Hey now, Everton fans are the only ones that get to complain about getting screwed by PL officiating.
Pep makes it official that he's leaving City this summer. He will become a global ambassador and give technical advice to clubs within the City Football Group.

Today's clinching scenarios for Championship Sunday:
Villa
-Finish 4th with at least a draw at City (This would result in 6th and 7th in the table qualifying for Europa League)
-Finish 5th with a loss and Liverpool win vs. Brentford (This would result in 6th qualifying for Champions League and 7th qualifying for Europa League)
Under either scenario, 8th place qualifies for Conference League.
Liverpool
-Finish 4th with a win and a Villa loss at City due to superior goal difference
-Finish 5th and qualify for Champions League with at least a draw
-Finish 6th with a loss and Bournemouth overcoming a 6 goal deficit
There is a remote scenario out there where Liverpool and Bournemouth have to play an end-of-season playoff to decide the final Champions League spot. It would require Liverpool to lose 1-0 and Bournemouth win 5-0. If this happened, their goals scored, goals conceded, head-to-head points and away goals against one another would all be identical.
Bournemouth
-Qualify for Champions League with at least a draw coupled with a Villa loss, Liverpool win, and Brighton loss to Manchester United.
Brighton
-Finish 6th with a win and a Bournemouth loss. They would qualify for Champions League in this scenario if Villa lose and Liverpool win.
-Qualify for at least Europa League with a win. A loss could potentially see them finish 9th and out of European qualification.
Chelsea
-Finish 7th with a win and a draw or loss by Brighton or a draw and a Brighton loss by two goals and a Brentford draw or loss.
-A loss would mean they fail to qualify for Europe.
Brentford
-Finish in top 8 with a better result than Chelsea.
-Qualify for Europa League with a win and Chelsea and Brighton both draw or lose.
Sunderland
-Must win against Chelsea to finish in the top 8.
-Qualify for Europe with a win and Brentford loss or draw.
-Finish 7th in the table with a win, Brentford loss or draw, and Brighton loss.
Spurs
-Victory over Everton guarantees safety though a draw would basically do it as well even with a West Ham win against Leeds due to a +12 GD.
West Ham
-Can only secure safety with a win and a Spurs loss.
Villa
-Finish 4th with at least a draw at City (This would result in 6th and 7th in the table qualifying for Europa League)
-Finish 5th with a loss and Liverpool win vs. Brentford (This would result in 6th qualifying for Champions League and 7th qualifying for Europa League)
