Another weekend of European football action is in the books, and the title race finish line draws closer.
In the Premier League, Liverpool went closer to winning the title with a win against Leicester City, even as closest competitors Arsenal comfortably beat Ipswich Town. Manchester City left it late against Everton, and Manchester United faced another loss at Old Trafford.
In La Liga, Barcelona's winning streak continued, this time after a stunning comeback against Celta Vigo, while Real Madrid kept pace with a narrow win, thanks to a late Federico Valverde stunner. The Bundesliga title race now seems headed in Bayern Munich's way, after they won and Bayer Leverkusen drew, while in Serie A, leaders Inter Milan lost to Bologna, and saw Napoli go level with them on points at the top of the table.
