Title races, domestic cup finals and fights for Champions League football. Itâs all action all over Europe right now.
Here, after the last week of action, are our top form sides from around the continent.
An unfortunate Coppa Italia final defeat meant there was no crowning glory for Atalanta this week but they have still been superb down the home stretch, sealing a Champions League place with their best ever finish and highest ever points tally in a Serie A campaign.
And just like that, Liverpool are back in the top four. With four wins in a row, the Reds have landed in a Champions League spot just in time for the last game of the season.
Unbeaten in nine in the league, theyâre right back to looking like their old selves.
They arenât the favourites for the Ligue 1 title this weekend but PSG have done all they can to be in the hunt, winning five of their last six Ligue 1 matches.
On Wednesday they beat Monaco in the Coupe de France final too, but theyâll need a favour from Angers if theyâre to win the league.
Top of Ligue 1 with one game to go, the nerves kicked in at the weekend and Lille could only draw with Saint-Ătienne.
Theyâve been better again since a slow March, winning five of their last seven. Just one more and theyâll be crowned champions of France.
Napoli are on quite the run, scoring goals for fun and winning six of their last eight Serie A matches as they look to pip Juventus to fourth place.
Another victory on Sunday will secure Champions League football for next season.
Man City have taken their foot off the gas a little bit. Which is fine, theyâve already clinched the league and have a Champions League final to prepare for, but it doesnât win you many points here.
Theyâve now lost three of their last six Premier League games, as many as theyâd lost in the previous 31.
There are still some very good performances and results, but there have been more dropped points than weâre used to from the Bundesliga giants.
What a rollercoaster of a week for Chelsea. After defeat to Arsenal, they lost the FA Cup final to Leicester, then beat the Foxes to keep hold of the âfavouritesâ tag in the race for top four.
All in all, it could have been a lot worse and the Blues still look in good shape to secure top four and head into the Champions League final full of confidence.
Their 20 game unbeaten run in Serie A had to end at some point. Unfortunately for Inter, it ended with some much-talked about refereeing and three points for Juventus.
Still, the scudetto belongs to them and theyâve been more than good value for it.
Dortmund are on the longest winning run in Europe and made it six in a row in the Bundesliga last weekend to clinch Champions League football for next season.
It has been a superb run AND it has included two DFB Pokal games, including a thrilling performance in last weekâs final. With champions around the continent winding down, theyâve picked things right up.
