Summary
Checking into a continental football hotel, it’s Jimbo, James Horncastle, Rafa Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo.

Dortmund secure silverware and a top 4 finish which might be enough to hang on to their stars.
Sporting are champions of Portugal for the first time in 19 years, with a young team and a very young and talented manager.
Juventus remain outside the top 4 heading into the last day of the season, despite a bizarre Derby d’Italia victory over Inter.
Plus Andre Silva to Man City, Zinedine Zidane’s future and the runners and riders in Eurovision this Saturday.
