Real Madrid are out having won just one of their last five games. But who comes in?
Itâs our latest Power Rankings of Europeâs top 10 teams.
With five wins in a row, theyâve now opened a four point gap to Lyon and sit third, a point behind PSG and two points behind an inconsistent Lille side. Well in the title race.
The underdogs in the LaLiga title race just keep winning, write them off at your peril.
Itâs four wins in a row now in the league, leaving Sevilla in fourth, just three points from top spot. Their run-in isnât the easiest but they are arguably the leagueâs most in-form side.
Now seven points clear of West Ham and eight clear of Liverpool, Leicester are in the driving seat for a place in next seasonâs Champions League.
The challenge now will to be to avoid the mistakes of last season and seal top four.
Manchester United dropped points again last weekend, drawing with Leeds, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wonât have minded too much.
They sit comfortably in second in the Premier League and have a big Europa League semi-final first leg on Thursday as Solskjaer chases his first trophy as United manager.
Things are going pretty well for Thomas Tuchel in west London. Already in the FA Cup final, they earned a good result in Madrid to leave the possibility of a Champions League final wide open.
And they beat West Ham, giving them a three point cushion in the race for a top four spot in the Premier League.
It was all going so well, Man City were on the ropes. But PSG ran out of gas, Pep Guardiolaâs side turned the screw, and the Champions League now looks like a long shot for the season.
Thereâs no escaping that PSG have improved recently, though, and three Ligue 1 wins in a row has left them a point off top spot with four left to play.
Barcelona werenât at their most convincing at the weekend but still came from behind to beat Villarreal.
With no continental football to distract them, theyâre looking primed for the final straight in the LaLiga title race.
Not present in this weekâs Champions League semi-finals or this weekendâs DFB Pokal semi-finals, Bayern only have the league to play for now.
And they missed their first chance to seal that, too, losing to Mainz on Saturday when a win would have clinched a ninth Bundesliga title in a row.
Interâs minor blip is over and they are right back on track for the Scudetto.
Now unbeaten in 17 league matches, their 11 point gap at the top of the table looks insurmountable with just five games left to play.
What a week for Manchester City, what a response to the end of their quadruple dream.
The first trophy of the season went their way as they won a fourth consecutive League Cup at the weekend and they backed it up with their comeback win in Paris, firmly planting one foot in the Champions League final.
