Closing time in Europa
With the summer getting closer people in Mallorca forgot all about football and C.D. Constància and the last seven weeks of the season were mostly uneventful. We picked up the occasional win along the way. Among them was a crazy 1-0 win against RCD Espanyol in a game where the two teams combined for twenty-two shots on goal but just a single goal scored by
Teodoro Bañare .

Another crazy couple of games was the two Champions League quarterfinal games between Juventus and Bayern Munich. Juventus won the first game by the unusual score line 7-2. Even with the five goals advantage Juventus still had to score two goals with less than 10 minutes to go in the return leg a week later in Munich to secure a 9-7 agg. win and book a place in the final against Tottenham Hotspur F.C.
It was Juventus second Champions League final in five years.
The Champions League final was played in front of 100.000 people in Old Trafford in Manchester.
And for Juventus and Arturo Vidal it was unfortunately déjà vu all over again.
Since Vidal missed two penalties in the 2016/17 final loss to Manchester City he had scored on six of six penalties since.
In this year’s final he again stepped up to take the penalty with 10 minutes left on the clock with a chance to equalize after Gareth Bale gave Tottenham the lead after 54 minutes. But once again the nerves of Arturo Vidal boggled under the pressure. His penalty was weak and Hugo Lloris not just saved it but catches the ball and held on to it.
Four minutes later Gabin Gomis scored a second goal for Tottenham and the game was over. Tottenham Hotspur F.C. won their first ever Champions League title and Arturo Vidal once again had to travel back to Italy and Turin as the villain.
A team that had really fallen on hard times was Danish side Brøndby IF. The once so proud franchise who won the Danish title in 2005 and who had a decade with play in Europa and a fantastic rivalry with FC Copenhagen was now hitting rock-bottom.
When they were relegated from the best league in Denmark in 2019, most people expected that it was only a question of time before they were back up where they "belonged" in the top division among the top-12 teams in Denmark.
In the first season down in the 1. division they failed to win promotion and finished in 3rd place behind FC Fredericia and FC Vestsjælland.
But instead of regrouping and getting back in the fight the year after the team had totally collapsed and in the end of the 2020/2021 season the total meltdown was a fact when Brøndby FC was relegated to the 3rd level of Danish football.
