    Football Frenzy!

    This week...well a lot has happened in the world of football...

    Here's a roundup...

    EPL

    Manchester United have clinched their first Premiership title since 2003 following Chelsea's 1-1 draw against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.



    Ferguson added: "The Premier League is such a competitive league and the focus and the pressure on the big clubs makes it a focus for us.

    "I used to have an obsession of winning in Europe but the Premiership has become a priority."


    FA Cup



    Didier Drogba's 33rd goal of the season, four minutes from the end of extra-time, was enough to secure the FA Cup for Chelsea in the first final at the new Wembley yesterday. Just as it seemed a third successive final would be resolved by penalties, the Ivory Coast striker picked up a pass from Mikel John Obi, found Frank Lampard on the edge of the area and and burst into the box to meet the return pass with the most delicate of finishes over the sprawling Edwin van der Sar.

    Bundesliga

    Stuttgart lifted the Bundesliga title for the fifth time in its history on Saturday at Gottlieb Daimler Stadion after recording a 2-1 win against Energie on the final day of the season.

    It is the first league crown in 15 years for Stuttgart, but it did not come easily.



    UEFA Champions


    Sevilla won a penalty shoot-out to lift the UEFA Cup for the second successive season on a heartbreaking night for Espanyol.

    The outcome was hard on the Catalans, who had defied the odds to equalise for a second time with five minutes of extra-time to play.


    But the Andalucians were left stunned when Jonatas let fly from 25 yards and found the bottom corner to send the match to penalties.

    Italian Liga

    AS Roma players celebrate winning the Italian Cup at the end of their second leg final soccer match against Inter Milan at the San Siro stadium in Milan May 17, 2007.
