What a weekend of football! Barcelona lost, but Barcelona won, and won big. The men's team clocked out on the penultimate matchday of a thrilling La Liga title race but the women's team won the biggest game of the weekend, flattening Chelsea in the UEFA (W) Champions League final. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid both won, which means just two points separate the two with one game left.
In England, Leicester City beat Chelsea to win the 2020-21 FA Cup. In league action, Alisson Becker performed a minor miracle to keep Liverpool in the hunt for a Champions League place. In Italy, Inter Milan and Juventus produced another classic, while Atalanta sealed a Champions League place for the third year running. AC Milan did not. Not yet, anyway.
In Germany, Robert Lewandowski equalled one of the league's great records as Bayern Munich continued winning. Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, sealed a Champions League place in style. In France, PSG won and Lille drew, which means Lille now lead the defending champions by just one point going into the last game of the season.
Here are the best numbers from this weekend:
UEFA Women's Champions League

34
Bayern Munich have now scored in 34 consecutive away Bundesliga games, breaking their own league record set between 2012-14. To put it another way, Bayern have not gone an away game without a goal under Hansi Flick.

Serie A

Messi-Ronaldo watch
