Premier League farewells from Mohamed Salah and Pep Guardiola stole the show on an emotional final day of the 2025/26 season. Arsenal lifted the trophy at Selhurst Park, and Tottenham Hotspur stayed up at the expense of West Ham United.
Guardiola’s announcement of his departure after a decade as Manchester City manager dominated the headlines heading into the weekend. There was barely a dry eye inside the Etihad Stadium as Bernardo Silva and John Stones also bade farewell to the club.
