While the season’s major titles are being decided in both Spain and Europe, Real Madrid have nothing left to play for until next August. As a result, a series of reflections are taking place in the club’s offices.

Those reflections range from the sporting director position to the make-up of the squad, as well as the role of the head coach.

Tottenham came close to a win that would have kept their survival hopes alive, but a stoppage-time goal from Georginio Rutter once again left Spurs silenced.

Right now, De Zerbi’s side are third from bottom with 31 points, and West Ham and Nottingham Forest still have to play, meaning they could open up the gap even further.

Arsenal, who had the Premier League well on track, are putting the title on the line against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, who have smelled blood and, with no Champions League commitments, are chasing what would be a historic comeback.

The 'Citizens' have their fate in their own hands to win the title, but with one potentially deadly catch: they have to beat Arsenal this Sunday at 17:30.

In Italy, there is still plenty of drama in the relegation places, but also in the race for the Champions League spots, where Como lost on Friday and both Roma and Atalanta drew this Saturday (1-1).
