League action returns in womenâs football after an exciting international break. As the season slowly comes to an end, many titles are still up for grabs.
Here are how things look in Spain, Italy, Germany and France.
Over in Spain, Barcelona remain on track to win their sixth league title with a 14-point lead and three games in hand.
Their dominance in the league is unlike anything else; earlier this month, they beat second-place Levante 7-1, then hammered Deportivo 9-0 on Saturday and now have a +115 goal differential.
Winning the Primera Iberdrola title for the sixth time will break the league record currently held by Barcelona and Athletic Club (5 titles each).
In terms of Champions League spots, there are two more up for grabs with five clubs battling it out.
Levante continued to drop points this week with a last-minute draw against Sporting Huelva and so did third-place Real Madrid in a 1-1 draw with Real Betis.
As such, Real Sociedad, Granadilla Tenerife and Madrid CFF all have the chance to close in on a Champions League spot.
Seventh-place Atlético Madrid, who lost to Sevilla this week, look well off the mark.
Over in Italy, Juventus continue to hold on to the top spot in the league over Milan with an 18-0-0 record.
After Milanâs comfortable 4-0 win over Napoli, Juventus beat third-place Sassuolo 3-0 to keep the gap at six points.
But with four matches left there is plenty of time for either side to slip up so the title race is still on.
Over in Germany, it seems as though Bayern Munich have finally reached their breaking point.
After their unbeaten streak fell at the hands of Wolfsburg in the DFB Pokal semi-finals earlier this month, Bayern have now lost their first Bundesliga match of the season.
Third-place Hoffenheim managed a comeback win in Munich to steal all three points from the league leaders.
Wolfsburg, on the other hand, made the most of Bayernâs stumble and close the gap in the table to two points after a 3-2 win over Freiburg on Sunday.
Looking ahead in the calendar, Wolfsburg host Bayern on 9 May and the match will be crucial in the fight for the title.
The big news in womenâs football this past weekend was Paris Saint-Germainâs triumph over rivals Olympique Lyonnais in the UEFA Womenâs Champions League.
The club from Paris managed to knock out the five-time defending champions and they continue to stay on top of Lyon in league competition.
PSG currently hold a four-point lead at the top of the table but both clubs have multiple games left to play before the title is decided.
Much like in the Frauen Bundesliga, these top-two clubs have one more match to play against each other on 28 May in what is sure to be a title-deciding fixture.
