Beginning this week most of the leagues around the World are wrapping up.
In the A-League, the semi finals are this weekend, with Perth Glory facing Adelaide United and Sydney FC facing Melbourne Victory. Perth Glory will be looking to continue their regular season form which saw them finish on top, while Sydney FC will be looking to win back to back titles. Melbourne Victory will also be looking to add to their tally of titles with them holding the highest amount of championships.
La Liga wraps up at the end of next week although the champions have already been crowned with Barcelona winning back to back titles. Lionel Messi was on fire this year, winning the golden boot scoring 34 goals and getting 13 assists and counting. The loss of Cristiano Ronaldo deemed to be to much with 2018 Champions League Champions Real Madrid, finishing in 3rd place, currently 15 points behind Barcelona. This only means one thing; Real Madrid are going to splash the cash in the transfer window.
Ligue 1 has 3 matches left although Paris Saint Germain were crowned as champions on the 22nd of April. This was no surprise with the club winning 6 of the last 7 Ligue 1 seasons. Additionally the acquisition of French superstar Kylian Mbappe proved too much to handle with the teenager scoring 30 goals in 27 games. With Real Madrid on the prowl for new superstars to fill their team, I think that they will come with an offer for Mbappe that PSG can't refuse.
The Bundesliga is going right down to the wire with Bayern Munich ahead of Borussia Dortmund by 4 points. With 2 games left, Dortmund must win both to have a chance, with a loss or a draw not being enough. It's not all roses for Bayern though as they face RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt who are 3rd and 4th respectively. Two draws or one win from those games will be enough, crowning Bayern Munich as the champions of Germany. I do think though in the end it is unlike Bayern will lose both games as they have been in great form as of late. It will definitely be interesting to see how it pans out.
The Serie A also crowned an early winner with Juventus currently leading the league by 16 points with 3 games left. With the acquisition of Cristiano Ronaldo it was impossible to see the league go any other way. Juventus will be disappointed with their performance in the Champions League, getting knocked out in the quarter finals. It will be interesting to see how they bounce back in that competition next year.
As Guido spoke about yesterday, the Premier League is still very much alive and in the balance.
