It was the final day of the 2015/16 football season in Europe's top leagues and some fond farewells also.
David Haye won another fight on his return to the ring while Blessing Okagbare seems to be picking up speed at just the right time.
Here are the seven sporting moments that marked our week.
Okagbare records season's best in Rabat
Less than 80 days to the 2016 Rio Olympics, Nigeria's medal hopeful, Blessing Okagbare seems to be peaking.
Okagbare ran a season-best time of 11.11s in the 100m at the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Rabat. It was the Nigerian's personal best for the Athletics season. Many Nigerians will pray she continues to improve so as to pick a medal in Brazil.
Sevilla win historic third consecutive Europa League title

And finally... on a sad note
Football was struck by another tragedy on Saturday in Argentine after Micael Favre died on the pitch after receiving two blows to the head. The 24-year-old was playing for San Jorge against Defensores in the Liga Departamental de Colon when he died.
On a dribble, he apparently stumbled and fell to the ground and was unintentionally caught in the face by an opponent's knee. When he got up, another player from the opposing team seemed to strike him on a run.
