1. Bayern win a title. Five days after his disappointment in the Champions League, Bayern Munich overtook well by crushing Arminia Bielefeld (0-3). Once is not common, Lewandowski was silent in this part as it was Laursen against his side (10th), Gnabry (45th + 7) and Musiala (85th) who made the difference. Now 9 points ahead of Dortmund, Bayern will become champions if their big rival succeeds next Saturday. In your calendars.
2. Strasbourg is wrong. In the battle for the podium Strasbourg missed a great opportunity to get closer to the podium by awarding a draw to Troyes (1-1). As well launched as it was from a penalty from Diallo (56th), the Alsatian club, who generally dominated but never made it to the break, was taken back at the end of the game on a penalty from Tardieu (85th). A very bad operation for the RCSA, who are in 5th place now 3 points less than Rennes, 3rd.
3. Guimaraes enjoy it! If Lyon has been worth it the past few weeks, Bruno Guimaraes is having fun with Newcastle. The Brazilian midfielder scored twice against Leicester (2-1). But well launched by Lookman (19th), the Foxes conceded the equalizing goal from the former Gone (30th), goalscorer in extra time with a diving header to ignite St James’ Park (90th + 4). The South American has already scored 3 goals with his new club, that’s as much as during his two-year stay in Lyon!
4. Chelsea in the FA Cup final.rarely worried, the Blues logically took over Crystal Palace (2-0) in the second semi-final. For an hour of silence, the European champion made the difference with Loftus-Cheek (65th) and Mount (76th). The band Thomas Tuchel will find LiverpoolMay 14, in the remake of the last League Cup final, won on penalties from the Reds. A shock that promises, again.
5. Angers holds the shock. Not sure about maintenance yet Angers took a good point from their trip to Nantes (1-1). A derby that started well for the SCO, carried by the inevitable Boufal (18th). While Mandrea saved the house many times, Coulibaly found fault for the Canaries after returning from the locker room (53rd). With now 34 points, Angers will have to make an extra effort to save.
6. One draw, two losers. In the L1 fear match of the day, Metz, 20th, and Clermont, 18th, failed to split (1-1). The red lantern of the Moselle, far away after De Prville’s goal (24th), played more than a halftime with the immediate expulsion of Niane (40th). The newly promoted, who had equalized by Dossou (37th) a few minutes earlier, did not take advantage of getting out of the relegation zone. A result that does not suit anyone…
7. Atletico on the wire!Defeated Mallorca (1-0), last weekend, Atletico Madrid resumed their advance by beating Espanyol (2-1). Despite a performance from Carrasco (52nd), the Spanish champion, who was outnumbered after the expulsion of Kondogbia (71st), cracked on a goal by De Tomas (74th). At the end of extra time, Carrasco doubled himself by scoring from the penalty spot (90th + 8th). A very important success in the race for the podium.
8. No heroes in the Hérault. In the match without real play on Sunday in L1 Montpellier and Reims could not find the fault (0-0). The two teams, who have lost hope for this season, have played the game by getting numerous chances, especially the team Champagne, which has framed a total of 9 shots. But he lacked the efficiency for the purpose of making people shudder the spectators came to La Mosson, who were entitled to the only goalless draw of the 32nd day.
9. Nice doesn’t give up. At the end of a globally balanced meeting, Nice took a precious victory over Lorient (2-1). Well launched by a penalty from Delort (54th), de Gym was immediately taken by a nice goal from Laurent. It was as extra time approached that, on a perfect cross from Dolberg, the Algerian striker freed the Aiglons with a blow from his helmet (88th). A success that allows Nice to take 4th place 2 points from Rennes, 3rd. To find out more about this competition, find it here!
10. Game, set and match for Lyon. Three days after his elimination from the Europa League, Olympique Lyonnais put out a standard rouste Bordeaux (6-1). Dembl (20th, 90th+1), Toko Ekambi (27th, 68th), Paqueta (34th) and Faivre (46th) benefited incredible defensive mistakes Girondins having fun. Mara saved his honor from the penalty spot (85th) but that didn’t stop 19th in the championship sinking again. To find out more about this competition, find it here!
