19 things we loved this weekend: Messi, Ronaldo, Alisson, Eriksen, Diaz
The fight for the Premier League title continued over the weekend as Manchester City cruised past Watford and Liverpool beat local rivals Everton at Anfield.
Elsewhere, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain both won their domestic league titles while Real Betis beat Valencia in the Copa del Rey final.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the field.
Lionel Messi
Vintage stuff to help clinch his first trophy with PSG.
LIONEL. MESSI. 💥
If anyone was going to break the deadlock it would be him! Simply MAGNIFICENT! 💫
Is that the goal that wins the title? 🏆 pic.twitter.com/pLnw7ayffp

Cristiano Ronaldo
Another week, another ridiculous record broken.
Cristiano Ronaldo has now scored 100+ goals in:

Alisson
World-class goalkeeper and comedy genius, apparently.
Sensacional! @Alissonbecker 😂😂😂pic.twitter.com/kxXNXc6Cde

Luis Diaz
What a lovely addition to the Premier League he’s been.

Divock Origi
The man absolutely loves Merseyside derbies.
In Liverpool's entire history, only Steven Gerrard (7) has scored more home league goals against Everton than Divock Origi (6).#LFC #LIVEVE

Martin Odegaard
If Eddie Nketiah had scored this would’ve been one of the assists of the season.

Charlie Adam
Always good to check in on how Charlie Adam is doing these days.

Davide Nicola
Pray for the players that have to face him in the dressing room.
Salernitana manager Davide Nicola took off his shoe and threw it in anger at his team's defending 😂
Amazing. pic.twitter.com/LIa72UmLhL

Joaquin
The bloke played at the 2002 World Cup. What a hero.
Last time Real Betis won Copa del Rey, 5 year-old Juan Miranda travelled to Madrid to see the final, a final in which 23 year old Joaquín won with Betis
Today 22 year old Miranda scored the winning penalty so that 40 year old Betis captain Joaquín could lift the trophy pic.twitter.com/DIsw8yCoaC

Diego Forlan
Joaquin, eat your heart out.
Diego Forlán still got it.👌

You still know he would’ve loved to spoil the party.

Nemanja Matic
We wouldn’t be surprised if Matic ends up at Mourinho’s Roma next season.

Christian Eriksen
It would lovely to see him back at Spurs next season, wouldn’t it?
That's put a smile on my face, Christian Eriksen goes over the the away end a signs a shirt for a Spurs fan. He is a class act. pic.twitter.com/PQjPvqeTVO

Jamal Musiala
Ten straight titles, Bayern? Ten? That’s insane.
It's three for @FCBayernEN in #DerKlassiker! ❤️
