Title and Champions League Races in Europe
England: One game to go for the title contenders. Two for the contenders for the last champions league spot, including a head to head confrontation.
Germany: Bayern Munich has the title sown up, unless Schalke can find a way to overcome a massive goal differential.
France: Olympique Lyonnais has a game in hand as the UCL semi-finalist seeks passage to next year's tourney.
Italy: Was interesting hearing Lazio fans cheer for Inter against their team. Their disdain for rival Roma being so great as they prefer to lose if it means denying AS Roma the title.
Spain: 3 games to go and the two horse race at the top is still in play.
The UEFA Champions League final will determine if Italy retains the 4th spot in the 2011-12 UCL or if it shifts to Germany.
Does it seem like the same teams are at the top of these leagues? Read the Tim Vickery story above on the Brasileirao.
