Pep Guardiola is inching closer to his goal of giving Bayern Munich one more Bundesliga trophy in his last run with the team.
Provided with a Borussia Dortmund loss or draw on the road against VfB Stuttgart, Bayern could clinch its fourth consecutive German league title on Saturday should it get past Hertha Berlin at Olympiastadion.
Juventus could accomplish the same against Fiorentina this weekend to win its fifth straight Italian Serie A title if Napoli drops to Roma on Monday on the road.
In Spanish La Liga, however, things are much more complicated as Barcelona is now tied with Atlético Madrid atop the table with 79 points with Real Madrid trailing just one point behind. Each team has a rather light task this weekend in Sporting Gijón, Málaga and Rayo Vallecano, respectively, but any slip-up at this juncture could dash each team’s title dreams.
For Leicester City, getting an important draw last weekend at West Ham kept the Foxes in the driver’s seat in their chase for the once-improbably English Premier League title. Claudio Ranieri and Co. — minus Jamie Vardy who is suspended — will host Swansea City this weekend holding a five-point lead with second-place Tottenham taking the pitch on Monday against West Bromwich Albion.
Also winding down is the English FA Cup, which will host its semifinals this weekend with Everton-Manchester United taking place on Saturday and Crystal Palace-Watford on Sunday.
Stateside, MLS will see San Jose Earthquakes-Sporting KC and New York Red Bulls-Orlando City SC get national coverage this Sunday with the matches airing on ESPN and Fox Sports 1, respectively.
