Ruzomberok 7 ( seven ) Trnava 0 Pjaca.
Real 8 ( eight ) Celta 0 Alex Telles.

Towering CB Badiashile gets himself on the score sheet, Corner is swung in by Eriksen and the Badiashile goes up with his opponent but the 6,4 CB towers above and connects well with the ball as he hits it into the floor and the keeper can't do anything as is routed to the spot!

Botafogo 4 Corinthians 0 Hulk on 88 minutes.
Dortmund 3 Berlin 3 Henrichs.

Plenty of goals this week as some teams hit top form against the also-rans...

Youngster Hlozak comes on for the sensational Neymar and wastes no time making his presence felt! His first touch is to receive the ball from Griezmann on the edge of the box and makes a driving run into the Box before holding off the defender as he lifts a chip over the advancing keeper!

Brazil

Fluminense 42 +29
Botafogo 39 +33

Great win for Santos as they tore struggling Goias a new one but a great win for Flu keeps them right in contention as does another three points for the defending Champions Botafogo, still too close to call but next weeks game between Flu and Botafogo could decide an awful lot...

With key players missing, pragmatism was the only way... was actually hoping might sneak a winner at the end but i'll take a 0-0 and survival - now to really have some fun and test somethings out for next season...

Premiership

Watford 40 +24
Charlton 37 +14
Arsenal 34 +4
Chelsea 33 +7
Man City 33 +5

Just three points separates the top two with "that" game to look forward to next week as leaders and current Champions Watford enter their toughest phase of the campaign as they now need to face Charlton at home then Man City and Villa away from home. No wins in three for Watford and no Harry Kane to lead the line...

Championship

Birmingham 45 +17 promoted
Wednesday 33 -1
Burnley 30 +3
------
Banstead 30 +1
Spurs  29 +4

Sort that lot out if you can...Everyone seems capable of beating everyone else although Burnley have the toughest runin...

France

Nantes 54 +63
Marseille 47 +34
Monaco 45 +9
Paris 36 +17

One more win next week at Paris and Nantes will be untouchable, never easy though as Paris have a strong home record...

Schalke 51 +39 CHAMPIONS
Bayern 36 +12

Gladbach 31 +3

What next for Schalke ?...

Holland

Ajax 51 +48

Italy

AC Milan 45 +27
Inter Milan 44 +20
Juventus 41 +27
Lazio 36 +22

A fine win at Juventus for second placed Inter keeps them in contention at the top with AC still having to visit Juventus in cup final week, should be a huge game...

Scotland

Celtic 41 +22
Motherwell 37 +12
Hibs 36 +9
Aberdeen 36 +7

Motherwell fans were hoping that Hibs could nick a point at Celtic this week but that wasn't to be so Celtic stay in a strong position with just three games left and even a win for Motherwell at Celtic in two week's time wont guarantee top spot unless Celtic drop points against Partick next week, looking good for Celtic who are undbeaten now in twelve league games...

Spain

Barcelona 50 +30
Atletico 42 +39
Real 41 +44
Betis 40 +32

One point from three remaining games will see Barcelona crowned Champions again...

Harrisburg 40 +27
