Ligue 1 (France)

The clash of Sunday evening AS Monaco (3rd) – OL (4th) is the turning point of this 35th day. In a high-tension match, Lyon got back in the race for the podium by winning 3 goals to 2 in Monaco. Outnumbered during the last 20 minutes of the match, Lyon found the resources thanks to a goal from Cherki in the final moments to go for a precious success. For its part, Monaco can surely say goodbye to the title. 5 points behind LOSC with 3 days to go. Lille (1st) and PSG (2nd) are still neck and neck, after their victories this Saturday against Nice and Lens. The man in form on the Lille side is the Turkish Yilmaz, still scorer (13th goal of the season). In the race for the Europa League, no competitor has won a match. Indeed, Lens (5th), Rennes (7th) and Montpellier (8th) lost. Olympique de Marseille (6th) took 1 point at home against Strasbourg. Then, Asse (12th) and Bordeaux (15th) took a serious option in the race to maintain. Nantes (18th) also won on the pitch of Brest and will continue to fight to avoid 18th place against its direct competitors Strasbourg (16th) and Lorient (17th). Finally, Nîmes (19th) is on track to join Dijon (20th) in Ligue 2. img.20mn.fr/y94t-Z7kQXOyRJGo9XKtFw/768x492_la-s...

Serie A (Italy)

This 35th day of the Italian championship is necessarily marked by the title of Inter Milan. After his victory in Crotone two to nil, Conte's men won the club's 19th title. 11 years that the Nezazurris have been waiting for this. Nevertheless, the race for the podium and qualifying places in Europe is raging. After their victory, Juventus (3rd) and AC Milan (4th) join Atalanta Bergamo (2nd) on 69 points who drew at Sassuolo. The indefatigable Cristiano Ronaldo saved the Old Lady with a double at the very end of the match. Napoli (5th) and Lazio Roma (6th) are also neck and neck. Only 5 points separate Atalanta from the Romans. Finally, Crotone (20th) is officially in Serie B next season. Parma (19th), who play tonight against Torino (17th) will try to get back on their direct competitors namely Benevento (18th), his opponent tonight, or Cagliari (16th). https://static.cnews.fr/sites/default/files/inter_milan_608ec1f6b8ffc.jpg

The battle for the Spanish coronation is crazy. The three cadors all won their matches. Thanks to a goal by Llorente, Atlético Madrid (1st) won 1-0 on the lawn of Elche. In the middle of its double confrontation against Chelsea in the semi-finals of the Champions League, Real Madrid (2nd) negotiated well the reception of Osasuna (11th). Victory 2-0 with goals from Brazilians Militao and Casemiro. For its part, FC Barcelona made a great move in Valencia. Victory 3-2 with a double of the genius Messi (29th goal of the season in La Liga). Zidane and Koeman's men have 74 points, two points behind Simeone's Atletico. Sevilla FC (4th) receives tonight against Bilbao (10th) and could return to 73 points if they win.
