#3 European success
Regardless of your own loyalties in the game, it was difficult not to take your hat off for the spirited and quite exceptional performances put on by both Liverpool and Tottenham to secure their places in the 2018/19 Champions League final in Madrid.
Both teams pulled off exceptional comebacks and secured the first all-English final in a decade, a fine testament to the quality of the Premier League this season.
As if that weren't enough though, Chelsea and Arsenal also both secured their place in the Europa League final in Baku, defeating Frankfurt and Valencia respectively.
This means that, for the first time in history, the Europa League and Champions League final will both be contested by teams from the same country, which is quite the achievement for the Premier League.
Whoever walks away victorious from Baku and Madrid, one thing is for sure, and that is that English football is the real winner this year.
