FOOTBALL: REAL AND BAYERN ARE CHAMPIONS!

31st and 21st league title in the bag for Real Madrid and Bayern Munich respectively. Madrid won it in the very last minute after seeing Villarreal beating Getafe 2-0 much earlier. Cannavaro was sent off early in the second half and their midfielder Punal scored from the penalty spot with 8 minutes to go. Robben equalised with 3 minutes to go and later Higuain scored with a minute left to win the match dramatically. In other clashes in the La Liga, Barcelona beat a weak Valencia 6-0 and Sevilla beat Valladolid 2-0.

Real Madrid will be playing Barcelona next and pride could be still at stake for a very competitive match. This El Clásico encounter will be the least competitive ever for a long time. Both of the clubs have pretty much nothing left to play for this season. For Barcelona perhaps they still want to chase Villarreal to finish 2nd so they don't have to play for the Champions League qualifying for next season. There are 3 matches left and Real Madrid are having 10 points lead over Villarreal at the top. Villarreal have 4 points lead over Barcelona. Atletico Madrid are chasing from behind Barcelona with 6 points difference.

In the Serie A, the Milan derby ended with a 2-1 for Milan against Inter. Fiorentina lost away to Cagliari, Roma beat Sampdoria 3-0 away and Juventus lost 0-1 to Siena away. The results mean Milan are now at 4th place with 1 point lead against Fiorentina. Inter are just 3 points leading the table over Roma. There are 2 more matches to play and the title can be decided until the last day.
