  1. ''We need top, top, top players'published at 19:10 BST 24 May

    FT: Tottenham 1-0 Everton

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham manager Roberto de Zerbi, speaking to Sky Sports: "We worked well but I'm lucky because we have a lot of big players. You can see the game today and see that under big pressure they played fantastic with the ball. Maybe it was the best performance in my time here.

    "It was an incredible game. The football was nice because if you give your best then the results will come.

    "I suffered a lot through the game but my life is so nice because of the pressure in football. Without that pressure it would not be nice."

    On what they could achieve next season: "Next season we have to build a top, top, top team. We don't have to change too many players in our squad but we have to bring in some first level players."

    On the fans: "When we came on the bus today before the game it was incredible. It was more than emotion. We had a meeting yesterday and I asked the players to play with the fans because they can't change the club. Players and managers can change the club but fans can't."

  2. 'Things will be different next season'published at 19:09 BST 24 May

    FT: Burnley 1-1 Wolves

    Wolves

    Wolves manager Rob Edwards speaking to BBC Match of the Day: “We started the game really well. We could’ve been three or four up. We started the second half poorly and they got back into it. Either side could have won it. You could say a draw was a fair result, but it’s frustrating with the start we had.

    "Neither team wanted a draw - you could see both were going for it. Both goalkeepers had to make some good saves. We haven’t been able to score the goals we need, which has been a problem for us this season.

    “But we’ll have a new-look group and things will be different next season.”

    On Mateus Mane: “Always industrious and full of endeavour and enthusiasm. There are things we can keep working on with him, but he’s a fantastic young player and it’s been a breakthrough season.”

    On 16-year-old Jerome Abey: “He’s a young player we really like. He’s trained with us a number of times this season and an opportunity came up for him - we thought it was the right time. He’s an exciting young player, but I want to play it down a bit so we don’t put too much pressure on him. He’s really, really young, so let’s make sure he can enjoy the game."

    On his time at the club: “It’s been a challenge. In the second half of the season we’ve been competitive. It’s a decent return, but it’s not what we wanted. It’s been tough, but we’ve learned a lot. Now I’m really excited about what we can do going forward - that’s something we’ve been talking about with the supporters as well.

    "I want to thank them for what has been a really difficult season. We’ll have a fresh start now."

    On squad planning for the Championship: “We’re working hard on that. We don’t have definitive answers on every bit of business we want to do. We want to make sure the group we want to keep is here, and that the new players we need to bring in to build this team come in as soon as possible.”

  3. '17th place is unacceptable'published at 19:08 BST 24 May

    FT: Tottenham 1-0 Everton

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham captain Micky van de Ven, speaking to Sky Sports: "It was emotional when the final whistle went. It has been a tough season, we've suffered so much. It was so tough mentally and physically.

    "We played really well in the first half and dominated without taking our chances. We had to defend in the second half.

    On Joao Palhinha's goal: "We knew a draw would make us safe but we wanted to win to avoid going to the 90th minute with uncertainty."

    On how he feels about next season: "I'm really confident. With the right people now here - the right manager - I'm confident. Finishing 17th two years in a row is unacceptable for us."

    On the fans: "The fans were unbelievable over the last few games to help us. When we arrived from the bus to the end of the game they were the 12th man."

  4. 'You want to try and keep your best players'published at 19:07 BST 24 May

    FT: Burnley 1-1 Wolves

    Burnley

    Burnley interim head coach Mike Jackson speaking to Sky Sports: "We didn’t start the game well at all. We haven’t been used to having a lot of the ball, so when you do have it, you can be a little bit sloppy. But we had a few words at half-time. We fixed a couple of things and created a lot of chances, and solved a lot of the problems we were causing ourselves."

    On whether the club can keep striker Zian Flemming in the Championship: "For him to get another goal in the Premier League is outstanding for him personally. You want to keep all your best players, but the reality of what’s happened this season means it can be difficult. The club will do its best - it’s a balancing act looking at the finances, but you want to try and keep your best players."

    On appointing a new manager after Scott Parker's departure: "Since Scott left, it’s been a bit quiet on that front. The club have to do its due diligence on where to go. We’ve been in this situation before and it’s not good to be in it again. We have to learn from it and know what we need in the Championship next season. Setbacks define you, but it’s what we do next that matters."

    On whether there will be clarity in the next couple of weeks: "Hopefully, yeah. I don’t know the talks that have gone on, but the sooner they can get the appointment they’re after, then you can start to plan a little bit more."

  5. 'Hopefully it will be a full factory reset for West Ham'published at 19:05 BST 24 May

    There were flashpoints in the season where you thought West Ham might have enough, they turned a corner, but then they go back to doing what they did before. It is disappointing but ultimately I'm hoping it will be a full factory reset, get rid of a few players in the summer and get set for next season and hopefully steamroll the Championship.

  6. 'Hurt is the only thing'published at 19:05 BST 24 May

    FT: West Ham 3-0 Leeds

    West Ham United

    West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen, speaking to Sky Sports: "It's a horrible place to be. Football gives you so many good moments but relegation, it hurts.

    "We did enough today in terms of our result but we haven't done it consistently enough across the season to pick up the points and we found ourselves in this position."

    On where things have gone wrong: "You can pinpoint many different things but, ultimately, when you go out on the pitch, its about players turning up when things aren't going well and picking up better results.

    "Last season we were in a similar situation and were able to wriggle out of it, this season we haven't. It's not something that has just happened and is fresh. The last couple of seasons we have been below the standard.

    "Ultimately, this season we haven't been good enough and we've paid the biggest price."

    On decline: "In that European season we finished 14th but no one remembers that because we won a European trophy.

    "But the couple of seasons after, last season it was Manchester United and Tottenham below us and we got out of it.

    "We thought it was a blip, come into this season fresh. We had a full season with Graham Potter and we were ready to go. We didn't have the start we wanted and the manager was gone after six games.

    "Then there was a new face, new ideas. Everyone was ready to go but we didn't do enough week in, week out to grind out results.

    "We've been leading games and dropped points from those positions. The fight has been there but we haven't done enough."

    On his future: "I'm under contract here. There's going to be rumours, talk and nonsense out there but, ultimately, what I see is getting this club back in the Premier League. That's where it deserves to be.

    "This is a really low moment. We have to bounce back from this, there is no other way.

    "This is a really difficult moment, you never know what the future holds."

  7. 'I think I cried more than in my whole life'published at 19:03 BST 24 May

    FT: Liverpool 1-1 Brentford

    Liverpool

    Liverpool winger Mo Salah, speaking to Sky Sports: "I think I cried more than in my whole life. I'm not really an emotional guy. We lived our youth here, sharing everything from the beginning to the end. We put this club back where it belongs. He [Andy Robertson] is loved because he gives his all in the field. They love him for that.

    "It's tricky to leave Liverpool. He's very important for the team and for that period of time we had. I'm really honoured to share a dressing room with him. He was there for the team. I am very blessed to share a dressing room with him.

    "It's life. I look back and wonder if I would have wanted more than I achieved. Not really. We won it all. We see the love from the fans and this is the most important thing for me.

    "I will be far away from here. I will be emotional every time. I hope the team stays in the position, fighting for everything."

    Manchester City

    If this wasn't already an emotional day for Manchester City fans, a montage of the best moments from Pep Guardiola's 10-years as manager is playing on the big screens, set an acoustic a rendition of the iconic Oasis song Live Forever.

    Plenty of fans are in tears. Here comes Pep.

    FT: Tottenham 1-0 Everton

    Spurs earned their first Premier League home win since December (2-0 v Brentford), and just their third overall in 2025-26. This is the joint-fewest home wins by a team to survive relegation in a Premier League campaign, along with Hull in 2008-09.

  10. Hurzeler 'grateful' for other resultspublished at 19:00 BST 24 May

    FT: Brighton 0-3 Man Utd

    Brighton & Hove Albion

    Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler, speaking to Sky Sports after his side qualified for the Conference League: "It was a strange feeling. We didn't play well and it was the worst time for this performance. I was quite disappointed. I was expecting more from us as a team.

    "You have to make the best out of it and in the end the best was the results from the other games. We have to be grateful for that.

    "It is the second time we have qualified for European football and that is always something special. We wanted to make the next step and that was one of our goals for this season, luckily we reached it. When you are in the situation we had before the game you want more but we have to accept it."

    Arne Slot is sat completely alone in the Liverpool dugout watching Mo Salah receive the acclaim of The Kop. That's quite some picture!

    It's been a torturous season at times for the Reds and Slot knows it has to get better next season.

  12. 'I have been close to tears'published at 18:59 BST 24 May

    FT: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth

    Andoni Iraola, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I am feeling so happy right now, so so happy. Now that everything is done is when you start to think and I become a little bit more emotional. I enjoyed the last moments, the celebrations with the supporters.

    "I am quite hard but I have been really close [to tears]. I cannot ask for much more. I have been so lucky to be in this moment with this group at players with this club. I think it is the perfect ending and I am so thankful."

    On today's game: "One of our goals was not to lose today because we wanted to finish without a loss in our second game against all the teams. We knew the result of the Brighton game so it didn't really matter, but I didn't want to lose that record. This also gives us the points total record, we finished sixth, and everything is almost perfect. When I saw the line-up of City, I said oof probably it is going to be difficult. At least we got our result and finished sixth. We are all celebrated."

    On what will be hardest to say goodbye to: "The people. I see these guys every day. My every day has been so good. I have enjoyed this so much and it is not easy. When you go to work with a smile, even in moments where results are maybe not as good, it is more a challenge. The atmosphere in the club is so positive. The club is growing. Now we are getting incredible results, it is good always to work in this kind of environment."

    On what is next: "I don't know where I am going. I think it is a moment where we will have to take our time and make decisions. Obviously it's not going to be long because teams have to sign managers. Now is the moment where we will take decisions"

  13. 'If they stay and win promotion they turn into legends'published at 18:57 BST 24 May

    Conversations will have been happening long before today. If those players had anything about them they would look at the size of West Ham, massive club and fantastic fanbase. If they stay at the club and help them get promoted back to the Premier Leaugue, and then they manage to keep them up the following season, they turn into legends.

    Money will come later on. The status that comes with sticking at a massive club and getting them back in the Premier League where they think they belong, that changes everything.

  14. 'I will miss everyone here'published at 18:56 BST 24 May

    FT: Crystal Palace 1-2 Arsenal

    Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to Sky Sports: "It is not the best feeling because we have had so many great games. Today showed our whole story; we didn't play great for a long time but we didn't give up.

    "Fantastic stadium, atmosphere, players and of course fantastic supporters. I will definitely miss all of the people here."

    When asked to sum up his time at the club: "I think it was okay. For me the best is still to come. The biggest achievment for me is not the trophy, but giving the people belief in you is amazing. [Winning the Conference League] would be really good!

    "I am a bit concerened with Adam [Wharton], he twisted his ankle. Hopefully it is not too bad. He says it should be okay."

  15. 'I know this is our family'published at 18:55 BST 24 May

    FT: Liverpool 1-1 Brentford

    Liverpool

    Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson, speaking to Sky Sports: "These guys come and support us every single week. I've been here nine years and we've played in front of a sellout crowd at Anfield and full away ends every game.

    On qualifying for Champions League: "It was a must. It's been a hugely disappointing season from how we wanted it all to pan out. It was clear before Christmas that it wasn't going to pan out how we wanted it to. We limped over in the end. I really hope they can kick on.

    "When we first came in, it was a dream to win the Champions League or the Premier League; it's now an expectation. Credit to all the lads. Looking at the reception Jordan Henderson got probably got me the most emotional. He didn't get he when he left in the summer.

    On how he's feeling: "Emotionally drained. It's been a busy week trying to keep your emotions in check and saying bye to those you need to say bye to.

    "Pep Guardiola pushed us to new limits. We should have won more Premier Leagues if it wasn't for that man. Seamus Coleman is leaving Evertton and he's been a fantastic servant for that football club.

    "In years to come, then we know we're both welcome back to this football club. This is a big chapter in our book but it's not the end. First and foremost, we have to switch off and focus on the World Cup. I know this is our family and we'll be welcome back."

    Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva addressing the crowd at the Etihad Stadium: "It's really tough to put into words my feeling toward man city, towards you guys, because I don't think I will ever feel the same about another team in my life. The love I got from this club, from you guys, I doubt I will get it again. So thank you so much. All the memories we have together, with my brothers, with you, the staff, this is a family. It will forever be my family and I am really grateful."

  17. 'Huge blow for an established club like West Ham'published at 18:51 BST 24 May

    FT: West Ham 3-0 Leeds

    Leeds United

    Leeds manager Daniel Farke, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "For us, it was one game too many without several key players.

    "First half, I think we were the better sides and had chances to go in front but were not decisive enough. Second half, a bit of a strange atmosphere with it being the final game of the season.

    "We were a bit sloppy in possession. Doesn't take anything away from the fact that, overall, my lads have done a fantastic job."

    On West Ham's relegation: "You feel for your colleague, especially for a club to go down after such a long run at the top level, it's a huge blow.

    "I've never had this feeling with an established Premier League side to go down, it must feel even worse. For such a big club, a big name and big history, you feel for them."

    On achievement of staying up: "If you look at what happens last season with clubs who spent even more money than us were relegated in February or March. This season we have 47 points, safe with three games to go.

    "Many good runs of results and competitive games. We've shown consistency and once the disappointment of the second half today has settled, we can look back on a very successful and fantastic season for Leeds United."

    On summer business: "Not a topic for today. It's a long season and I'm looking forward to go home for some family, recharge and not thinking about football.

    "Then with fresh energy we will talk about everything that lies ahead. Leeds United is in a good spot. We are a proper club right now, back in the top flight and it's a good situation to build on."

  18. 'It gives us a platform to build on'published at 18:50 BST 24 May

    FT: Brighton 0-3 Man Utd

    Manchester United

    Manchester United manager Michael Carrick, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "We've finished strong. We had a good run and third place was kind of confirmed so I like the way we finished from that and carried it on. We had a real focus that it wasn't the end of the season, it was the next stage and today epitomised that with how well the boys approached the game.

    "These are one of the toughest teams to play if you are not there. Good mentality, good attitude and some top, top quality in our performance so there was a lot to enjoy.

    "We were aiming high, you have to here. We wanted to finish as high as we could. Big credit to the players for how consistent they've been and level of performance. It gives us a platform to build on for next season.

    On Bruno Fernandes: "It's what he's done so often. The creating and scoring of goals is what he has that gift for. He has a natural instinct for creation and he did it again today."

  19. 'Nobody gave us a chance'published at 18:49 BST 24 May

    FT: Sunderland 2-1 Chelsea

    Sunderland

    Sunderland goalscorer Trai Hume speaking to BBC Match Of The Day: " A steward came and tried to show us the other scores on his phone but the 4G didn't work but then we found out we had done it. It hasn't sunk in yet. Coming up to the start of the season I don't think anyone gave us a chance to stay up let alone Europe.

    "We've worked our socks off and fully deserve that. A special mention to the fans who are the heartbeat of the club and they have been through some tough times. We work really hard through the week. The fans are amazing and they gave us the extra boost. This is their home and we go out and work our socks off for them.

    "Last year was emotional for me as it was a dream to play in the Premier League. I didn't think we could get here and make Europe but we have done it. We will give it everything next season."

    Manchester City defender John Stones tears up on the mic as the crowd at the Etihad Stadium sing his name. He then says: "I can't express my gratitude enough. To feel the love you have all given me over these 10 years, it's been a dream come true. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. It's been an honour to wear this shirt, to play for this club, it's been an absolute privilege.

    "This will always be my home. I look forward to watching the games with out all in the stands. From the bottom of my heart thank you so much for all the memories. I hope we made everyone's dreams come true."
