defining tournament, but there's also an emerging next generation taking things to another level.
