   Bayern Munich are German champions for a 35th time. A 4-2 win over Stuttgart secures the title after second-placed Dortmund lose 2-1 to Hoffenheim. Is this the first of an incredible treble for Vincent Kompany’s men this season?

   In Spain, it’s a first Real Sociedad trophy in front of fans for 38 years as they beat Atletico Madrid on a penalty shootout to win the Copa Del Rey. Delight for the White and Blues, but how might this impact Atleti ahead of their Champions League semi-final against Arsenal? And what’s been the fallout at Real Madrid and Barca after they were dumped out?

   The Ligue 1 title race could be back on after PSG lose 2-1 to Lyon. Second-placed Lens beat Toulouse 3-2 to close the gap to just one point. And in Italy, Inter go 12 points clear with five games to go: a 3-0 win over Cagliari means the Serie A title looks like a formality for the league leaders.

   Erling Haaland scores the winner at the Etihad to bring Man City to within 3 points of Arsenal with a game in hand. Is Pep heading towards a 5th title in 6 seasons?

   Is the race for the top 5 over? Liverpool win the first ever Hill Dickinson Merseyside derby with a 100th minute goal from Virgil Van Dijk. And Chelsea make it 4 defeats in a row without scoring as they lose 1-0 to Man United.

   It’s another pivotal weekend at the bottom of the table with Spurs seconds away from their first win of 2026 before Brighton equalise. Which allows Leeds and Forest to move further clear of the drop zone. Matt Davies-Adams tells us about the magnificence of Morgan Gibbs-White.

   It’s not a thrill-fest for Arsenal, but a 0-0 draw with Sporting CP means they’re through 1-0 on aggregate. Get ready for Arteta v Simeone! The Gunners will play Atletico Madrid in two weeks.

   Next for them is Manchester City in the Premier League. Will Pep Guardiola’s side be licking their lips at this one? Will Roberto De Zerbi get his first Spurs win against his old club Brighton?

   There’s no game to impact PSG, as they’re given the weekend off in France to focus on beating Liverpool. No such let-off for Monaco, who are hammered 4-1 by PSG’s neighbours Paris FC.

   In Germany, Bayern set a single-season scoring record with an emphatic 5-0 win at St Pauli, and Union Berlin's Marie-Louise Eta becomes the first woman to manage a Bundesliga side.

   And in Italy, it’s goals galore between Como and Inter, with the league leaders winning 4-3 to stretch their lead over second placed Napoli to nine points. Plus, there’s a public clash between Claudio Ranieri and Gian Piero Gasperini.

   It’s a miserable weekend in North London with Spurs losing at Sunderland in Roberto De Zerbi’s first game in charge. Winless in 14, in the relegation zone, with Cristian Romero coming off injured in tears.

   West Ham move out of the bottom three with their 4-0 thumping of Wolves while Forest come from behind to claim a point against Villa.

    It’s back-to-back defeats for Arsenal, overcome by a sensational Southampton from the Championship on Saturday. With their trophy hopes halved in the last two matches, is this the start of a dramatic collapse for the Gunners?

    Can the same question be asked of Liverpool, who are thrashed 4-0 by Man City, with Erling Haaland taking home the match ball? The pressure piling on Arne Slot ahead of the Reds’ trip to PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday.

    West Ham stage an incredible comeback against Leeds but it’s Daniel Farke’s side who progress on penalties to a first FA Cup semi since 1987. Where they will meet Chelsea, who pummel Port Vale 7-0 at Stamford Bridge.

    The Magpies were the great entertainers with the exuberant Kevin Keegan at the helm and much of the country pulling for them to take the title. Their title challengers Man Utd had famously been told by Alan Hansen they couldn't win anything with kids.

    With Fergie's fledglings finding form, a wobbling Newcastle went to Anfield and vowed to play the only way they knew how, to attack; the likes of Beardsley, Ginola, Asprilla and Ferdinand up against Fowler, Collymore, Barnes and McManaman.

    What ensued is still for many the greatest ever Premier League game. What made it so special? And how different might have football been if Newcastle had won it in 1996?

    From the sacking of Pearson and battling relegation to Richard III, Ranieri, pizzas and Bocelli - the Leicester title story had it all.

    Underpinning Leicester's success was excellent investment with Vardy, Mahrez and Kante costing less than 8 million pounds and the squad barely getting injuries, meaning Ranieri could play the same eleven in most games.

    Even still, the odds were stacked against them with the bookies making them 5000-1 before the season started. So just how did they do it? And could anyone ever do it again?

    The only positive for Spurs is that West Ham also lost and stay below them in the relegation zone. Villa the big winners in the Champions League race this weekend.
