Of course, the UEFA Champions League also drew much interest in May, as Manchester City defeated Real Madrid to reach the final against Inter, which will be played this weekend. Will City finally get their hands on the domestic treble following their FA Cup win over Manchester United? That's something to look out for in June.

May was also a big month in the NBA as the basketball season reached its climax. Following some brilliant games throughout the playoffs, we now know that the 2023 Larry O'Brien championship winners will be the Heat or the Nuggets, which we will learn in June.
In tennis, the French Open at Roland Garros got underway at the backend of the month. Some big names are competing in the final stages of the men's and women's French Open at the start of June – so be sure to place your bets and make your predictions ahead of finals weekend in Paris.
