• Dortmund lost title race to Bayern Munich
• Bellingham expected to move to Real Madrid

WHAT HAPPENED? Borussia Dortmund squandered a two-point lead and conceded the league title to Bayern Munich after they only managed a 2-2 draw against Mainz on the final matchday. Despite all the disappointment of losing out on the title on the final day, Bellingham did manage to bag a consolation prize by winning the Bundesliga Player of the Year Award.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The English international enjoyed a stellar campaign with the German side as he scored 14 goals and provided seven assists in 42 matches. Having been linked with a move to Real Madrid in the summer, the 19-year-old apparently bid farewell to his teammates a day after losing the Bundesliga title race.
