Another weekend with several huge league clashes is coming as we bring you all you need to know ahead of it.
Man City have to fight for the FA Cup against Watford after winning the Premier League title to reach the domestic treble.
Bayern are only 2 points ahead of their rivals Dortmund, will there be drama on the final day in the Bundesliga?
Man City vs Watford
18:00 CET Saturday
Pep Guardiola’s side are aiming to become the first ever men’s club to complete the domestic treble in England, while Watford will be desperate to spoil the party with a first FA Cup in the club’s history.
Fresh from sealing the Premier League title last weekend, City are the obvious favourites, but Watford’s progress to the final has shown they should not be underestimated.
Probable Line-ups
Bundesliga Table
Bayern vs Frankfurt
15:30 CET, Saturday
Niko Kovac’s side could actually have clinched the title last weekend had they beaten RB Leipzig, although were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw.
Bayern need to take just a point from this game and will seal the title, as their lead over second-placed Borussia Dortmund is currently two points. Eintracht are 6th in the table on 54 points and are one of four teams fighting for the last Champions League slot.
M'gladbach vs Dortmund
15:30 CET, Saturday
Dortmund ensured that the title race would go into the final weekend when they recorded a 3-2 win over Fortuna Dusseldorf last weekend.
Dortmund must beat Gladbach and hope that Bayern lose against sixth-placed Frankfurt. Indeed, a draw would be good enough for the current leaders due to their superior goal difference, which will not be overcome unless something extraordinary happens.
Real Madrid vs Betis
12:00 CET, Sunday
The final day of the La Liga season sees two sides with nothing to play for meet at the Santiago Bernabeu as Real Madrid host Real Betis.
Madrid should be able to see them off and continue their winning run at home, although it is likely to be something of a low-key affair.
Probable Line-ups
Eibar vs Barcelona
16:15 CET, Sunday
Barca's last away game in La Liga saw them field a much-changed side in Vigo and lose 2-0 to Celta, just before their Champions League semi-final second leg defeat at Anfield.
The trauma of that European capitulation will live long in the memory of fans and players alike, although some of that disappointment could be lessened if the side complete a second consecutive league and cup double next weekend.
Probable Line-ups
Juventus vs Atalanta
20:30 CET, Sunday
Juventus have announced the departure of their boss Allegri before the match against Atalanta. It will be one before the last game for the Italian manager.
Atalanta will be hoping to bounce back from their Coppa Italia final defeat when they travel to Turin to take on Juventus in Sunday’s Serie A clash.
It looks likely to be another slow burner against the Bianconeri, who have scored just three first-half goals in their previous nine Serie A fixtures.
