Image source, Getty ImagesMo Salah has had an incredible season. Not only is he prolific in front of goal but he is creative as well.
He showed great professionalism when there was so much talk around his contract and he just got better and better as the season went on.
It's great that we get to see him in the Premier League for another couple of seasons.
FT: Tottenham 1-4 Brighton
Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler speaking to Match of the Day on what he told his team at half-time: "To stay calm in possession, to show more intensity out of possession. The key was to have better positioning, to be cleaner in our ing and touches and to show the right reaction. We showed a great reaction and well deserved win.
On Hinshelwood's goals: "Very happy for him because he's player from academy. He suffered a bit the last period of time but showed personality. He is great in training and he deserves the two goals. He never gives up. Really happy for him."
On missing out on Europe: "We did all we can do and we played a very good season. Overall we accept the other results we have to reflect on the season and then build on it next season.
On Gomez's goal: "Everyone was happy for him. Diego he came from a different culture and country. He's a great team player. Really happy with the team spirit this season."
FT: Liverpool 1-1 Crystal Palace
Image source, Getty ImagesLiverpool forward Cody Gakpo speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "Difficult to put it into words, especially the last half an hour. It's been an amazing season in the league. Beautiful moments, beautiful comebacks, beautiful games. Tough moments as well but I think we showed good character this year as well. We have something to build on in the coming years, so we are proud of that.
"It's very special. It did exceed those expectations of mine. It's been an amazing moment for all of us with the fans. The last time I wasn't here but there were no fans but I think for all the guys it's a beautiful special moment and we are very proud and grateful we're here now with the fans at this club with the trophy.
"It is very special. It's an amazing club. It's an amazing soul of the club with the fans, with the people who work here with the players. With the legends who came to watch, with the legends who are on the field as well mixed with the youngsters, it's been amazing. It's special. Everybody's very grateful that we are sharing this moment together with a lot of people."
On a standout game in the season: "We had a lot of great games. maybe, the 2-0 win against City at home which really, we already had a very good feeling, but maybe this gave us more confidence that we could do something special this season. I think that was a special moment. We had many special moments. We had many special comebacks, comebacks against Brighton at home, with 10 men we drew with Fulham at home which was a great game. 2-0 win Brentford away, I can name all the games. We had a lot of beautiful moments."
FT: Fulham 0-2 Man City
Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan on securing Champions League qualification: "Coming here, to a tough ground, against a really good opponent, to play the way we have played, to create that manage chances and then to win and secure the Champions League was very important. We are very happy with that."
On scoring his first league goal of the season: "It took me some time this season to score but yeah, it was just intuition. Arriving in the box at the second post (back post), I try to be where you think the ball might drop. When I saw the ball going over my head, I had to adapt my run and adjust, and then just try to go for it.
"When I landed and turned around, I didn't even know if the ball was in or not but then I saw my team-mates coming towards me."
On what it's like to play with Kevin de Bruyne: "Exceptional. I feel very lucky and grateful that I had the opportunity to share the pitch and the dressing room with him. He's one of the most special players that I have played with, that the Premier League has ever seen. He will be missed and we wish him the best."

Stephen Warnock
Former Liverpool defender on BBC 5 Live at Anfield
It'll mean a lot to them players with Alan Hansen and the legacy he has at the football club to be able to receive the medals off him.
I'm a little bit lost for words. This is brilliant to see the players enjoying it so much.
Since FSG have come in, the thought behind what goes on is meticulous and I think that is credit to the way the club is being run since they came in. This will be so well planned over the last two/three months and I think the parade will be extra special again tomorrow.
This is brilliant.

Michael Brown
Former Tottenham midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live
The ending was all about Kevin de Bruyne. He has been an absolute great in the Premier League.
FT: Newcastle 0-1 Everton
Image source, Getty ImagesMore from Newcastle manager Eddie Howe: “I think the experience we had there the first time will help us no end, I think. We felt we grew through the competition, so I think we are stronger. I think we are better prepared both physically and mentally for the competition ahead. We suffered a bad injury crisis [last] season as well, so lessons need to be learned from that and hopefully, if they can be, we can be successful.”
On the transfer window: “Difficult to say on numbers, but I do think it’s a window that we have to be active in and I’m sure we will be. We haven’t recruited strongly in three windows and I think eventually, that can catch up with you in the end if you continue not to change because change is an important part of the squad dynamic. I think we feel that and I think we potentially felt that last summer as well, so I think that’s why the players have done so well to carry the success through. Yes, it is going to be a big transfer window.”
On previous Champions League experience: “I think the experience we had there the first time will help us no end, I think. We felt we grew through the competition, so I think we are stronger. I think we are better prepared both physically and mentally for the competition ahead. We suffered a bad injury crisis [last] season as well, so lessons need to be learned from that and hopefully, if they can be, we can be successful.”

Ashley Williams
Former Wales defender on Final Score
Amazing season from Liverpool.
Great job by Arne Slot. All of their big players had great seasons, stood up to it and they were consistent.
Having the likes of Salah, Van Dijk, the midfield trio and goalkeeper makes things so much easier.
Worthy winners.

The Champions League is going to be fantastic.

Aston Villa avoided relegation a few years ago due to a questionable goal line error. These things even themselves out.

FT: Wolves 1-1 Brentford
Brentford manager Thomas Frank, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: “We were closer to edging it. It was a bit of a game of two halves. In the first half we were better.
“In the second half I thought Wolves had a few dangerous moments. It was a little bit of a disappointing goal to concede, but that happens. We probably should have made it 2-0 in the first half, but we didn’t.”
On Bryan Mbeumo: “I think it’s fantastic for all three [Yoane Wissa and Kevin Schade too]. It’s a big compliment to the three of them, but also to the team. For Bryan to finish on 20 goals is incredible.”
On Brentford’s season: “To produce two top-half finish in four seasons is incredible. There’s a lot of clubs that I ire that haven’t done that in many years. We’ve done a lot of things well.”
On the future of Mbeumo and Wissa: “I’ve said many times before, we’re a selling club. If the right bid comes in, we’re open, but of course I’d like to keep [my players].”

Nice to see Trent get a good send off today. Shame he’s leaving but Liverpool will adapt and continue.

Liverpool chief executive Billy Hogan speaking to Sky Sports about appointing Arne Slot: "We had the benefit of time. Jurgen [Klopp] made his decision and announcement in January and that allowed for a reset. Michael Edwards coming in at FSG and then hiring Richard Hughes they had the time to go through a proper process to find the right person.
"You never know until that person comes in but Arne has been fantastic. He taken what was a very strong strong and what was existing and they were just relentless this year.
On the summer plans: "When we have something to say, we will say it. That is the way we operate at this club. Hopefully we have things to say but we won't be giving anything away."
FT: Nott'm Forest 0-1 Chelsea
Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo, speaking BBC Radio 5 Live: "It you look overall at the season we are proud of the work that we have been doing.
"Disappointed today, but the way we played, we played a good game but it was not enough.
"If we achieved the win and everything could be different.
"Look, first of all we have to thank the players. They really did well since day one. In a couple of hours when we look back we will be proud.
"Things change, away from home we have been competing better, but out fans deserve more.
"It is about realising, overall, honestly we should be proud of the growing process that we have achieved.
"It is a good step moving forward. It is going to be a test and a challenge."
FT: Man Utd 2-0 Aston Villa
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery speaking to BBC Match of the Day on Morgan Rogers' disallowed goal: "Good evening. We started very poorly today and we weren't playing like we wanted to play. We were getting better and starting to get into good positions and getting into their box, and then we had the red card [for Emiliano Martinez]. And after the red, the game was completely different.
"We needed resilience. We were doing that. We needed to defend and believe that some attacking chance will come to score the goal. We had it.
"It was a mistake, we know. And the referee as well, he knows. Of course, we have to accept mistakes of the referees. He knows. And of course, we are making mistakes as coaches and players. And the referees can make these mistakes too.
"Today we lost the opportunity to be in the Champions League, but to be in the Europe was the priority and objective. To be in the Europa League is something we have to appreciate."
On the Martinez red card: "It's so difficult to accept that we were missing one plyer. Because in a match like that against Manchester United at Old Trafford, 11 versus 11 was difficult, but with one player less, it was more difficult. But we were competing and trying to believe we will have some chances to get into the box. But when we did it, we had the goal disallowed. I am accepting it was a mistake but it was the key moment. May be with that goal, the match could've been different.
On the Villa season: "We have to accept the whole season. Today is the consequence of the whole season. We were not being consistent in the first half of the season. I am proud of the players and the season we have had. And we need to keep going next season."

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim addressing fans at Old Trafford after the game: "First of all, I want to apologise for this season. I know you are really disappointed with me and the team.
"Secondly, I want to say thank you. We are very grateful for your this season and I know it was really hard to us in many games.
"But now we have to make a choice. Do we stick in the past? Because this season is in the past. It's over. We could fight each other or we stick together and move forward.
"Six months ago, after my first three games in charge, we had two victories and one draw and I told you a storm is coming. But today, after his disastrous season, I want to tell you the good days are coming.
"If there is one club in the world that have proved in the past that they can overcome any situation and any disaster, it's our club. It's Manchester United Football Club.
"Now I want to say sorry also to my players. Sometimes I was not fair but I've tried always to be honest with you guys.
"Thank you very much and see you next season."
